Exponential Times

I suspect if you’re at one with your inner geek, statistician, factoid buff or occasionally ponder the sheer scale of the planet you’ll like that video. I got it in my inbox yesterday from Marketingprofs. Their mailshots give me useful pause for thought every now and again.

I also came this little gem from http://www.askten.co.uk who send me a weekly digest of useless facts. “Of the 646 members of the House of Commons, 84 have been arrested for drink driving in the last year, 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit, 29 have been accused of spouse abuse, 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits, 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges, 17 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least two businesses, 9 have been accused of writing bad cheques, 8 have been arrested for shoplifting, 7 have been arrested for fraud and 3 have done time for assault.” (The original source was the Telegraph).

Both are fascinating. Both of them speak to my own deep-seated fascination with our planet but simply because one is a flashy powerpoint presentation set to music and the other is text I only forwarded one of them on to friends.

We’ve been quiet on the blogging front recently. That’s mainly because we’ve been busy. I was going to use a dodgy metaphor to explain just how busy we’ve been but I’m presenting a mature corporate face to the world so I can’t.

Have a great day.
