Dad Enjoying his 2nd AFL Game in 40 Years!
Had a gr8 Halfway to Seventy Day yesterday, which was aptly spent watchin with The Father, the Dees perform a hell of alot better than last year, but unfortunately not havin enough left in the tank to compete in the last quarter.
Unfortunately 4 of those who couldnt come that might of had pretty fair and diverse excuses : One travelling the world; Another recovering from the 100km Oxfam walk, and another very tragically (still) in hospital with a broken eyesocket/cheekbone (our thoughts r with u) And finally it’s the last week of school term for one of my teaching brothers.. that was prob the weakest of excuses 
How Often Can You Say Price of Beer Goes Down : MCC Long Room Schooner #1 of The Year = $6 ! Down from $6.80!
What was very exciting in the game is the new islander and aboriginal boys playing for the once Establishment MelbourneFC. One of them speaks multiple languages of his tribe(s) but barely knows English. The Collingwood Coterie funded his initial move to Victoria, but the Pies didnt pick him up, so thx Eddie - Playaz like Neville Jetta yday r already having a major impact on the team.
Neville Jetta was gr8 yday-reading afl debriefs with cawfee in rye. Austin wasnt even playing when he kicks a goal it is electric. Dees certainly looked better and more disciplined than last year, but couldnt forward convert or last the game out. We'll give a few teams a go if we can kick goals and not do silly turnovers around the backline.
The day was nicely bookmarked with some Thai in Hastings that when they said it was very spicy, they really meant very fkn hawt, the chillis so dispersed into the dish that the riesling took on another whole taste and made me crave milk. But thats just how thai should be yeh; Spring Rolls + Fish Cakes to boot.
“TIME MAG PG 1 : But now everything really has changed. More than a year into the Great Recession, we still aren’t sure if there’s a bottom in sight, and six months after the financial system began imploding, it’s still iffy. The party is finally, definitely over. And the present decade, which we’ve never even agreed what to call — the 2000s? the aughts? — has acquired its permanent character as a historical pivot defined by the nightmares of 9/11 and the Panic of 2008-09. Those of us old enough to remember life before the 26-year-long spree began will probably spend the rest of our lives dealing with its consequences — in economics, foreign policy, culture, politics, the warp and woof of our daily lives. During the ’80s and ’90s, we were Wile E. Coyote racing heedlessly across the endless American landscape at maximum speed and then spent the beginning of the 21st century suspended in midair just past the end of the cliff; gravity reasserted itself, and we plummeted.”

“TIME MAG PG 2 : Our great national rehab won’t be easy. But it wasn’t only in olden times that Americans have coped with breathtaking flux and successfully undertaken dramatic change. In fact, we’ve just done it. During the era recently ended, we adapted to hundreds of TV channels and multiple phone companies and airlines that arise and disappear as fast as strip-mall stores. Women have come close to achieving real equality; being gay has become astoundingly public and unremarkable. And speaking of shaking off addictions, half again as many of us smoked cigarettes in the early ’80s. We watched (and helped) the Soviet Union and its European empire collapse and watched (and helped) China change from a backward, dangerous Orwellian nation into a booming, much less Orwellian member of the global order. During just the past 15 years, we’ve managed to reduce murders in New York City by two-thirds; grown accustomed to the weird transparency and instant connectedness of the new digital world; sequenced the human genome; and inaugurated a black President. That’s change.”

“TIME MAG PG 3 : Although certain self-parodying epiphenomena of the Age of Profligacy — so long, Paris Hilton! — are about to disappear, fun will endure. Hollywood is doing fantastic box-office business, thanks to insanely unserious movies like Paul Blart: Mall Cop and Madea Goes to Jail. The Colbert Report has been a special haven of sanity amid the sky-is-falling hysteria. And again, history is encouraging in this regard: Saturday Night Live and modern comedy were born during the malaise-y ’70s, just as wit and humor — the New Yorker, the Marx Brothers, screwball comedy — flourished in the ’30s. I’m even hopeful that the meltdown and resulting reset might jar the culture in deeper ways. For three decades, too much of art and design and entertainment has seemed caught in a cul-de-sac, almost compulsively reviving styles and remixing the greatest hits of the past. (Think: post-Modern architecture, pop music based on sampling, ’60s-style shift dresses, pseudo-midcentury home décor.) Since we’re now finished with a 25- or 30-year-long era in both politics and economics, maybe a new cultural epoch will emerge as well. Maybe more of the next big things will be actually, thrillingly new.“

Umair in Harvard Business School : “Welcome to Looting 2.0. What does that financial system look like? In it, everything is a hedge fund. The Geithner economy is Milton Friedman’s revenge from beyond the grave: it is one that puts the allocation of public resources in a very small number of almost totally hidden private hands. The Geithnerconomy is a kind of financial Frankenstein: run by hedge funds, leveraged by the public, whose interests overlap by only 20%. The problem of toxic incentives hasn’t gone away: in fact, the Geithner plan institutionalizes and explodes it, like a biological weapon infecting an entire country.“

“TIME MAG PG 4 : “The next new America that hatches will not be some bizarro world opposite of everything that came just before. History proceeds dialectically. The New Deal era ended, but its basic social and economic underpinnings have endured. Notwithstanding the backlash against the 1960s, the changes born of that decade’s sharp left turn — civil rights, feminism, gay rights, environmentalism, sex, drugs, rock ‘n’ roll — became part of the American way of life. In the same way, even as we now rediscover the need for sensible regulation and systemic fairness, the fundamentally good lessons of the Reagan age — entrepreneurialism mostly unbound, proud Americanism — will endure. The babies will not be thrown out with the bathwater.. We are in a state of shock. In a matter of months, half the value of the stock market and more than half of Wall Street’s corporate pillars have disappeared, along with several million jobs. Venerable corporate enterprises are teetering. But as we gasp in terror at our half glass of water, we really can — must — come to see it as half full as well as half empty. Now that we’re accustomed to the unthinkable suddenly becoming not just thinkable but actual, we ought to be able to think the unthinkable on the upside, as America plots its reconstruction and reinvention.”
“.. And sadly, it may well come to that. VC has not proven that it can scale as an asset class since the mid 90s. The vast amount of money that has come into the sector from public pension funds in the past fifteen to twenty years has not been put to work very well and returns for the asset class as a whole have come down.”

Mark Cuban’s NBA Twitter Bill: $510 a word via Hacker News
Peter Kafka All Things Digital : “The latest: A $25,000 bill from the league for two messages, totaling 49 words, that he posted via Twitter on Friday night. Both tweets complained about the officiating in that night’s Mavericks-Denver Nuggets game. Cuban has had a Cuban’s response? This
tweet, posted Sunday afternoon: “just found out got fined25k by nba.) nice”. And then, upon further reflection, he penned this beauty:
Cuban is now wondering aloud, via Twitter (of course) and his blog, whether his tweets ought to be considered copyrighted — that is, whether blogs and other publications need his permission to reproduce the stuff he posts. I don’t think so, obviously.“
