  1. @BonnieOWong Thanks, Bonnie! And sorry I've been so poor at keeping in touch. Let's talk on Skype soon. @kiwipaul Delighted to meet you!
  2. He was known, upon listening intently to a long theoretical expositn from a grad student, to respond w a concise “meow” bit.ly/LcnM2D
  3. @tmstapf How would you define the challenges? (Based on experience of @everythingHQ, I certainly agree they're there.)
  4. Also now on the #collapsonomics blog, "The Measurable & the Unmeasurable" - my talk from Aston Business School - bit.ly/L1Uu73
  5. "Grey goo, life-support systems & the unsurprising taxation of labour" - as promised, a reply to @jobucks - bit.ly/KadrbJ
  6. @jobucks Do you want to just go off and untwist your knickers, while I write this blog post in reply to your more serious question?
  7. @jobucks Well, if you want to understand my broader views, there's a lot of my writing, talks and projects out there on the internet.
  8. @jobucks Hang on one cotton-pickin' moment - I only quoted it to clarify *your* reference to it! Dearie me...
  9. @jobucks On where I got "parents", by the way - that was the quote the Guardian led with from their original interview with Lagarde.
  10. @jobucks Too long an answer for 140chars - but I'll reply on the #collapsonomics blog shortly.
  11. Rather amused to see people favouriting my exasperated response to @jobucks - seems I'm not the only one who's had the experience.
  12. @jobucks And, btw, I'm unsurprised *because* I've spent years thinking and writing about the relationships underlying these systems.
  13. @monkchips @dominiccampbell Heh! :-)
  14. @jobucks Has anyone pointed out that you have an extraordinarily rude and arrogant style of argument?
  15. @dominiccampbell I am indeed - though it's fair to say I keep it well-hidden... :-)
  16. @jobucks I'm not sure I find it odd, so much as utterly unsurprising - which may be a clue to the difference between our perspectives?
  17. @dominiccampbell Sounds like Darlo hasn't got any classier since I left, then! ;-)
  18. @jobucks So when Lagarde said "parents have to pay their tax" she meant "businesses" or "employers"? Seems an odd reading of her remarks.
