Peakonomics, the New Times and your Third Ear

Fresh from the Transition Conference, I've three new concepts to share...

1. Peakonomics

Now I'm sure I'm not the first to come up with the phrase 'peakonomics', but after Nicole M. Foss's presentation on Saturday, I'm running with it and ordering a special sowester set; the kind best suited to dealing with the sort of sh*t that's about to leave the financial fan in millions of foul-smelling little pieces.

You see, whilst the Transition movement (no pun intended) has begun its journey ...

Visit Sound Alternatives



Anyone seeking positive solutions to global challenges such as climate change, financial meltdown or simply creating a happy, sustainable lifestyle - rather than a constant stream of bad news from the media - can find hope and inspiration in a new phone-based, radio show – Sound Alternatives.



“The idea of phone-based radio may sound strange,” says Carl Munson of Sound Alternatives. “But it's an ideal way of sharing vitally important information in a really ...

Age of Stupor

Keywords: age of stupid, age of stupor, climate change, peak oil
Categories: Society
You may have heard that a new 'last chance to tackle climate change' film has been released. Its name: Age of Stupid; its effect, so far fairly minimal, apart from its re-rousing of the 'converted' when it comes to such issues.



In my world, climate change (as well as its troublesome relatives - peak oil, the capitalism crunch and a gross misunderstanding of what human beings are really for) is a given, a foundational issue around which I structure my lifestyle.

Heard your carless whisper - suggest a big sombrero and SPF30...
A formula for happiness

Sounds good to me. Who spoke of the "coolness of the eye"?

Hey - that's what I'm talking about!

Dr Mercola was on the Happiness trail too yesterday sharing the "simple secrets of how to be happy" and the work of Darshan Goswami, M.S., PE (whatever they stand for?!) who says: "Being happy is really a choice we make. The secret of Happiness is simple, very simple - you decide if you want to be happy!"

Personally, I can see there's an element of choice. But you gotta go to work on it (your self) too. As a mate said to me a few days back: "crime doesn't crack itself".

See for yourself at:

Yo - pimp that Silver Cross ride baby!
Good to see you here Ian and I think your purple trousers will blend nicely with the corporate livery here - the "neglected outpost on the fringes of Copperstrings".
Let's see what we can do about that, S&S is like a malt whisky - mature, savoured rarely but much appreciated; I'm at your service and have included some S&S archive highlights in the related links. These are big-hitters...

That's a bit cheeky Ron - looks like an ad to me.

How about you write us an article on whether the words "investment" and "soul" can justly go together in the same sentence?

I'd be interested in that...
Can you say: "global local radio"?

Hold on, I'll just ask my technical support........



................Ruben, how do people get their clips to me?
