zen bones...

Steve Mathew's Blog

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.

Africa will soon be awash with bandwidth
Take a look at the thickness of the lines. The thin black line is the SAT3 undersea cable that South Africa has been reliant on for years. See how it’s dwarfed by the capacity of the new cables. Nice, nice, nice.
I have always maintained, that there are 3 things in life that there’s never enough of (or said another way - you’ll use all you get): money, parmesan cheese and bandwidth.
The WACS cable makes the funky new Seacom cable look skinny! Bring it on.

US Consumer Expenditure over the last 100 Years
I am amazed how food costs (relative to income) have halved but transportation costs have exploded! Clothing costs have shrunk too - probably largely to cheap labour from the east. Even things like health care are down. It’s all rather intriguing.
