Municipal Election Day

October 21, 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!

As one lovely lady in the line up was saying, if you don't vote you don't get to complain. This is the one chance in four years to have a real say in how our communities are operated, and every resident should take advantage of t...

Older & Wiser

October 15, 2018
Let me start by saying that this is going to be a very odd entry. The reason is, this article is about people I knew in the past and various incidents that happened, and my recent thoughts on the same. However I do not feel that it is appropriate to name people that I used to know or discuss incidents that were meant to be private. Therefore I will be being quite cryptic in my writing this time (some would say that this is no different from most of my articles :) ). Those who this article is ...

Back To School

September 4, 2018

Some loyal readers will recognize this entry as a repeat from the last three years. Each year it gets a good response, and kudos from my readers, and so as before I must appease my loyal followers...

To all the students starting University, enjoy this time of your life. Long ago when I started, a prof told me that this is the start of your real education. Now you get to choose your own courses and your own field of study. It is entirely up to you to decide what to do with this chance.

I know fr...

Strange Events

April 13, 2018
I am feeling a bit unsettled tonight, and I would like to share the reasons with everyone. Although I am going to try my best not to speculate in this article, it is still going to come off sounding more than a little paranoid. I apologize in advance for that, but certain recent events need to be shared. 

What prompted this was a strange pair of event today. I was driving off to run errands this afternoon, and as I was in my driveway one of the other residents on the street came over to chat f...

The Future of Social Media

March 25, 2018
Today's article will be a departure from my usual varied fare, and is a copy of an article that I recently wrote for a futurist website that I also contribute to. This is more of an editorial than my usual writings, and some users may wish to skip over it.

This has been a bad week for Facebook. By now I suspect most people are aware of the latest scandal, in which the user data of tens of millions of users was harvested by a British company that then used the information to influence voters in...

Let's Change Everything!

February 11, 2018
With the news this week that the Canadian government has officially altered the lyrics of the national anthem, this clip from fifteen years ago seems very appropriate again...

Christmas Letter 2017

December 25, 2017
Dear Friends & Family,

Here we are once more at the holiday season, looking back on a very wild year (both for me personally and for the world at large). The yard is lit, the tree is up and decorated, and the gifts are bought and wrapped. It is Christmas Eve and the house smells of all the traditional Christmas baking. It is time to relax and enjoy some time off.

For me this has been a year of obstacles, all of which have been overcome. It started with a month long snowstorm - which for most pe...
