His progress through life was hampered by his tremendous sense of his own ignorance, a disability which affects all too few people
Terry Pratchett
Normally I put the entire title in the subject line – including any subtitle – but this time the subtitle is just a tad long
New research uncovers the story of two extraordinary financial mysteries, massive investor losses, and a brilliantly straightforward blueprint to achieve huge profits from investment funds
After a Rebus binge it is time for a ‘serious’ book – a return to non-fiction and the excellent Dan Goleman. Looking forward to exploring the “realities” of meditation and popular branches of that like mindfulness.
Can I just start this by saying that nowhere in this post will you find a definitive and precise answer to the question posed in the title. The poor spiders are chosen for investigation not because they are particularly relevant, nor because they have a great and mysterious purpose, but rather because there is one that has been web building outside our kitchen window for weeks and every time I do the washing up I am staring at it!!
Continuing the Rebus story – decided to work through the remaining novels
First book after a long gap – fascinating it was too. It considered various options for the future as Artificial Intelligence is developed to what many see as its inevitable conclusion. Will probably blog on this subject, but the idea that in the same way as we now see great improvements in things like artificial limbs we could also see in artificial brains is – to say the least – interesting – as well as weird/concerning/worrying/downright scary in some respects.
Just a couple of days here at the end of the trip before flying home. This was the third time I have visited the Twin Cities – not many photos taken this time.
An unusual opportunity to sit by the window meant that I got to take more than the usual number of pictures during our flights. I was particularly impressed with Greenland.
Whilst staying in Monterey we took a trip down Highway 1 to visit Big Sur.
The Aquarium in Monterey is a huge attraction at the end of Cannery Row.
