Hello Dear One.
Dear with profound respect and humble submission submission…
Say what?
Let’s just say, Mr “Micheal” Odum, you first need to learn how to spell your name. Then perhaps let’s revert to your option 2: “Can I completely trust you?”
Give me strength.

It’s 2011 - how come I’m still getting emails like this?
Dear spammer folks, it’s not 1998 any more. Surely no-one ever replies to these? Or do they?

In order to do my SARS tax efiling I needed the Adobe Reader installed.
Up till now I have managed without it due to Google Chrome having a built in PDF reader as well as having the Mac OSX default PDF viewer. SARS is using some specific PDF form-filing functionality which I guess only Adobe supports.
So, no problem I think, I just quickly download and install Reader from Adobe. Not. 415megs of app. What? To render PDF files? Have they gone mad? No wonder Steve Jobs got fed up with Adobe and dumped Flash. 415megs!

Fact Sheet – Cell Phones, Wi-Fi and Portable Electronics on Airplanes

I’ve been saying this for 10 years. It’s crazy that airlines still dish out such claptrap about “important safety regulations on this aircraft prohibit use of mobile phones and certain electronic devices” blah blah blah. It’s just nonsense.

Mobile phones, iPads and similar gadgets now have “flight mode” which switches off wifi and 3G, but no, airlines still insist that this “mode” is still dangerous. Rubbish.

On every single flight there must be at least 5% to 10% of phones left switched on in error (or simple disobedience). If mobile phones truly caused problems then planes would be fallin out of the sky daily.

Get over it airlines. It’s a myth.

zen bones...

Steve Mathew's Blog

Steve avatar

Follow @SteveMathew

OK, so why the zen bones thing?

About 20 years ago I stumbled upon a book called "Zen Flesh, Zen Bones". Being vegetarian - the "flesh" bit didn't grab me, but the short pithy Zen stories inside it, did.

Ever since then my web nick has been zenbones, my Hotmail, my Gmail address, you name it. It's kinda stuck.

Is the blog about Zen? Nope.
