Fish Wish list

There are many fish I would like to own at some point. Some are very possible I just don't have the space yet. Some are possible just very expensive. Some may never be possible as they are very rare fish I have seen on TV. But I'm gonna share some of my wish list. I've divided it into four sections. Common, uncommon, rare and impossible. I will update this list regularly and re post. Common Killifish  ( Blue Lyretail ) Triops Albino Bristlenose Catfish Kribensis A large 50+ shoal of small fish. (Maybe White Cloud Mountain Minnows .)

Google may change the world (again)

It's core of web search has become the default for most (English Speaking) web users but beyond that Google is influencing almost every area of the internet from Google wave looking to up turn web mail standards and it's advertising arm's influence is growing and growing.

"Money Equals Power" a living post mortem

"Money Equals Power" Well it used to be pretty simple. The more money you had the more power you had(or could buy). I look at the world today and I just don't think that's true any more. The internet has shifted not just the goal posts but the entire playing field. Well the internet is growing everyday and effecting more and more of our lives. In more and more amazing ways. Once you get online (and pay that cost with your broadband company or what ever) everything online is free. Information is free for you. It is a bit like you buy a book and pay nothing for the book but pay for the delivery. The creators of this information either create it because they want to make money (adverts, company websites, etc) or because they enjoy providing it (wikipedia, blogs). What the internet has done is to provide a platform where the amount of money poured into creating the information does not equal the amount of power the information wields. In the UK we have had a fantastic exa...
