Global Warming
In the 1990’s economic losses from extreme weather amounted to US$399 billion, according to the Globe and Mail. The northern nations are having their hottest summer yet, and the finger is being pointed at global warming. Not that I doubt the effect of carbon dioxide on our planet, but I found this article a little tough to stomach. The author did not link greenhouse gases to the temperature rise we’re having this summer through any kind of logical argument, but rather jumped directly to the conclusion that greenhouse emissions are the problem. It reads as an opinion piece, and not front page material.
Stock Option Reform
Is this bill even relevant?
Getting Started With Userland Radio
I’ve spent the better part of the day mucking with Radio, and I think I’m getting the hang of it. I love the news feature, but am finding that I am getting inundated with news. Need to find a way to filter it, and no doubt there is if I want to dig deeper into the docs. Can’t make the MyPicture feature work yet, but haven’t given up. Have set it up to look at a directory in My Pictures, and transfer everything, but no transfer is occurring.
On the whole, a nice piece of software. Enjoying it a lot.
G’night.
