after a short and pretty tired practise this morning, time for some breakfast at Blues Point Cafe, across the road from North Sydney Yoga. It's in a great spot, I really enjoy the scrambed eggs there...Dawie, from Extend called me about some work...my first work for 2009
and I tracked my India visa online, it's now ready for pickup in Clarence St in the city...3 day turnaround from when I lodged last Friday morning...efficient, transparent...there should be more of it!
i read this morning a little about venezuela and yesterday about Cuba and how their countries are faring politically and economically...and also about an American guy who predicted the problems in the world geopolitically with the clash of liberal democracy, under the American model, with other models around the world...seems that all the tensions that have been taking place between America...and, well everyone, specially the Arab world, Latin America...Russia...yep everyone may be due for a huge shake up, the time seems ripe - a reasonably leftist President, the American economy rudderless, in massive amounts of debt, confused and in recession - well the world's in recession really - meaning production is about to fall drastically, prices should be stable, but no one can get credit to make any more stuff...people are wary about paying too much for assets...what's the shift going to be? which industries will lead economies out of recession? looks like the onus is on governments, through fiscal policy to kick things into gear - the gear we seem to be in at the moment is probably neutral, facing uphill so more than anything moving backwards...the question then becomes which governments have the cash and what should they be spending money on - infrastructure - green energy initiatives, communications infrastructure - so Aus's National Broadband Network might be very, very, very well timed...
