Google Calendar error

I just got this error while I was trying to schedule my tasks for today into my diary. I’m guessing it relates to the 1000 duplicate diary entries I had to delete last night which we caused by Google’s new Outlook synch application. And now I’m locked out of adding new items to my calendar! Arrrgh. Yet again, living in the cloud fails the most basic of requirements.

Radio Lab Knocks It Out Of The Park Yet Again

This episode of Raido Lab on deception is just brilliant – as they usually are – in it’s choice of subject matter, it’s production approach, selection of guests, editing – everything. Really drives me crazy how good these folks are, in an inspiring kind of way. Makes me ask the question “how can I make my shows this good?”

Deception

Show #402

Friday, February 29, 2008

We look at lies, liars, and lie catchers, and ask: can you lead a life without deception? We consult a cast of characters, from pathological liars to lying snakes to drunken psychiatrists, to try and understand the dark trait of deception.

Obama Is Just Like The Rest

And there you have it. From the below BBC report, it’s clear that Obama isn’t any different from Bush. When it was reported that his pastor made critical remarks about the US’s track record in international affairs, Obama distanced himself from them, saying he denounces any statement that disparages “our great country”. He can’t or won’t be honest about the USA’s track record in sponsoring state terrorism around the world. If he can’t do that, ow can he change things? If a Presidential candidate isn’t willing to speak honestly, what hope is there that he is genuine about changing things for the better?

See how the Democrats and the Republicans are just the same party? Nothing is going to change until we find a way to re-engineer the system, folks.

In a sermon on the Sunday after the attacks of 11 September 2001, Mr Wright told his congregation: “We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards.

“America’s chickens are coming home to roost.”

“I categorically denounce any statement that disparages our great country or serves to divide us from our allies,” he wrote.

Zen Geometry

The kids and I went to The Blue Train Cafe today (my last visit to one of my long-time favourite Melbourne haunts) for lunch and I took my geometry kit. This is one of my favourite ways to relax. There is something about working out basic platonic solids and golden ratio designs, armed with only a compass, ruler and pencil, which completely absorbs my attention and concentration for an hour and gives me a bunch of joy. I never paid attention to geometry as a kid. It’s only been the last five years or so that I have been so fascinated by it. The book that I use as a guide, “Geometry Of The Golden Section“, is something I picked up in a little bookshop besides the abbey in Vézelay in France in 2004. If you ever get a chance to visit Vézelay, do it. It’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited. The abbey does a polyphonic mass which is beautiful enough to impress even a militant atheist such as myself. And the abbey itself, which is from the 9th century, is simple amazing. Anyway, as I was saying – I loves me some time with a compass.
