Scientology in Hammersmith

Posted by Brad | Posted in Ramblings | Posted on 28-11-2009

To my surprise today I saw 4 desks & chairs on the pavement all brightly offering a “free stress test”, with dianetics in smaller text and a couple of mentions of the science fiction writer ron hubbard on the side, I instantly recognised this as the evil beginning of scientology. About 10 years ago in Munich I was walking out of my hotel to be greeted by someone in the street who said “GusGott”, which turned out to be good day in the southern German region, which I didn’t understand so he spotted me as a foreigner and next thing I knew I was invited into this building to talk about something or other and see if I would be interested in buying a couple of books… I turned it down and left the building.

Little did  I know that was Scientology trying to lure a 25 year old me into it’s clutches, so today the more informed me saw this little show and wanted to have a go of some sort at them. As I walked back to the car I walked more and more slowly… then a girl asked me if I was interested in a free stress test… to which I confidently replied “Isn’t this that cult that takes away all your money?”, she said “No it isn’t”, I looked at it and finally said “well it certainly looks like it”, then walked away feeling good about my dig at evil.

For those who don’t know what all this is about, just check out the BBC episode about them.

Brad Google Wave 1256816593911 490x331 Started using Google Wave today

Thanks to Avron for the invite, I’m now able to have a play with Google Wave, first thing I notice is that you can’t hook it up with your Google Apps account – and you need to come up with a new username just for the Wave.

Lets play!

URL Shortening service madness

Am I the only person who thinks using sites like bit.ly and tinyurl to handle links you create is madness….?

One day those sites wont exist anymore, and all the links you created with them will disappear in a puff of electrosmoke…
