September 30, 2003 | Comments Off
Hey, people are still reading the blog! Ain’t that a shocker…;^)
This one will be quick, but I’ll get back later in the day with something at least a bit interesting to say.
So, yesterday, IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) released what is, so far, the broadest study in the development of our country (socially, […]

Hey, there, everyone.
I’m James, writing from Brasilia (probably the city with the most f*-up weather in the world, but I’ll get to that in a minute).
I’ll be standing in for Jon while he enjoys his existential holiday at sunny Ibiza.
I don’t have much to say right now, so I’ll just throw in a couple of […]

Okay - the update on the holiday situation:
Weirdly, we are still going away tomorrow.
More weirdly still, in an almost existential twist, we’re going on our holiday. We’re taking the flights we were going to be on, and staying in the same apartments we were going to be in . Obviously they all suddenly […]

Long-standing readers will remember that when I went away for what was supposed to be a week this time last year, I handed this place over to the Mystery Guest Blogger, whose Figure Project ended up assembling a composite More a way of life…. reader. This one, in fact.

Guest Blogger
September 25, 2003 | Comments Off
Just thought I’d mention that I’m lining up a guest blogger for next week while I’m away. I’m hoping to be able to announce the recipient of this rare honour shortly.
Getting things sorted out at work and home before I go is occupying me pretty fully at the moment, so sorry I’m a bit […]
