i thought that a business blogg might work well to quickly access useful information – the latest gizmos/business ideas/books/movies/? – which i’m hoping you and your LINKEDIN connections will post on the blogg!
to pool our enthusiasm – bounce ideas about – link up with like minded people and not like minded too
i will create a post called CONTRIBUTIONS? [do suggest something better pls] where you can enter what ever you like and if it gets replies/responses i can then create a new post for it

i think the only way to master something is to do it a lot!
PLEASE feel completely OK making suggestions criticisms about the blogg and anything else – to improve it make it more user friendly and enjoyable

i think i have got some fun stuff on here too and i’d love you to add your best links to too [to to?] [too to?] [too too?] [as well] it!

maybe we can create a question and answer post and maybe a wants and an offer posts as well?
are there too many posts?
are there any negatives to blogging?
besides it becoming addictive.
i’m hoping that this blogg with be valuable to anyone that looks at it and be really useful and enjoyable and…. fluid[i’ve had to stop myself from use the o word – organic!]
on a financial program i heard a CEO say “our stocks are really organic” [as in stocks and shares not beef!]


here are 2 i heard this morning
bla bal blaa yadda yadda yadda …..the height of ideology………[!?]
………it’s granularity….[what?] the interviewer also blinked i think in disbelief when he heard this- steven sucker on talking to a person who wrote a book on obama the democrat [Hard TAlk BBC]
got any gems you’d like to add?

One time zone only – milli day clock makes a whole lot more sense to me. It does have problems too! Time is a facinating thing – John Hynes web site is packed with absolutely fascinating information about all sorts of different TIMES & live clocks of all kinds.

UPDATE:@ 077.833D398.194 = 13th May 2008 = 077.833 [398.194 = 512 [milliday] [converter was deceased/broken!]

Due to swatch having removed the desktop download of ”internet time”
I’m removing them too!

A week ago i didn’t even know there was such a thing as decimal time let alone a clock! I had thought about it but soon gave up as my brain started to hurt!
So how does it work?

a 12thousand year old iceberg’s ice makes the purest water.
the ‘purity’ metre shows 0.1
a glass of tap water shows + – 400 [newfoundland?]
i wonder what our tap water would show?
heard this on the thirsty traveller [satellite tv]
didn’t catch the brand name but vodka is make with it
i wonder how much it would cost to harvest icebergs to bottle it?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/help/faq/what_is_a_podcast.shtml

“Podcasting lets you automatically receive the latest episode of your chosen programme as soon as it’s available. You need to “subscribe” to receive a podcast, rather like you might subscribe to a magazine and get it delivered each week. An important difference is that all of the BBC’s podcasts are free and you can stop receiving the files at any time.

In order to sign up for a podcast you need an internet connection and a piece of podcast software which is usually available free of charge. This software can check the BBC for new episodes and automatically download them for you.”
