During my time off in December I acquired a cheap airbrush, some acrylic paint, 3 canvases and a can of air. I used them to create a triptych. My putting has improved a lot recently. Some of this is due to my new Nike Method 001 putter: it makes long putts behave like scaled-up short putts, making it a lot easier to get line and length right in the 10ft+ range. Last year, when I had persuaded my lovely wife Cerys to give golf a go and she found she liked it, we went to our local Nevada Bob’s to get here the essentials: a putter and a seven iron. When she’d had a few lessons and was ready to use some more clubs we got her a beginner’s set made by Wilson from a local pro shop. Hopefully this is the final equipment update for a good long while; while there will always be clubs in the bag which are worse and better than others, there is now nothing in mine which is bad in the absolute sense. Continue reading Golf Update 3 I realise that in today’s hectic world many of you feel that you don’t have time to read the full content of the posts on this blog. To address this, I have created a parallel site run by tumblr at: http://tldr.nomzit.com/. Continue reading Parallel blogging Following up on my previous report; I have changed some of my clubs.

It allows me to honestly vote for my preference without fear about getting a candidate I don’t want. If I vote green at the moment, it’s a wasted vote because I live in a blue/yellow marginal constituency. So I vote blue because I’d rather have them than yellow. A major problem is that if there are a lot of people like me in this constituency we will perpetuate this problem, whereas perhaps if we all knew about each other we could all vote green and not worry that whichever we think the wrong one of the yellows or blues will get in. AV solves this problem. It does not create a proportional system. It does not give anyone more votes than anyone else. It allows honest voting, and that’s about it. If you ever voted for someone who wasn’t your favourite to stop someone else getting in, and this made you feel uncomfortable, you should vote Yes on Thursday. If you never have, but the thought of it makes you feel uncomfortable, you should vote Yes on Thursday because you could find yourself in that situation in a future election. I’ll get to the point quickly: they are not cars. My company has just launched an iPhone app which finds pictures for your address-book contacts. This brings the benefits of my popular OS X Address Book plugin to those who don’t have a Mac. For the impatient, it’s available now in the iTunes store.

As such I have seen two sides of the UK’s taxation system. In this post I will discuss two extreme taxation schemes and their advantages and disadvantages. The current scheme has the advantage of incumbency, but no others that I can see. |
