The Environmentalist

Over at http://www.blogactionday.org/ the question on the front page was asked:

"What would happen if every blog published posts discussing the same issue, on the same day?
One issue. One day. Thousands of voices."

While obviously a rhetorical question, I couldn't help but be reminded of the "Make Poverty History" campaign. But rhetorical questions are still questions......

My short answer? Nothing. (I could elaborate on the meaning of that term "Nothing" for instance use slang words that mean "Nothing" like "Zip" or "Diddly Squat" or "Naught", but I think that wouldn't serve much of a purpose except to... I can't actually think of a purpose for that.... anyway, back to the topic at hand...)

On the appointed day of October 15, I'll be posting something regarding the environment. Suffice it to say, that I'll be using more maths than I've used in years. I just hope that the weather clears up for it.

BTW, I got the pic from http://flickr.com/photos/urbanbicyclist/464086542/ just so you know

The Re-Animation

Kia Ora, and welcome to the re-animated (that's re-animated as in "Frankenstein") version of this particular unimportant piece of the internet stratum. Over the course of the season of this particular incarnation, I will mention things that I find interesting, perhaps even writing something interesting myself (but don't get your collective hopes up) If you would like to contribute to the ongoing maintenance of this elbow on the series of tubes that make up the internets, well I'm sorry, you can't. Comments however are welcome, as are off topic rants, allusions to Godwins law, and name dropping of obscure historical people. Finally, not that I'm expecting hordes of extremist followers of Ned Ludd to come and read this, (my estimates are that there will be about five) I might not link to every cryptic reference to its wikipedian equivalent. So with little further ado, I present the content of the next post.


I often see bizarre things (not sure just why, perhaps they're not that strange after all) but it's not often that I have the opportunity to get a photo. This was taken just after landing at Auckland airport on Friday. You can see the jet engine in the bottom left corner there. It seems that there is at least a token effort to reduce carbon emissions by someone at the airport.....
