morning!

lovely day. hardly feels like i’ve had ella for any time at all in the last 12 hrs but i picked her up and as soon as she was her i’ve dropped her back again – she does have a 1pm birthday party however.

me and sam spoke briefly about having bella for one day in the middle of the week as well. it’s something that i’ve been wanting to do for a while but it really depending on transport.

chcland throw me a curve ball by suggesting that i get a vm transporter t2 instead of an iq or smart car. after much consideration (ie. about 12 hrs) i’m on the fence about which to go for.

the camper van would be a perfect backup incase anything goes weird in the ark or we want to get away for the weekend to the beach or something – it’s pretty darn slow however.

so… back to the point of this dead time blogpost i heard yesterday that an occupy nottingham style event was happening in the market square today. i’ll be wandering around that area to see if anyone turns up – i heard it was a worldwide ‘occupy’ day but i’m not sure how well that works if people only do it for today/tomorrow.

to be fair i think they need to be a lot more clear about demands otherwise it’s just going to turn into squatting sites around the world.

while i agree with this annoyance about being the 99% how do we transition those that have ‘dug’ into there ‘birds nests’ of gobs of money.

i’m still very much in a transition from losing everything due to lack of education about money and the recession and i’m building up the passions, projects i want to work on.

i have been looking at some scary figures in the last few weeks however about 16-24 year olds and that 25% of them are unemployed, this is a scary figure and something we need to address rapidly.

something that i hope that fibrecamp, ontheground training and the rattlr project can in some way help with – after all a lot of it is not about money but training how to use these new range of free web2 style tools of the internet.

point and shoot training.
