What an excellent idea can nurse my hangover from the NewArtland launch. I must say it was a beautifully constructed hangover.

I'm sitting at home waiting for a call to go in for a CT scan.
I'm not one much for pubs, but on the whole It sound like the more fun option.

Friday Ideas?
Why have I being ignoring wired.com?
Two fantastic pieces I cam across yesterday:
The Good Enough Revolution: When Cheap and Simple Is Just Fine
Placebos Are Getting More Effective. Drugmakers Are Desperate to Know Why.

Stop me if this sounds familiar.
So The other day I closed one eye and noticed I could see considerably less than with the other eye...

Placebos Are Getting More Effective. Drugmakers Are Desperate to Know Why.
Perhaps it is because placebos are getting more expensive. And everyone knows that more expensive placebos work better than cheap placebos...
But seriously, although price appears to be one determinant of the size of the placebo effect, if people think they are on some new miracle drug, it seems reasonable to assume that that might have a similar effect.

PA's very own Mr Slack was spotted looking very dapper in his jacket and Daffodil this morning taking photos from the Three Lamps traffic islands....

Dude, we're up on Ward 28 if you do get called in. Expected time for me to be sitting in this chair in the lounge waiting to see the dr: 20 minutes to three hours.

Apropos placebos' increased effectiveness, one theory is that in the US, drug advertising to consumers has been allowed for some years and is now pervasive. So US residents effectively get a lot more propaganda about the powers of medicine than they used to, and their belief in the efficacy of drugs has increased.

Russell, if you're looking for more photographic contributions, the http://www.flickr.com/groups/nzflickr/ group is very active and generally quite helpful.
Why have I being ignoring wired.com?
The magazine is good too.

I blame Viagra. Is there another drug in history whose effects are quite so, er, measurable?

True, but the point size is usually way too small, and often in colour combinations that even Oz Magazine didn't try in the '60s.

The only use I've found for Viagra is it stops me rolling out of bed during the night.

Good Media 7 again this week. A bonus was a post-taping rugby chat with Spiros Z.
-
i asked Spiro, John Roughan and Mr Boock if they had thought about the rugby fight in terms of the non-acceptance of violence within other sports. They already thought that I was a wanker but that unfortunately perhaps sealed it for them.
Happy birthday Sacha!!!
