Blogpoets…the purpose of life…on OneWebDay…

…Sonia is back and asking what it’s all about. I’ve been wondering that this week. The life support machine that was keeping a friend at a temperature of 34 degrees was turned off yesterday. The damage to the brain was too severe and so the decision was made to terminate treatment. She leaves behind a 12 year old son. I wish him strength and the best future life can offer and hope that he copes with the shock and sadness as best he can. This week has seen Exxon being criticised by the Royal Society for distorting the facts about our life support system, Planet Earth. Today Sir Richard Branson has announced that he will be donating the profits of Virgin to research into renewable energy sources. I knew Richard once back in the sixties before he set up Virgin Records in Oxford Street. Nice to see he’s finally doing something useful. Today is OneWebDay so here’s a big thank you to Tim Berners Lee who invented the World Wide Web. The web has changed my life and turned me into a blogging nerd, which is cool as I don’t bore my friends quite so much with my rants. I bore the blogosphere instead. The Bobster has just written the mother of all 500th blog postings. Congrats, Bob and keep ’em coming! Ceri is still up in the mountains of Spain and I’m thinking maybe it’s time to join her. Once I settle my affairs in the world’s largest open psychiatric clinic, Amsterdam, I’ll be putting on my walking boots too and doing a tour of Europe’s internet cafes. I hope to leave at the latest before all the ice melts in Greenland and this place is under water.
