Blog Action Day - Water

Today 15th October 2010 is Blog Action Day. According to Change.org

"Blog Action Day is an annual event held every October 15 that unites the world’s bloggers in posting about the same issue on the same day with the aim of sparking a global discussion and driving collective action. "

This year, Water as a valuable resource is picked as the theme. Why?

"Right now, almost a billion people on the planet don’t have access to clean, safe drinking water. That’s one in eight of us who are subject to preventable disease and even death because of something that many of us take for granted.

Access to clean water is not just a human rights issue. It’s an environmental issue. An animal welfare issue. A sustainability issue. Water is a global issue, and it affects all of us."

Water. It might be something you take for granted; it might be something you struggle for. Lack of it might cause your crops to fail, too much of it might wash your house away. Perhaps you make your living on the waters, or perhaps you live landlocked or dry country. Whatever your circumstance, water affects your life.

Please take some time to watch this video called HOME

30 Days Of Me - Day 15 - Put your iPod on shuffle

I don't have that much music (about 35Gb), I only have a 16Gb iPhone so I have to be selective in what I put on it. So what is on it is stuff that I like to hear.

First 10 songs that play

1. Led Zepplin - Nobody’s Fault But Mine 
2. UB40 - The Road 
3. Jethro Tull - Hunting Girl 
4. The Police - King of Pain 
5. Meat Loaf - What about Love 
6. Gabriel Fauré - Pavane in F-sharp minor, Op. 50 
7. Motörhead - City Kids 
8. Led Zepplin - Kashmir 
9. Jethro Tull - Crew Nights 
10. Saxon - Wheels of Steel 
11. Bob Marliy & The Wailers - One Love – People get Ready 

Ok so it is not the first 10 but 11. I had kept in Bob Marliy in.

By the time I got to number 5 I was thinking what a load of depressing music. But the rest lifted me and I did not think it was so bad.

I was surprised that Queen did not get in, but I could say the same for Pink Floyd since I have more of a collection of them.

I usually listen to 'Adam Curry's Daily Source Code' he plays the music I would like to hear on the radio.

30 Days of Me - Half way point

This is the half way point of this little series of blog post's.

Most of the posts have been prepared by now and just need a look at.

If you look at the times of them being published you will see that most are set for 01:00 in the morning. I am asleep at this time and have been scheduled.

Enjoy the rest of the series.

I have learned a few things about blogging, which I will try to detail later.

30 Days Of Me - Day 14 - A picture of you and your family

This is difficult as we all need to be in the same place at the same time and some one else needs to be behind the camera.

So here are a few from the last holiday which we all went on in 2006 to La Pinada south of Barcelona in Spain and visited Port Aventura (a few times)
