G’Day World #319 – A Little

Today we have a return of the “Cam Heart To Heart” show – aka “the rant” – where I don’t bother with a guest, I just tell you about what’s been on my mind lately. Today I talk about getting myself a performance coach, about reading up on Carl Jung, on Karl Marx, the Russian Revolution and ask, yet again, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING WITH YOUR LIVES???

In the background I’m playing these songs:

The Sub-Vocalizing Phone

Straight out of sci-fi (get used to hearing that over the next decade), comes the phone that you use without speaking. According to New Scientist:

‘A neckband that translates thought into speech by picking up nerve signals has been used to demonstrate a “voiceless” phone call for the first time.

With careful training a person can send nerve signals to their vocal cords without making a sound. These signals are picked up by the neckband and relayed wirelessly to a computer that converts them into words spoken by a computerised voice.’

Have you seen this man?

Heinrich Kieber, a 42-year-old former bank employee from a Liechtenstein bank, is wanted on suspicion of selling a cd-rom containing information about bank clients with secret (read “tax evasion”) accounts totalling over $300 billion to the German government for a fee of more than 4 million euros ($6.2 million). He is believed to be hiding in… Australia. Apparently he has gone into hiding disguised as Michael Stipe.

TPN TXT about to launch

A very exciting day at TPN. The proofs of the first book to be published by TPN TXT, the book arm of TPN, arrived today.

Designing 2050 -- 001

Designing 2050 -- 002

Designing 2050 -- 003

The book is called “Designing 2050 – Pathways to sustainable prosperity on spaceship earth” and it has been written by my friend Dr Peter Ellyard, Australia’s leading futurist.

It’s a VERY exciting book, something I am incredibly proud to be associated with, and it will go on sale, in both a print and an ebook version, very, very soon.
