Chomsky Speaking Itinerary
I couldn’t find a list of Noam Chomsky’s engagements anywhere. Rather that sit back in my usual fog of apathy I thought that I’d start one myself.

Noam Chomsky’s speaking itinerary
I have decided to start a speaking itinerary of the great professor as I couldn’t find one anywhere on-line. I hope that it’s useful and please let me know of any appearances (or if there’s a list already out there on the net). And Noam Chomsky has a weblog called “Turning the Tide”

Eats, Shoots and Leaves
I’ve just read Eats, Shoots & Leaves . There’s no excuse for my poor punctuation now. I was really impressed by the writing style of Lynne Truss who is bloody funny (I didn’t realise that a book on punctuation could be funny) and it really was a joy to read. And now I also know…

Final episode of Sex in the City
Sometime back in March they showed the final episode of “Sex in the City” here in England. It occurred to me that this was a cultural event (albeit a minor one, like the final of M*A*S*H, or when they changed the drinking age from 20 to 18 in NZ) and so I recorded it photographically.
