Lloyd Cole & The Leopards #FT
Lloyd Cole & The Leopards #FT The Sage - Tuesday 28th January Really enjoyed it last night. Great venue & a good audience, strong set weaving the old(er) & new(er) together with a mix of the better & the less well known. The band with 3 guitars, drums/bass/keys were able to do justice to the material with faithful yet interesting arrangements of songs (at no point dÃd it sound like a tribute act) and it was a great showcase for just how well written/crafted LC's songs are. Lloyd was charmingly understated in his between song chat, warming up as the night progressed & I think as we showed our appreciation eg "You're not getting any younger, either". I was also impressed (maybe it's just 'his job' , but still) how he remembered all the lyrics with no notes! Strong vocal performance too. Many of the songs I hoped for (eg 'No Blue Skies', Like Lovers Do', Myrtle & Rose') amongst the more obvious/expected ones. Would have...

LEO MESSI: RECOVERY TIMELINE
LEO MESSI: RECOVERY TIMELINE Leo Messi was declared fully fit on Tuesday, and is available for selection by Gerardo Martino for the cup game with Getafe. 58 days have passed since he was injured at the Benito VillamarÃn. Here we look back at what has happened since to the greatest player in the world: November 10. In the 19th minute he injures himself against Betis and has to be substituted. Up to this point, he had scored 14 goals in 16 official matches. November 11. Tests confirm that he had torn a hamstring muscle and would be out for 6 to 8 weeks. November 12. Messi used Facebook to speak to the fans and say “Thank you to you all for being by my side through these difficult times". November 17. In an interview with Argentinian paper ‘Olé’ he said that "the injury was accident ... The plan is for me to play again when my body tells me it can”. November 20. Three days later, when he is presented with the Golden Boot, he is pleased to comment that "I can hardly feel any...

I read Brad Stone's history of Amazon, The Everything Store, over the holidays, and recommend it highly. To be sure, it is incomplete and doubtless has many inaccuracies, but it gives insight into the mind of a remarkable man and the company he has built - a company with profound influence on the present and future shape of our society.

To be sure, it is incomplete and doubtless has many inaccuracies, but it gives insight into the mind of a remarkable man and the company he has built - a company with profound influence on the present and future shape of our society. I had heard scuttlebutt that the book was hostile to Amazon. I didn't find that to be the case at all. In fact, it increased my admiration for Jeff and what he and his team have accomplished. After Steve Jobs died, everyone was saying "Will we ever see his like again?" I would always respond, "What do you mean? He's already here, and his name is Jeff Bezos. He's the only other tech entrepreneur I know who has transformed multiple industries, and shown the ability to work his magic not once but many times. He's been the misunderstood underdog who came out on top because of vision, passion, and persistence."...

Techbrats Goldberg, Shih & Gopman do not represent the tech industry Well said by Jason Calacanis "...all three...should be thankful they were born in a time when the ability to write code and understand technology was so absurdly rewarded... In another age, say one where the ability to use a sword was the most in demand skill, these specimens wouldn't have had the resolve to make it out of adolescence alive." http://pando.com/2014/01/05/techbrats-goldberg-shih-and-gopman-do-not-represent-the-tech-industry/

Sobering thoughts on New Year's Day. #FT #Economy
Sobering thoughts on New Year's Day. #FT #Economy You can't really summarise in a few paragraphs the state of our economy & the reasons why we are collectively less wealthy now than several years ago, but this is a pretty good attempt. Read the whole article (it's not long, debate/informed criticism welcomed ) but here's a good quote: "The crash of the mortgage racket occurred not just because of swindling and fraud among bankers; in fact, that was only a nasty symptom of something larger: peak oil. I know that many people have come to disbelieve in the idea of peak oil, but that is only another mode of playing pretend. Peak oil, which essentially arrived in 2006, undermined the basic conditions of credit creation in an advanced techno-industrial society dependent on increasing supplies of fossil fuels. Most people, including practically all credentialed economists, fail to understand this. There is a fundamental relationship between ever-increasing energy supp...
