Why is David Brin spamming me?
Jun. 13th, 2012 11:48 amI received two identical e-mails last night sent to two different versions of my e-mail address apparently coming from David Brin advertising his new book. I wonder why.

So how do you get by on £3.7m
Jun. 13th, 2012 01:15 pmI do like Mark Steel's column in The Independent and today he is reacting to news that "the average 'remuneration' for directors of top companies has gone up 10 per cent to £3.7m".
"Did they tell their shareholders, 'It's such a struggle. I get home on a Friday, buy a couple of pandas and a snooker table, pay for Placido Domingo to sing while I'm in the bath, and half my week's money's gone already.' You almost have to admire the front. As if the Spanish said, 'Here, you know that bailout. We spent it on a Damien Hirst giraffe stuffed with diamonds. Can we have another one?'"
