junk dna, and bernard lietaer on money, community and social change (Aug 15 2003 06:58 GMT) - Quinn told me two years ago that the basic problem with the global economy was that the idea of money was broken. Around the same time she announced that junk DNA had to have some sort of function, despite what current theories indicated. I humour Quinn on these and other theories, as long as she doesn't talk so loudly that the geneticists and economics professors at the next table hear her speak that way. Today I discover that a) some scientists are coming to the same conclusion about junk DNA, and b) the guy who co-designed and implemented the convergence mechanism for the Euro, and co-founded one of the largest and most successful currency funds, Bernard Lietaer, agrees with her about money. I can only conclude that those bastards were scribbling notes on their napkins all along. |

I think this is it (Aug 15 2003 06:56 GMT) - Those who read this site (or just those who dig through my archives) will know I've been trying to get a cell phone for about a year now. I hardly ever need to talk on a phone, so I've been trying to find a phone that will let me do data. I think I would certainly use data if I had it - particularly if I could synch it with my PowerBook through Bluetooth and have a modem with me at any time. The thing is, all of those cutting edge phones get panned by critics. The sidekick, the Sony... |
