I'm taking a short break, to play an extra game of poker.

Find your lost cat or dog

Terrible news, you lost your cat or dog.

Ofcourse before you panic, you have to search your property thoroughly. Look in your shed, the attic and other places you pet can hide.

After that, you need to get out of the house and walk the neighborhood while calling it often. Cats and dogs will often stay within walking range the first day. This first day (or two) will be your best shot to find your pet back. Don't go to bed, walk around.

In between post missing signs, handout flyers and contact animal shelters. After two days, animal control agencies will be your best luck to get united with your pet.

A secret

Some samples of facts, but also samples of how media (and public) put things:

At the 30th Antarctic Treaty Advisory Meeting, being held in New Delhi, worries were raised that tourism to the Antarctic could have serious implications for the delicate environment. Antarctica is considered the world's last great wilderness. Source: 70South

Between May 2000 and August 2006, Brazil lost nearly 150,000 square kilometers of forest—an area larger than Greece—and since 1970, over 600,000 square kilometers (232,000 square miles) of Amazon rainforest have been destroyed. Source: Mongabay

Unless China finds a way to clean up its coal plants and the thousands of factories that burn coal, pollution will soar both at home and abroad. The increase in global-warming gases from China's coal use will probably exceed that for all industrialized countries combined over the next 25 years, surpassing by five times the reduction in such emissions that the Kyoto Protocol seeks.

The facts are clear: Our world is changing.

The message we sent: Our glas is half empty. We're going down the drain. It all fails.

What we want: Good changes, welfare for everyone, nice holidays, seeing awsum environments, wood, income, work, energy, warmth.

Stop thinking in problems, stop thinking in what you don't want. Start thinking in solutions, start thinking what you do want. Our glass is half full.

Have a look at The Secret.

Look it up... yourself

I keep it short today. If you want to look it up for yourself...

The Power of Internet is just beginning

"Dirty Harry had his .44. Sherlock Holmes had his brain. Evan Guttman had his computer, the Web and a few thousand people he had never met. That was enough." Source: NY Times online

Propoganda, influence the mass and pillory, the power of internet is just beginning to accelerate. What to do? Try to stop it? Try to regulate it? Try anything against the internet?

NO WAY !

Two things what can be done:

1. Try to make internet users more aware of the process ongoing (instead of talking about the content). Not everything is true what is written. Encourage people to think for themselves. Establish a generic set of values and way to interact with the internet and it's content.

2. Use the internet for ad 1. It's there, just grab it.
