Ok, I'll join in the fun. Greenbelt Wooo!!, and indeed, Hooo!!! Maybe I'll get more excited when I get there. I am looking ion forward to it but with the move imminent I'd rather be preparing for that. Mind you I'm not overly excited about that yet either. Mmmmm I wonder why?

In other news:

That great bastion of Captilist oppression, Wal-Mart, has not only be made to recognise unions in China but has had a Communist Party branch office opened in one of its stores there. Who'd have thought that you'd get a Communist Party branch in a supermarket reknowned for its distaste of worker's rights?

Mao must be spinning in his grave!

Another emblem of Capitalist folly Apple has been forced to pay Creative, the manufacturers of the far superior Zen range, $100m in compensation for stealing their patents. In addition Creative are allowed to manufacture Ipod compatible accessories too.

The Ipod is definite proof that clever marketing can beat a superior product. The Creative range is easier to use, has a longer battery life, is cheaper and can play more formats. Yet Apple have managed to dominate the market inspite of this.

And finally.....

A call for help

A Buddhist monk in Oldrum is asking if anyone could assist by providing a meeting place for him to hold meditation classes. The Reverend Chushin Passmore returned from a monastery in Northern California 5 years ago. He has previously led classes around the city but had to stop following illness. Now he needs to find somewhere to restart his classes.

In an odd part it says that he used to hold classes in a church hall near where we now live. Buddhists in a church hall? Whatever next? Human sacrifices on the altar?
