While this is a really small reference there are not enough references to the “hidden costs” of carbon economies.

While we are all happy to take the assumed benefits of expansion and productivity the carbon that powers this is rarely, if ever, taken into a/c

The process of duplication and exposure

I have started repeating myself.

With 2 locations where I can ramble and complain I have found that it is quite easy to write an opinion at Telepoint and then copy it here.

Lets Just do it…………

This is worth supporting IMO

He has been elected on a strong mandate for change.

On about Feb 1 , 2009

He will beaten up a lot because he has not achieved or been [...]

The world waits?

Not quite sure why but the US presidential election is a big time waiting event.

It will be interesteing when Obama wins.

I think a lot of the US and the world generally is looking for a significant change to the US position on many issues.

I guess we can only wait and see if [...]

The world of retail

Postage pirates must exist in the real world as well?

Recent customer decided that the stamp from the PO was the real cost of postage (lets forget about insurance, packing and handling) and advised me that I should credit their account with the difference (which actually turns out to be $1.49 – actual postage without [...]
