• Brainstorming the future - technology in 2020. 19 Jun 2010 (Forum)
  I`m thinking of how some changes seem to come out of nowhere (at least to the general public) For excample - when I saw the first `double housebrick` mobile phone with it`s WW2 style pull out  anntennae - it seemed very similar to past radio telephones and no way would I have predicted the modern, palm of the hand smartphone - with all of it`s features. When you reflect on the hundreds and thousands of years of our species dominance on the planet - it seems grasping possibilites has been difficult - with hundreds of generations being born, living and dying , ice ages coming and going - and bones piling up in caves.

• Writing about motoring 5 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  I`m having trouble thinking of a single new topic now - not really writers block, but more burnout on the subject. Perhaps it`s better if you`re more into debating. I was never really into that - it was more about attempts to create `stand alone content` - to generate a little good feeling. Mostly. Creating `content` here has been interesting - a slate on which to write - just for amusement with no deadlines to meet - unlike the professional writer, or Journalist.
• Chrysler PT Cruiser (2000 - ) - Parts not exactly free... 28 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  Had to abort a trip to Sussex last Sunday at Roehampton Vale, where I became very aware of a dragging brake. In the petrol station there, the o/s front wheel was nearly too hot to touch. The AA sent a local proxy with a get-you-home truck which got us back here. On Monday took the car to my fine Aussie indy near here. He said the o/s disc had taken some punishment and anyway had corrosion on the inside braking surface.
