Once again I have to apologise for my slackness in posting to my blog. My writing efforts have been recently redirected to other projects and the poor old blog has suffered as a consequence.
In lieu of new blog articles I’ve decided to at least keep the blog active by posting links to interesting news articles that might otherwise slip under the radars of most people. I get the feeling that some very interesting times are ahead with an imminent economic downturn and a looming US election. Rather than editorialising about my views and predictions I’ll leave it up to you to put the pieces together.
Enjoy:
While the world is watching the gold medals being given out in Beijing there is actually other stuff happening around the world.
There’s this report from the news.com.au:

But then there’s this from Russian news:

But what’s really going on I wonder?:

Then, to really get the brain going there’s this. It isn’t a news article but rather, an interesting observation by a gamer. Curiouser and curiouser.

Of course it wouldn’t be the first time an event was pre-empted by writers:

Strange days indeed.

You're lucky you posted buddy. I was just hovering over the unsubscribe button a few days ago.
Remember this; nothing in your life could be more important than entertaining us.
Got it?
Good.
You seem a little cynical, Gav. What, no belief in serendipity? Maybe it's a coincidence that there's an oil pipeline there. Maybe the US is just being a thoughtful and concerned global bully, oops, citizen.
Thanks for your comments. Nice to know someone out there misses me when I don't write.
I will endeavour to be a better blogger for you.
