Apparently, if everyone lived just like me, we’d need one and a half planets. Which is hardly comforting considering I had an ecological footprint of 2.7 global hectares when the average in my country is a whopping 5.3.
It also turns out that if we all played nice and shared the resources of the planet evenly then there’d only be 1.8 biologically productive global hectares for each of us.

Over the easter weekend, Jeffrey Zeldman decided to upgrade his Mac. Installation & sense of humour failure ensued.
I’m allowed to find this funny because earlier in the same week I upgraded the hardware in my own computer and ended up in a similar OS related catch 22 situation. Fortunately the exceptionally clever IT chap at work came dashing to the rescue and the machine was back in action with in a day or two.
Also, since I don’t bray all the time about how great my operating system is, I think I’m allowed to laugh my frickin’ head off when the Grand High Wizard of Macsturbation gets shafted by the company he’s constantly worshipping. There’s something deliciously ironic about that. :o)
