If the tour of the fridge didn’t quite do it for you, I’ve got something up my sleeve that might do the trick.

Well actually all I’ve got is a link to Glenn’s web site.

Some of you might know Glenn as the boyfriend of my former house mate Kate, or perhaps more likely as the bass player in Petuey, “ah of course” I hear you say.

The lad has a serious case of ants in the pants, and has been to an absolute stack of cool places, I’m jealous. But then I’ve only got myself to blame.

His “travel rants” have a great style to them, and he (and Kate too) can take some thoroughly awesome photos.

When you’re over the thrills of the fridge you should check his site out.

And the economy booms!

Ben^[1] put me onto this site today.

It’s called the “Wellbeing Manifesto” and it’s basically a short document putting the case that the aim of society should be to promote the wellbeing of its members. It goes on to detail what that might mean in several areas of policy.

I guess I’ve always thought it was obvious that a society’s aim should be to promote the wellbeing of its members. The sticking point I guess is deciding what “wellbeing” actually means, and to what extent one person’s wellbeing is affected by another’s and so on.

I haven’t signed it yet, but I think I probably will, given a little longer to ponder it. Can’t hurt.

An interesting (and quick) read, check it out.
