The Bees Knees and GPI

Human Tetris - amazing game show

Passive Aggressive Notes - 'nuf said

Spring is coming, and what better way to celebrate the blossoms, blooms, and rain than to keep bees! I'm very excited to settle down and keep bees myself. I'm a bit of an apiphile (?) and recommend Betty's Bee School brought to you by the RI Beekeepers Association (of which I am a member). I took the class last year. Well worth the $45 if you've got the interest and passion for hive insects like I do.

The Armenian Presidential elections were held last week - full of third world dramarama. Levon claims they were rigged, but I've been talking with my Armo bretheren up in Canada who argue that it was the private media companies which pretty much all sided with Serzh's campaign that gave Serzh the win. People have been camping in the streets of Yerevan and in Hanreptutian Hraparak (Republic Square) in support of Levon... Exciting amounts of passion for fair election processes and democracy, or another case of people with post-Soviet unemployment & needing an outlet for frustration (and time consumption)? I think it's a lot of both.

I'm pretty sure most of these numbers are bogus and inflated.

And how do we want to measure Progress? GNP? or GNH? or GPI? How long can our current methods of gaining economic progress continue before we use up all of our natural resources and destroy our squishy (delicious) brains? The third world hasn't caught on to this "green is the new black" trend, and their economic development is rooted in the same economic theories and formulas that have corrupted, polluted, and left so many in poverty here in the "developed" world.

Maybe I've been reading too much Kalle Lasn.

Go out for a long walk today! Look around. Do you love what you see?
