Is work all you do?

It’s easy to forget that your brain is like any other party of your body. It needs plenty of exercise but also plenty of rest.

We’re fortunate to be experiencing the second most important communication revolution in history

Stuart Auld — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 00:22:00 +0000

David Meerman Scott speaks about the second most important communication revolution

in history; obviously the Internet.

He believes the most important one to be the printing press.

I agree with that position as well. It brought education and knowledge to the man in the street and the Internet has done the same, although it is still in its infancy.

Read his preamble here and then watch the clip.

Google & Amazon head to head in 2013

Stuart Auld — Wed, 26 Dec 2012 09:30:54 +0000

I think Amazon is going to find it very hard to beat Google. Google is a concern because they are going to be the “go to” for everything; not just books and music but right through to travel as well http://www.smh.com.au/it-pro/business-it/amazon-google-on-collision-course-in-2013-20121226-2bvqs.html

Aspirin, the 2,000-Year-Old Wonder Drug

Stuart Auld — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 12:05:37 +0000

The statistics in this article are amazing. I thought Bloomberg was a bit of a nutter banning XL soft drink and trans fats but maybe it will catch on. We could certainly do with more people watching their health in this country. The article shows that aspirin not only lowers heart attacks but dramatically reduced the incidence of many cancers, by as much as 47% http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/12/opinion/the-2000-year-old-wonder-drug.html?ref=opinion&_r=0

North Korea: A tourism paradise?
Old brochures promoting North Korea as a trendy, desirable holiday destination.

Enjoy such things as “joyful boating”.
Nice…..

Irena Sendler

My ignorance shows…… I’d never heard of this incredible lady before today. She saved thousands of Jewish children from The Holocaust in Poland. I’d like to find the DVD documentary. It’s called In The name of Their Mothers http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irena_Sendler

Letters of Note: Wretched woman!

Stuart Auld — Fri, 16 Nov 2012 21:09:11 +0000

An amazing, defiant letter from an escaped slave to the wife of his former owner

Jarm Logue, who wrote an angry letter to his former owner

You can feel his anger in the letter. The last paragraph is great.

His biography is available here. He would have been an interesting man to meet.
