Simplification
I have too much shit. The sheer volume of material goods that take up space in my room makes the concept of moving at some point an exercise in inducing anxiety.
I am going to break it down into sections and tie up some loose ends. I think I am going to start with my reading list, which is a cluster-fuck at present.

iPhone Virus? Awesome →
So word is that there is an iPhone virus in the works and it is set to be released at a security convention.
Start clock on iPhone update to be released by Apple. Let’s see how fast Apple intends to patch security issues with the phone. I am very curious though not half as curious as enterprises that are using the phone I am sure.

The Associated Press: British government tells... →
I think this is a rather brilliant use of a free utility for the purpose of making government more transparent. Personally I think there are some closet Twittershitters in Parliament.
The document tells civil servants their tweets should be “human and credible” and written in “informal spoken English.” It advises government departments to produce between two and 10 tweets a...

I Didn't Expect Him To Speak English
I have been following Starving African Child on Twitter for about 2 weeks and as a Catholic, I can affirm that it satisfies 15% of my RDA for guilt.
Consequently, I picked up a (red)Starbucks Card to fill up for the next few weeks. My daily coffee intake will now support some people that need medicine.
