I would like to introduce the site of a friend of mine (a made guy), John Dierckx. Check him out at http://johndierckx.terapad.com John is one of life's thinkers. I get on well for him because I just drop a dime, give him a call and he does all of my thinking. The good thing is that John is one of these philosophers who is on the level and doesn't lead me of the garden path with his thoughts. I try hard not to think....To quote C.J. from Reginald Perrin --- "Reggie, my father caught me thinking one day. C.J. he said, Philosophising doesn't get the dishes done." (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073990/)
John also happens to be one of New Zealand's leading fraud investigators. Check his other sites out at http://dierckx.terapad.com and http://www.dierckx.co.nz
John has recently written up on the dangers of CO2 emissions, which was probably after just having taken a car ride with me with the windows up. The great Greek thinkers were so pre-occupied with thinking that many times they left the house without any pants on. Pythagorus' hypothesis originally came to him after receiving a rather nasty draft up his theorum. If there was money in thinking, John would have a bank account the size of Bill Gates. Now, I'm not sure if I would like to see either John, or Bill without any pants on.
Epicurus basically said that man can live in supreme happiness, fortified by the continual experience of modest pleasures. For John, those are a good long black and the occasional ciggie.
Check out his web sites. You'll be a better person for having done so.

Top | Reply to this Title: The Renaissance Man finds a new office Author: John Dierckx (http://johndierckx.wordpress.com) Date Posted: 30 Jul 2009 11:06 PM (GMT +12:00) More recently I have opened up a new home for the Renaissance Man and other blogs at http://johndierckx.wordpress.com. For the terapad fans amongst you, this choice has none to do with not being content with terapad, which I still see as one of my favorite content management packages and have been using it with great pleasure and satisfaction for years now. The reason to shift is one of integration with other services like twitter and flickr, the ability to integrate it with posterous (www.posterous.com) which makes it possible to post via gmail when I see something of interest. For regular visitors of this blog: let me first thank you for your interest and at times fantastic responses. I hope we can continue this on the new site at http://johndierckx.wordpress.com. It is noted here that more than this site, the new blog site contains all I am putting out, so it also contains posts that I do on the following blog sites:
All in all it makes my life a lot easier in that sense. In the coming period however I will double up the most important posts and start copying some of the articles from here into my wordpress site under the heading "The Vault". I look forward to seeing you there and continue the conversations. |
