Observations on the world and its inhabitants
If someone declares that they have a mental disorder, most other people know that they’re to respond with sympathy. Of course, I expect to hear ‘Not necessarily‘, ‘It depends‘, and ‘not everybody‘ etc etc. Well stuff it – when anybody declares that they have depression, I know the reactions I see. Nobody has authority over ...
Recently I’ve become re-addicted to Star Trek Voyager. In fact I had not seen Series 5 to 7 so it was just great to catch up. Voyager is like no other Star Trek spin off. Those who still recall and admire the original Star Trek and can’t unstick themselves from Captain Kirk, Dr McCoy and ...
Why should this TED video annoy me? I have no problem with the content of what is said per se. So what could be the problem? It’s this syndrome that the humans are developing where: 1. Some big-fish researcher with fancy machines investigates some fascinating thing – and comes up with some answers. 2. Then ...
I predict it now – London is going to be even ‘hotter’ for business and standards of living, in about 5 to 10 years time. The video below was made from some clips and photos I took when I was working in ‘the city’ a couple weeks ago. It was the peak of Summer – ...
Well, it’s an amazing time here in England at the moment; we’re having a heatwave!! That means that the temperature here is around 30 degrees C. Yes – by Rock standards, that’s not too bad. This week I’m in London having a great time. It’s wild out here!! I mean booze and food are being ...
I’ll be hooked on Amy’s songs for the next few weeks, I can tell. Amy’s been a star in Scotland, where the Cap is heading for a ‘trip’ in July. [I’m sure there is at least one idiot out there who’s thinking that my trip to Scotland has something to do with Amy. I mean ...
It’s the greatest time to be alive!! And ‘time’ is of the essence. I recall 35 years ago as high-school kids we wondered almost weekly what the world would be like in 2010 (an important ‘landmark’ of the future for me). Well, I’m here! And the ‘future’ is great! Live video conferencing on handheld devices ...
The Cap has been watching – and listening – very carefully to Barcelona… Um.. it’s an alternative Rock group – hardly recognised by many. However, the Cap is a supporter of small bands who are really trying to get ahead. As some may know, the Cap is also Life Member at Magnatune…and they’re ‘not evil’. ...
In recent weeks the hype about Samsung Galaxy S4 has grown to maddening proportions. There were leaks about the phone in China and other parts of the world. It was reported that HTC were so worried that they gate crashed the launch of the S4 to promote their own stuff. Well the fever continues as ...
The Cap is still rather ‘disturbed’ as you will see.. and ‘Disturbed’ no doubt adds to the levels of ‘disturbance’. I’ve been moved by Disturbed’s lastest compilation album ‘ The Lost Children’. Fear not, before you reach to your ‘Freudian’ textbooks to assist you in your amateur psychoanalysis of my person, know that your System ...
