50 years ago yesterday, March 30th 1974, the Ramones played their first ever concert to 30 friends in a studio on East 20th Street New York.
This was a tribute concert last night to mark that 60 year anniversary. 3 bands all doing Ramones covers.
No Matter are a great local punky-pop group. I loved how they did the Ramones covers.

Today (23rd April) is "World Book Day" according to UNESCO. First "celebrated" in 1995.
Apparently Britain and Ireland have it on the first Thursday in March as after all the 23rd April is England's patron saint of St George day.
Here is my entry for this event. A collage of the before and after shots. A bread making book that I have just finished repairing for my wife's piano teacher. It was so well used that the back board and spine had come off and the front board was also about to do the same.
As seen at the Lipizzaner show at the Intel Core i7 Launch in Johannesburg, South Africa.

These ones were shot with CAnon 5D and Pentax 55mm SMC takumar which was attached to the Canon with an Adapter. The 55mm now focuses up to 20cm with a fantastic Bokeh, still apperture seems to be fixed at its maximum...
Cameras are CAnon A1 and Pentax 67. The A1 with a Paragon 28mm the Pentax 67 with the ¨small lense¨, the 105, the 55mm is just massive!

No matter what we do in life we have good memories and bad memories that help mold us into the person we are. In this photograph, I wanted to pay tribute to my friend, Lou Schierbeck, as a token of my thanks and appreciation of him for serving our country.

Economics As If Survival Mattered. John Michael Greer takes on economics, a subject in desperate need of his characteristic, level-headed analysis. The usual growth oriented fantastical notions that have plagued the subject over the last half century were in particular need of such cool headed dispatching. Greer starts with the fallacy of the law of supply and demand by handily pointing out that you cannot demand what is simply not there. Uh duh. Our economic system does not inventory the depletion of natural resources and just keeps on assuming that its existence is a given.
In addition, Greer gives us language to explain how the science of economics got so full of itself that it thought it could create its own reality. He divides up the economy into three parts. There's the Primary which encompasses all the planet's natural resources and services, the Secondary which includes the goods made by humans from these resources and the Tertiary which refers to the financial sector. It is this last category that has come to dominate, spinning a web of ever more complex derivative products that have promised the world an endless possibility of wealth pulled from thin air. That is to say, it is based on the promises of wealth from tomorrow's production from resources that likely will not even be there.
Ancient Rome was in much the same financial straights using a debt driven economy that ran aground once actual resources were unable to keep up with demand. In fact it was because of Rome's financial shenanigans that the Christians came up with the part about usury being a sin. I've always wondered why that was so important to the Christians (and Muslims and Jews). In the epoch following the Roman empire, people went back to a life without loans and a lifestyle that didn't revolve around money. Peasants survived on the land they farmed using barter and embraced a feudal lord who offered them protection in exchange for a part of their crops. This was the Middle Ages.
So forget a retirement which is just another construct of the industrial age. Greer is convinced that we are in the twilight of the age of investment. The growth economy simply isn't going to grow anymore to bring in a return. The promise that invested money will outperform the faltering economy of goods and services is simply a publicly accepted fantasy, a faith based system.
Greer ferrets out the last assumption of our flawed economic system, the one my financial advisor holds dear, and that is that the discovery of new technology and new sources of energy will bring back the economy we assume is our birthright. Not going to happen. The energy required to pull this last rabbit out of the hat will be more than the energy we can gain from such efforts Greer says, because there is no resource as dense or as easily brought to market as fossil fuels have been. Same goes for the chimera of a perpetual motion machine because of the law of thermodynamics. Reading his argument makes me feel like a butterfly pinned to a board.
He does have a series of recommendations involving the tax structure and the regulation of corporate activity. I especially like his suggestion that we take corporate personhood to its logical end and serve corporations the death penalty for murder when appropriate. But it is his advice that we follow E.F. Schumacher's small-is-beautiful principle that is the motivating factor for me because it gives me and all the other home tinkerers something to do. Officially termed the Principle of Subsidiary Function this principle puts forth that we use only as much energy as necessary from as local a source as possible to get a job done.
We, who make ourselves intimately acquainted with the amount of energy we need to house and feed ourselves (and provide hot showers and cold beer), are in a far better position to determine what changes we are willing to cultivate in order to insure a palatable future on a diminished energy budget. Because, as Greer points out, the larger economy is only interested in figuring out how to keep the existing system going and this will inevitably lead to collapse of these multi-layered complex systems. Turning away from complexity and investing in far simpler ways of providing for our needs is the solution Greer affords us. Judging from the number of books that blend emergency prep with ongoing sustainable, off-grid living practices, he is not alone in this plan. But rather than rest with the disaster scenario, Greer offers a satisfying exposé of the delusions that have brought us to this disaster prone existence. It is a less anxiety producing approach to know that we must move away from the delusions rather than just be prepared to weather the breakdowns.
Here at id-iom there's nowt we like more than a tight deadline. It means we are forced to focus which means there's less time for messing around on our behalf and also it tends to mean we're left to our own devices a little more than if there's plenty of time and every little thing has to be approved by about 20 people - which is always frustrating. Here we had a couple of days to produce 9 canvases with certain quotes on and a bigger piece on wood of a hand holding a glass of wine for a booze based event. Given the time frame and what we had to work with I was quite pleased with the end result.
On a more serious note wine is actually on our banned substance list. It doesn't sit well with the id-iom boys. Just so you know for future reference...
Cheers

At least to a four year old. Ethan had just watched his younger sister unwrap a large gift, a toy horse. Then his grandfather handed him a small package. He kept looking at the size of the gift in his hand and the one Anna had opened. He sighed and the opened his and was delighted with his gift and the size no longer mattered,
