Dozens dead in Yemen fuel riots. At least 36 people die across Yemen in two days of unrest sparked by fuel price rises, say police and witnesses. [BBC News | News Front Page | UK Edition] Sounds familiar? This happened in Venezuela (with a lot more dead, 16 years ago) and I bet it will happen again. Oil is so cheap and expensive at the same time. Arbitrage opportunities like that get closed violently when they are so huge.But this is the fight for the past. We should make oil useless before it kills more people.

Wittgenstein was a neighbour
Ludwig Wittgenstein, the man who said "Someone who knows too much finds it hard not to lie" and "The limits of my language are the limits of my mind. All I know is what I have words for", lived in Newcastle, not only that he actually lived in a house at Brandling Park! the same street where we are living now! Here is the house where he lived
A plaque was placed there in 2002. Stefania says I should work up the courage to ask to be allowed inside read and photograph the plaque. I doubt I will...

Make Poverty History
While the ignorant savages living in obscurantism put bombs to kill the innocent, others are doing what they can to push the human race forward.
(The picture taken with my Nokia 7610 is a little blurry, but the sign over St. Thomas Church, in the center of Newcastle, says Make Poverty History.)

To London...
(come on children, mind the gap)
Miracle people with marvelous hair
and a knack to do anything
better than anyone
I got a home with electrical air
and I live in a world
smaller than any one
I got a line on a new frontier
I got a line on a new America
All of the people are vanishing here
I could be huge if I could just get from
the outside of everything
to the inside of you
from the outside of everything
to the inside of you
Purest Aluminum people
are walking the streets of London
So hysterical
Nobody here gets a word that I say
and the problems I'm told,
are more than medical
I got a friend from the new frontier
And Galen, she says,
"this is not america"
You need a girl with electrical hair
And the word that you wanted was al-u-mi-ni-um
From the outside of everything
To the inside of you
From the outside of everything
To the inside
I was in bed with
The girl at the end of the world
She says I'm goin home
And you should come home too
I'm at the end of a new frontier
here at the edge of the flat earth ending
I'm getting off to get lost in the air
At the end of the world where the light is bending
From the outside of everything to the inside of you
To the inside of you
