Hi there for the handful of people that visit my blog you may have noticed it redirecting to my portfolio rather then my blog. I thought this best while looking for jobs. But now I have one (starting Monday) I will continue my marxist ranting! Soon anyway, stay tuned!!!
Blog page views
Well for some reason my page views for my blog is going up which is rather nice. I was usually getting about 4 or 5 a day if that and now I’m getting 20 on a bad day and 80 on a good day which is nice. We are only ten days into May and has already almost taken over last month in page views. Not sure what I’m doing differently but I will keep on doing it…
I will have probably jinxed it now… 
I have become a little obsessed in recent months watching and reading all I can about the life extension movement, I suggest everyone do the same it’s fascinating reading, the idea of it and the science itself too! There a lot of people saying a wind ranging amount of things, Dr Aubrey de Grey seems the most interesting character in the movement, and most vocal with his unique style. I posted a lecture he did at TED which you can find by clicking here. Also click here for the SENS (Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence) homepage which gives lots of information about it, and ability to donate and get involved. Also click here to see the The Methuselah Foundation which is the other half of SENS with information and what they hope to achieve and what not. No one knows what the future holds but this research just seems so important to try. Some people say they think ‘what’s the point it probably won’t come to anything’. But that’s like saying of we probably won’t find a cure for Cancer, AIDs whatever, we don;t not pursue these things, because we want it to happen, it’s the same principal is it not? Curing cancer and AIDS is about preventing death, so exactly the same concept. I just don’t get some peoples problems with trying. The point isn’t to try and ‘live forever’ it’s about trying to have choice in how long you live rather then now which is little choice. Like I said who knows, but something this important must be worth trying!
Sometimes I worry my hearing will go for various reasons, mostly all those scare stories about headphones and such like. I came across this today on Neatorama which omitts a high pitch sound usually only heard by Under 25′s and I could hear it…which I should being 23, but it was still most fun! Give it a go yourself.

An old site now but I came across this again today in a friends facebook status. Basically you enter two words and then the words fight it out and which ever has more google search term hits wins the fight which is illtrated with a bit of flash stick fighting. Link.
As you can see, definitive proof that Socialism is better then Capitalism!
