Multitasking

Is actually both challenging and fun. My world is definitely better with a lot to do than nothing to do. I am just praying that the quality will be good in all that I do - and that people will enjoy working with me.


Today Simon has:

Listened to Big in Japan by Alphaville
Read, not really. I bought The Times - but I have yet to read it.
Noticed that the new morning gym routine is great!

Film Trailer of the Year

W. by Oliver Stone was released in theatres across the pond yesterday. The film's official website contains an amazing trailer. Will we ever understand him?

Today Simon has:

Listened to the pastor in church
Read The Sunday Times - it costs what it weighs (£2)
Noticed that he is not missing anything in his life

Today's Debate


Two years ago this was a silly question. Now it seems to be a perfectly valid one. By the way, the credit crisis seems to be a great opportunity for Cadbury to execute a great marketing plan in disguise - the Credit Crunchie.

A pretty good summary on the trouble with Swedish media. Available in English via Google, translation is automatic so some things won't make sense.

Great North Fun

12,057 people were faster than me. However, they still cannot take away the fact that I managed to beat my time from last year =). I finished my second Great North Run on 1h 58min 48sek.

My aim was to finish on or around 1h 45min. That obviously did not happen. I also learn that running becomes so much more unpleasant when you try to achieve a certain time. Next year I will have a more structured training and just do it for fun - and then the result hopefully will come by itself (is that English?).

Congratulations to all the charities which raised money. I pray it will all be used wisely to help people in need.

Tomorrow is a dissertation seminar. I am still slightly confused.

And Governor Sarah Palin does not play a fair game. Interesting to see whether the Senators Obama/Biden can stay focused when the Republican election winning machine gets going.

Obama/Biden are better for business according to the latest issue of the Economist. Get it if you are interested in American politics. Special feature in this issue.

I also pray that British Airways will change their short haul sandwich menu. Pretty tiring getting the same grub on intra-European flights as on UK domestic. Their new ad is class though.

Today Simon has:

Listened to the choir at Newcastle Cathedral.
Read about Apple's next move.
Noticed that he will try to run 'just for fun' next year.
