projects, tracks and links
I really like wordpress. It works beautifully, is straight forward, and let’s you concentrate on your blog rather than technicalities. I’m quite geeky, and don’t consider click’n go to be a good approach to computing, but this is just in a different league. Anyway, I’ve got so many cool ideas and projects that I need to track and want to share, I’ll need to blogroll so big and large it’s gonna outweigh the main page. So rather than boring most of you with my stuff, on every page against your will (as the theme I’m using puts the blogroll automatically on every page) I’ll post all my stuff here and geek out with those who are interested to your heart’s content while leaving everyone else in piece.
Of course, of you can think of anything to add, or that you think is cool and should look at, post me a comment! And no, you don’t have register or give your email for that. not that i spam ever, anyway.

Food Responsibility
- I’ve just come back from a screening of “end of the line” documentary, a well told, beautifully shot and easy as well as gripping to watch tale of what is going on the biggest part of our world. Hidden from view, ignored by politicians and ruthlessly exploited, fish and oceans have no voice to tell what’s happening to them and there environment, but these 86 mins of film will chill you to the bone. As the scale of the problem unfolds in front your shocked eyes, the guilt sets in that you yourself too have to take some blame, and there’s nothing better you can do than push this problem more into the public. “If you did this to Orang-utans, Tigers, Cheetahs, [..] there’ll be turds on people doors. They’ll burn each others houses down and scratch their cars. And yet, they do it to things in the sea, and it’s the same thing…”
“We are at war with fish, [...] and we are winning”
Fishfarming: “..you actually convert fish from one species to the other, you don’t make more…”The oceans are dying, and this is film full of blood, guts and unforeseen consequences tells us that we not only have to stop repeating past mistakes but prevent making new ones.
Give it a touch of publicity, the only cinema showing it in London tonight had two people watching, one of them was me. - End of the Line movie documentary link
