| The war we no longer expect |

Lebanon, Iran then WWIII? On the new blog page of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad there is an on-line poll asking ‘Do you think that the US and Israeli intention and goal by attacking Lebanon is pulling the trigger for another word war?'. I've spent the last couple of weeks pondering the very same question, though recent information has lent more weight to another thought I was considering, that Lebanon is more likely to be a final stepping-stone than the trigger. The trigger, if indeed it actually does lead to WWIII, seems more likely to be a strike by Israel or the US on Iran's nuclear facilities. Yet the whole concept of WWIII seems very strange, and perhaps because of over exposure in popular culture it now feels like more of a mythology. It has certainly lost t...

Recent publicity over nasty chemicals such as arsenic, lead and zinc in hundreds of millions of dumped cell phones highlights a side to technology that we'd rather not think about. People know that burning oil is polluting, but would converting to cleaner energy prevent the earth turning into a toxic waste dump? For example, if we had electric cars how long would the batteries last before being ditched?At a macro, and visibly interesting end of the junk problem I stumbled on photos of aircraft discarded in US desserts. Phantom fighter squadrons, 747's, Airbuses, B52 bombers and other assorted aero trash. We know that cars wear out but somehow it's hard to imagine someone tossing out a Boeing 747. Air travel is sublime and quick but an airliner is a big piec...
