Train In Vain
“In business, if you realize you’ve made a bad decision, you change it”. That’s a quote from Richard Branson. This week he announced that his Virgin Group has invested in Hyperloop One. They’re a company that wants to bring Elon Musk’s magnetically-propelled high-speed transport system to life. A hyperloop is a pod that travels through […]

Let Your Freak Flag Fly!
If you want to succeed, you have to be a freak. Evolution happens because of freaks. When the environment changes, the herd is thinned and the only ones that survive are the mutants who are suited to the new environment. Survival of the fittest is really survival of the freaks. Elvis was a freak, so […]

Fruit Fly
You’ll be glad to know that my new computer finally arrived. It was only a day late but that’s not the point. They still haven’t been in touch to find out if it was actually delivered or not. They had me fill in an email survey the morning after it was supposed to be here […]
