Hierarchical impacts of the length of technology waves: An analysis of technolabor homeostasis

"I don't know how, under any reading of the law, placing a pie in someone's face can be deemed creating a public alarm"

I really must agree with Farkzien Jay-Tea, that this is an awesome quote. Huzzah.

Also, Foom is good, and after a brief google I discovered that there is a band called Fin Fang Foom which is the kind of thing I'd call my band if I had one. Oh, and if I didn't think that while being made of two excellent words, overall as a band name it leaves me whelmed.

In actual news of interest, email correspondence with Dan has revealed (and I hope I'm not stealing his thunder) that he is back on the horse of BEING A MARINE. Conveniently in his last email he gave the official name of "three days of hell" and it appears to be The Potential Royal Marines Course, which you can read about, like on that link right? It seems pretty good, except anything that involves rope work, as in "climb a rope" gets the big fek off from this heavy weak assed bastard. I couldn't climb a rope if I was paid too. Best part of the three days appears to be:

If you have been successful, you will be issued with one pair of combat boots and socks. Do not use them for running but do break them in before your next training. Footcare guidance will be issued at the same time.

Yeah! A pair of boots. Better than a poncy piece of paper to put in a frame. - Also note Dan, you have to do the run during the course as well. (Day 2)

I can't wait till Dan gets to storm Gibraltar.

The title of the post comes to us care of Technological Forecasting and Social Change, Volume 68, Issue 1, September 2001, Pages 81-104. (Chihiro Watanabe, Bing Zhu and Toshinori Miyazawa) Whose abstract I have just read, and understood pretty much none of. However, some of the other stuff in the journal is good times. Oh yeah.
