Dedicated to Purging Closed Minds and Managerialism From the Face of the Planet. The Quaintly Archaic Realm of Pointless Professors: A Case Study. Of course, when you are paying tuition fees (deferred or otherwise) the aim of the game when doing an undergraduate degree at a university is to pass all your courses and gain the intended qualification. What is the point otherwise? And these days, all undergraduates pay tuition fees (of one sort or another). Now that I was on the teaching side of things, I re...

Dedicated to Purging Closed Minds and Managerialism From the Face of the Planet. Adventures with a Manic Managerialist. The Quaintly Archaic Realm of Pointless Professors: A Case Study →. What’s the Business Model for Next-Gen Record Stores? Now all we’ll have left in this town (Armidale, New South Wales) are two mega chain purveyors or mattresses, Home-Threatre-in-a-Box, hair dryers and digicams for the purposefully undiscerning, without the bit up the back selling Hi-Fi gear. Which is for sale. Over th...

Dedicated to Purging Closed Minds and Managerialism From the Face of the Planet. Newer posts →. Any who saw the fist film in the Matrix trilogy series would no doubt remember that great ‘moment’ when human kind has been reduced to the status of bio-batteries to power the mad world of the robots-in-charge. Everything we think we see, feel, and know is an implanted delusion. What’s the one thing that you can never leave behind (and thereby reducing your prospects for a really good time)? Of course. You...

Dedicated to Purging Closed Minds and Managerialism From the Face of the Planet. Martyrs to the Religion of the Market Place. Facing the Crisis →. A Very Necessary Revolution. A bandaid policy is what it has become. So much so that you really have to wonder at what madam Prime Minister’s actual intentions might be. Right now, that great fundamental bulldozer of human-caused climate change, the coal industry, is making a case for its exemption from the tax! The sheer unmitigated gall of that pox of an ind...

Thursday, September 27, 2007. Wet, Wet, WET! It's my 4th attempt biking to work, 1st using a road bike. the previous attempts were on my good old trusted KHS. Distance: 28.15 km.

"were you caught in the rain? What did you do when it rained? You've got a raincoat? My reply seemed to surprise them. "just continue to cycle" i said.

Sunday, November 9, 2008. A leisurely walk on a Sunday afternoon through Matikere painted yet another shade of this vibrant city. Families, some as big as 7, lived behind those wooden doors. In their little enclosure, a tiny 4-walled space no bigger than the bathrooms belonging to some of the houses in the neighbouring estate, they carry out their daily activities. Distinct is the disparity between the rich and poor. Saturday, November 8, 2008. It has been a lousy week. Failed experiments. NMR showed...

Sunday, April 6, 2008. 4 hours apart, 2 first aid cases, 1 first aider. It was a friday evening and it was to be an eventful one. there was my company's first ice skating event earlier in the evening, and there was the 55km overnight training later in the night. in both events, i had the opportunity to apply my first aid knowledge. Colleagues brought him jackets to place under his leg for insulation from the ice and he took it off. "that won't work", he said. a few others got some plastic sheets ...SM di...

Moments...: December 2008

Sunday, December 28, 2008. The last two months zoomed by, fast and furious, as I shuffled between OC and MBU, carrying out experiments from milligrams in one lab to micrograms scale in the other. Experiments after experiments, workups after workups, columns after columns. The cycle gets repeated every other day in OC: set up new experiment, quench and workup, purification, isolation and characterization of product. Once again, I had to start from ground zero in MBU. Instead of round bottomed flasks, ...
