January 1, 2019 - HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
December 25, 2018 - MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
December 15, 2018 - For those who have been asking, the twentieth anniversary edition of the
Grandiloquent Dictionary has now been published and distributed to the book sellers. The most affordable option is to buy it directly from the publisher, in
hardcover or
softcover, but it will also be available through the major online book stores as well.
November 24, 2018 - A couple of my friends from the physics and mathematics community have asked me to share a link for their new online science program,
The Edge Of Reality, with the
first episode being posted this afternoon. (For the sake of full disclosure I should add that they have contracted my company,
Intergalactic Visuals, to produce some of the animations for upcoming episodes as well). The first episode is just introductory materials, but based on the animations and CGI work that they have requested I can tell you that some of these upcoming videos are going to be truly amazing! I would encourage anyone with an interest in modern physics and mathematics to watch them and perhaps even try a free subscription...
November 11, 2018 - Remembrance Day. Let us each take a moment out of our busy schedules to remember all of those who sacrificed to protect our freedoms. Lest we forget...
October 31, 2018 - HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
October 27, 2018 - For those who are interested, I have now posted this year's pumpkin carvings on my new website, located at public.drchrisbird.net/Pumpkins
October 24, 2018 - 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 2012-2017. Some of these are based on Zombie designs, while others are my own original designs).
October 20, 2018 - A reminder to those who live in British Columbia (and elsewhere in Canada) that today is the municipal elections, so try to get out and vote. And even more important, please take the time to learn a little about each candidate so that you know who you are voting for!
UPDATE: I just got back from voting and there was a 45-minute wait just to get into the building. I understand that other polling stations are reporting similar crowds, so please consider that when deciding what time to go out and vote. It won't be a quick process this time!
October 8, 2018 - Happy Thanksgiving Canada!! We live in one of the greatest countries in the world, in one of the best eras in history, and many will be celebrating this day with their loved ones (or if all else fails, their families). We truly have much to be thankful for today, and it is always worth taking the time to remind ourselves of that fact. Enjoy the holidays everyone!
September 27, 2018 - For those who have been asking, I have posted photos of my recent trip to
my Instagram account. For some reason Flickr hasn't been working well lately, but I will try to add the photos to
that account as well when I get some free time.
