I wish it was more landscape, but hey great shot.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few years you’ll know that the world financial systems have been becoming more and more unstable.
If you’d like to get an understanding of what is happening then you MUST watch this explanation.

Chris has been researching this topic for years and has condensed down the relevant facts into a 3 hour presentation. Please don’t be daunted by the length, you really really need to watch this.
This is your opportunity to take the red pill, don’t hesitate.

I think my fav was the balljoint.
Thought I’d post here about a couple of great pics I found on flickr…

They make really nice wallpapers…
I have a calculator in the office that delivers very bizarre results to calculations.
100 + 10% = 110 (in most rational places)
However my Casio J-100w tells me it’s 111.1111111. Better still 100 + 60% comes back as 250.
Every other calculator I get my hands on gives me normal results, but this one is from the twilight zone…
Had a call on my mobile from a “private” number…
The connection was bad and it sounded like they were calling from inside a helicopter. She told me they were representing some company about to have their IPO and could they get my email address to send me some info.
I said certainly… my email address is B I L L G @ M I C R O S O F T . C O M
“Thank you” she said, “and you are from Denmark, is that correct?”
I said sure…
At that point I started to lose it and said I’m in a meeting, gotta go…
Playing around with a few RSS feeds and I needed to see the structure of the document. I trawled through 3 or 4 different open source projects before I found Peters XML Editor. It’s not supported anymore, but it does exactly what I needed it to do without any fuss.
I had to implement tags for a site I’m developing and found this useful article on the topic:-
I used the 3 table version as recommended and then worked out the add/edit routines. Hopefully it’s all smooth from here.

Had another enjoyable Friday night playing Wii Sports and Wii Fitness games at a mates place.
The tennis and bowling are the most enjoyable of the Wii Sports collection. I like the baseball as well, but the golf and boxing I found boring.
The balance board has me enthralled. Who knew that standing up could be so much fun? ;) Although the programmers seem to have not given the product quite as much attention overall as they have the details of each game.
Trying to either setup a series of activities isn’t possible and playing with friends becomes annoying when you have to go all the way back to the menu to change profile. There should have been some kind of quick profile change menu along the top.
I’m still keen for one, but then I’m only getting to use it once a week. perhaps with daily use I’d become jaded faster.
