Watch out for those Accountability Sinks - The Unaccountability Machine

Ever thought that the world is just too complex and is just mad. You know you just could be right. The Unaccountability Machine might just be able to tell you why (see below, another interesting and insightful Audible read, this time about Economics): 


It introduces a interesting character called Stafford Beer and the Cybernetics Movement, co-starring Norbert Wiener, Gordon Pask and John von Neumann. What could go wrong if we follow the (wrong) economists?

Great News Skytrex is "Back from the Dead" :)

Skytrex Models 
Newsletter


Skytrex (2013) Limited is pleased to announce that it has managed to purchase the remaining assets of "Skytrex Ltd" from the administrators.

The model railway side of the business has been secured largely intact but several of the wargames and naval collectors ranges have been sold on to other  manufacturers.  These will be listed on our website when it is up and running once more - we have some re-structuring work to do!

Our model railway websites are now functional, we have established a PayPal function on the site and we intend to add SagePay payment facility as soon as possible.

All messages received during the administration period have been made available to us and we will follow up on these where appropriate.

Subscribers lists were also passed on to us and we look forward to resuming contact with you all.

All the company contact details are the same as they were before.

We will send out another newsletter as soon as the wargames site is ready to roll.  Thank you for your patience - just a few more days!!

Now I think I understand the Financial Crisis and Economics

OK wargaming it is not, but this You Tube video blew me away.
I normally would say I am not a rapper but I enjoyed this!

A seven minute Rap video explaining the Financial Meltdown

It did it for me :)
