This is the personal blog of Ian Ker, who was Councillor for the South Ward of the Town of Vincent from 1995 to 2009. I have been a resident of this area since 1985. This blog was originally conceived as a way of letting residents of Vincent know what I have been doing and sharing thoughts on important issues. I can now use it to sound off about things that concern me.

If you want to contact me, my e-mail is still ian_ker@hotmail.com or post a comment on this blog.

Even The Simplest Thing Is Subject to Murphy's Law

Murphy's Law states that anything that can go wrong will go wrong - including, presumably, the application of Murphy's Law - thus leading to a state of total uncertainty leading to chaos. Indeed, an extreme version even has it that anything that can't go wrong will go wrong (http://www.murphys-laws.com/murphy/murphy-laws.html)

Forced amalgamation of local governments will require rebranding, with new logos and the opportunity for all those 'image consultants' to foist yet more unintelligible and meaningless logos on the rest of us.

For a great take on how this gets in the way, have a look at the first episode of the ABC's new TV series, Utopia (http://iview.abc.net.au/programs/utopia/CO1211V001S00). It's available there until 15th October 2014.
