December 11, 2016 - As an early Christmas gift, I won a domain name (technically it was a gift certificate for web hosting, but I used it for a new domain name). I might put new content on it later, but for right now it mirrors this site and my other websites. The new address is
www.drchrisbird.ca, the public parts can also be found at
public.drchrisbird.ca and the family and friends section at
private.drchrisbird.ca.

November 10, 2016 - I would point out though to all of my American friends, if you are looking for a nice place to move your technology business to, Vancouver and Vancouver Island, British Columbia have great climates - both politically and meteorologically - and a thriving tech sector. I am sure that you would be very welcome to bring your companies and valued, intelligent employees here.

November 8, 2016 - A reminder to my American friends and family that today is election day, in one of the closest elections in recent history. Please make sure you get out and vote and get counted. Unless you are a Trump supporter, in which case the election is still three weeks away :)

October 24, 2016 - With the arrival of Halloween next week, I have once again had inquiries into my pumpkin artwork and photography. For those who are interested, two great sources of patterns and templates are PumpkinGlow and Zombie Pumpkins. I have had a lot of success in past years with their designs (interested viewers can see my own artwork from 2001-2005,2005-2011, and 2012-2015. Some of these are based on Zombie designs, while others are my own original designs).
