Weekly finds – part 8

The oldest blogger in the world?
Olive Riley lives in Australia and was born in 1899 and is now, age 108 107, probably the oldest blogger in the world. She has a blog helper called Mike and together they post about her day to day life and her amazingly clear memories of her colourful life. And oh, she doesn’t call her blog a blog but a blob :)


Could you shutdown your computer for one day?
From the site:
"It is obvious that people would find life extremely difficult without computers, maybe even impossible. If they disappeared for just one day, would we be able to cope? Be a part of one of the biggest global experiments ever to take place on the internet. The idea behind the experiment is to find out how many people can go without a computer for one whole day, and what will happen if we all participate! Shutdown your computer on this day and find out! Can you survive for 24 hours without your computer?"
If you think you can, or can’t, let them know here
