First off, I’m not taking a stand on whether or not Mubaric should go with the picture on the right. I was just looking for a graphic to represent the current situation in Egypt. I do; however, think that people everywhere should be free to govern themselves. Self-determination.
If you want to watch live coverage on what is going on but aren’t near a TV, the BBC is live streaming their coverage.

As the song goes “…sign a song of six pence….” But what exactly is it? A penny farthing is named for the largest and smallest coins in circulation at the time, but what is a farthing? And a shilling?
Well, for the answers to those questions, you’ll have to read the Wikipedia article on when the UK experienced decimalisation (or Decimalization in American English).
But why am I writing about this now? Well, the 15th of February 2011 will be the 40th anniversary of when the UK decimalized. If you’d like to read more about it, I would suggest starting with this recent BBC article.

Today, I received an e-mail telling me that Mazuma had received my phone, processed my order, and mailled my cheque (of check if you are spelling the American way(
). Soon, I should have an extra 23 quid floating around (enough to pay for the case and screen protector I bought). This is an update to this post where I mention selling my Nokia e65 to Mazuma Mobile.

My Nexus S got the 2.3.2 Update on Monday evening. I didn’t experience the SMS bug–well, atleast not that I can tell–nor have I experienced the reboot bug.

…the government doesn’t have the money! Where’t it going to come from? They could stand to cut the budget by 1/2 (keeping just the military and some other essentials. They could get rid of worthless government programs like the Department of Education and Homeland Security). And I’m talking about real cuts…not these cuts that are real increases but simply cuts to the proposed budget.
