About me

For the last decade and more, my fascination with taking things apart and putting them back together again has manifested itself in my habitual making, using and working with Internet stuff.

In addition to providing me with a soapbox, this site tracks what I’m up to online using feeds from Flickr, del.icio.us and others.

Republican senator Brad Sherman claims that several members of congress were threatened with martial law if they didn’t support the bank bailout bill:


Naomi Wolf offers her analysis of this event in light of others including the first deployment of US military on home turf since 1807 and the changes in the chain of military command implemented by Bush and Rumsfeld:


When someone like Wolf goes on record saying that “a coup”, “an armed insurrection” has taken place in the USA, and that its populace needs to “fight back” by organising, rising up, imprisoning the president and reclaiming control of the state, I don’t know about you, but my personal alarm bells start ringing.
