I recently played Jak 3 (I haven’t for ages). It’s a great game, but I’ve noticed a problem.
You get these Light and Dark Eco Powers, so you can grow wings and fly, regenerate health and have a forcefield, and even slow down time, before turning into a dark monster and beating the hell out of people.
This should make you feel all powerful, but it doesn’t. The guns don’t seem to make up for it either, or the jetboard, or the massive range of vehicles at your disposal.
You probably don’t get to feel like some kind of super hero or god until you’ve unlocked the invisibility and invulnerability secrets, which requires loads and loads of precursor orbs. Oh Well.

Yes, he is no longer a single man. He is fiance-d to longtime girlfriend Ayda Field. Read all about it here.

Today’s suggestion is about doing something about the many children throughout the world that receive no education or very limited education. This can be especially true of many girls in some countries and seems to be more so in some strict Islamic communities and regions.

It is difficult to know just what can be done in this field by the ‘average Joe,’ so to speak. Whereas individuals may not be able to do a lot personally, they may be able to contribute by being part of a larger organisation that is able to bring pressure to bear on governments around the world.

It is also possible to be part of a humanitarian organisation that seeks to assist people to receive education and/or by donating money to such a group.

For some ideas on this particular suggestion have a look at:

more about “Backcountry trek to study Rocky Mount…“, posted with vodpod

At the risk of sounding arrogant, I have to say that I have one of the coolest jobs in the world. I work as the science writer for CIRES, the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences. My job doesn’t stop at writing about science. Being a photographer and multimedia producer play equal parts.

In this instance, I got to hit the trail with Jimmy McCutchan and Tommy Detmer, a couple of CIRES scientists studying the effects of fish introductions on formerly fishless lakes of Rocky Mountain National Park. Fish were introduced to support fly fishing from the 1800s until the 1960s. Now the National Park Service is working with CIRES to find out what’s happened to those lakes, knowledge that may help guide future management.

Their study also isn’t a bad way to work a little fly fishing into your science.

You can learn more about CIRES science at cires.colorado.edu, or check out the CIRESvideos channel on YouTube.com.

Joanna Geary - The Times Something Something Something

Last week we had a talk from twentysomething Times “Web Development Editor” (yup, she says it’s a made-up title too) Joanna Geary.

The motto which skyrocketed her into her dream job, through failing to get onto several courses and eventually becoming a web-savvy Birmingham business hack who had to reapply for her own job, is this: If you don’t know, ask someone who does.

I prefer the wording on her own website – If content is King, collaboration is Queen. But it’s all the same thing, and it’s a theory she really put to the test on the Birmingham Post.

What she did was set up a network of 35 blogs from experts around the city – university professors to sportsmen – on every topic under the sun. All working for free. Her job as a journalist was, in a more pure way than ever, merely to organise the news, not to make it.

And that was in the days before blogs really broke news! Since Freedom of Information became well-known among non-media types, bloggers and sites like Help Me Investigate – again in Brum, they’re really hot on this stuff – have been… Queen. To us Kings, apparently.

And just when I was thinking about this then sure enough, one popped up in my back home back yard – the Ashford Resistance. Follow them on Twitter. While it looks like a bunch of Marxists have just discovered the net (because that’s exactly what’s happened) it’s not just ranting and raving.

In fact, with investigative posts like this and a controversial patch to work in:

• former Times news editor and Tory MP / Shadow Immigration Minister Damian Green voted even against his party on gay rights and was briefly famous last year when his office got searched
• and my village, Wye, nearly quintupled in size when council leader Paul Clokie signed a secret ‘concordat’ allowing Imperial College to destroy a vast greenfield site and which was defeated by an internet campaign AND made into a book

… they could be on to something. Watch that space. And breathe after reading that sentence.

But there’s another reason to get on board the blogwagon, too. In these tough times, my notes from the end of Joanna’s lecture say it all.
