Why do some people have disposable income, but others don’t?
Conventional economics would probably say that this is largely due to a disparity of incomes. Those with higher incomes than what is required to cover their expenses in a given locality will have a higher disposable income than those on lower wages. But let’s say that we assume that we are assuming two households with […]

My Endorsement: Vote Green in the Euros
Although we’ve been hearing a lot about the Europe “in-out” debate in the last few weeks, we much less frequently hear about the political balance of Europe. The Green Party are within the fourth biggest parliamentary grouping in Europe. As hard-working and collaborative MEPs, Greens really do get results.

The full agenda (including motion texts) can be found here. I heard the Lord Mayor’s announcements and voted to agree the minutes of the last meeting. […]

Norwich Early Evening Events
I like Norwich’s outdoor events. I recently enjoyed activities put on as part of a programme of activities called ‘Head Out Not Home’ being coordinated by Norwich Business Improvement District (BID) to promote Norwich’s early evening economy.

Review: You are not a gadget
There are two things which seem to get criticised even more than the weather these days, and they are politics and computer technology. I’ll save political criticism for a later post, and today address the latter. It’s quite easy as a young person to be quick to defend the merits of IT. For someone who […]

Transition Computer Games
Ever since the Transition Conference, I’ve been meaning to write a post about it. Well, here’s one, and perhaps there will be more later! During open space on the Saturday afternoon of the Transition Network Conference, I was a bit of a butterfly and attended several sessions which caught my interest, without settling down for […]
