February 22nd, 2012This is an awesome idea for more direct democracy.
You can delegate your vote to someone who will represent you, but you can withdraw your vote from that person at any time without waiting for new elections.
I’ve often thought that technology will allow us all to vote on all issues (as we see fit), but this would be great – to freely nominate a representative, so you don’t then have to keep up with all the details of all important decisions. You can withdraw your vote from your representative at any time, and represent yourself, or choose another.
Back to work
February 20th, 2012
I was back at work today, having spent two weeks with Caroline and Oscar. We’ve had lots of fun and had lots of visitors. Thanks, everyone for coming to see Oscar and helping with cooking and washing (and also for not overwhelming us!)
Oscar’s still doing really well. He has big sleeps, big feeds and big awake-and-looking times. He’s definitely looking at faces lots recently, and likes looking at black-and-white objects (like the cups you can see in the third pic below.) I can’t tell if he likes cuddles – he seems just as happy lying down as being held. He makes all sorts of funny noises and has lots of faces, but we don’t know what the faces mean.

Airplane in Russell Square
February 10th, 2012
Spotted this on Google Maps today. It’s amazingly clear, and looks pretty large. A quick Google shows I’m not the first to spot it, and the photo was probably taken by a plane at about twice the altitude of the airliner.
