Bonobo World: A thousand words paint a picture

http://bonoboworld.blogspot.com/2010/12/thousand-words-paint-picture.html

One bonobo's view of the world.and stuff. Thursday, December 09, 2010. A thousand words paint a picture. I've been playing with tag clouds at the gorgeous wordle.net. For thems as doesn't know, a Tag Cloud. Is a visual representation of word frequencies within a body of text. More frequent words are shown larger. Wordle lets you monkey around with layout, colour, etc. Here's what it makes of Shakespeare's sonnets. All 154 of them:. NWA's seminal 'Straight Outta Compton' album:. Posted by Edward the Bonobo.

Bonobo World: Marx and Monkeys.

http://bonoboworld.blogspot.com/2011/10/marx-and-monkeys.html

One bonobo's view of the world.and stuff. Monday, October 17, 2011. This is intended as the first blog in a series of (probably) three. When I get around to them. Speak to any intelligent and informed person and they'll have to problem at all with Darwin's revelation that the rich diversity of species was brought about by competition. Neither will the 21stC reader have any problem taking this to the microbiological level. Dawkins' Selfish Gene. Let's begin with Darwin the Philosopher. Note, incidenta...

Bonobo World: Only Smarties have the answer

http://bonoboworld.blogspot.com/2011/09/only-smarties-have-answer.html

One bonobo's view of the world.and stuff. Tuesday, September 20, 2011. Only Smarties have the answer. My son’s primary school had The Church in to their assembly last week. He said that they held up a jar of Smarties and told them that they might be all sorts of colours on the outside, but underneath they’re all the same. Oh Fuck. Off. For a start, a contemptibly patronising message to be telling children to whom the stupid hang-ups of previous generations are not an issue. We all have individual persona...

Bonobo World: August 2007

http://bonoboworld.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html

One bonobo's view of the world.and stuff. Thursday, August 23, 2007. Posted by Edward the Bonobo. It's one damned thing after another. History is written by the victors",. Says the slogan. In fact, in the case of the Vietnam, it has now been re-written by the losers - as evidenced in George Bush's speech. To US veterans yesterday. And who was it who sorted out the mess? In 1968, Cambodia was liberated by Vietnam. Tip o' the hat to. For his photo title. Posted by Edward the Bonobo. Last week I visited the...

Bonobo World: November 2010

http://bonoboworld.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

One bonobo's view of the world.and stuff. Tuesday, November 30, 2010. Genuine Sainsburys photo, from the blog that brought you this. Posted by Edward the Bonobo. Tuesday, November 23, 2010. Going back a bit. As ever.I'll fix the html shortly. A short while ago I read, and immensely enjoyed '. The Time Traveller's Wife'. So I was surprised when two people whose opinions I respect, at least one of whom had read it ( ;-) ). So why the repugnance on one side and blank puzzlement on the other? Say for sure wh...

Bonobo World: October 2009

http://bonoboworld.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

One bonobo's view of the world.and stuff. Saturday, October 24, 2009. Diesen Kuss der ganzen Welt! So Nick Griffin has received a trouncing on Question Time. You can all YouTube it yourself. Chicago's finest Bonnie Greer was soooooooo sharp, so sexy. Agreed? And obviously the BBC were right to let the gig go ahead, and the protesters who opposed the programme were and attempted to prevent its broadcast were 'misguided'. Let's look at some historical examples:. The South African Anti-Apartheid Movement.

Bonobo World: July 2007

http://bonoboworld.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html

One bonobo's view of the world.and stuff. Friday, July 27, 2007. Hearts, Minds and Prawn Cocktails. A wee tidbit which is perhaps indicative of why the occupying forces in Afghanistan have failed to win hearts and minds. I chanced upon a Ministry of Defence newspaper which had a mayor feature on new types of field dressing being used in Afghanistan. The dressings contain. Remember what happened when rumours spread that bullets were greased with pork fat. Posted by Edward the Bonobo. I've already admitted...

Bonobo World: Somersault

http://bonoboworld.blogspot.com/2007/05/somersault.html

One bonobo's view of the world.and stuff. Thursday, May 03, 2007. One isn't really meant to quote poems in their entirety, but the Penguin Selected Poems by Hugh McDiarmid seems to be out of print, so what the fuck. Probably appropriate on this parliamentary election day, anyway. I lo'e the stishie. O' earth in space. At a haliket pace. A wech o' hills. Gangs wallopin' Owre,. Syne a whummlin' sea. Wi' a gallus glower. The West whuds doon. Like the pigs at Gadara,. But the East's aye there. Then, and then.

Bonobo World: Guilt and Innocence....of what?

http://bonoboworld.blogspot.com/2010/12/guilt-and-innocenceof-what.html

One bonobo's view of the world.and stuff. Friday, December 17, 2010. Guilt and Innocence.of what? All the right thinking (by which I mean Left thinking) folk have been lining up in support of Julian Assange. All well and good. But do they have their causes confused? On last Thursday's (16th Dec) 's R4 'World at One', Josefin Brink. Made the good point that a) The exposure of government lies, double-dealing and general shadiness and b) the alleged rapes of two women are separate issues. Now I accept that ...

Bonobo World: January 2008

http://bonoboworld.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html

One bonobo's view of the world.and stuff. Tuesday, January 29, 2008. Geor-Geor-Geor-Geor-Georgia's always on my-my-my-my- my mind. Here's a not-very-good cameraphone photo of my favourite relish. My brother-in-law found it in a Russian shop in Dundee. The main label text is in Russian (nice one, Cyril) and says. Obviously a cognate of. Etc - chilli or spicy pickle in various languages. The text above it is in Georgian script. Which is where the sauce originates). Posted by Edward the Bonobo. Anyway.t...
