I heard the news about Aaron Swartz like everyone else. And then I heard another way as way back when I started blogging I belonged to the Berkman Thursday discussion group through the Harvard Law School's Berkman Center for Internet and Society. I still get the digests via email when something is …

Your Friday Bullets For The End Of February
Posted by on Friday, February 24, 2012 in - leave a comment
End of the week. End of the month. Nearing the end of the winter that wasn't. I hear we are in for a bit of a zap this weekend but it's all millionaire's snow from here on out. That is what they called a later winter storm in PEI. Sure, it usually comes in April but winter usually... you know …
Friday Bullets For Yet Another New Year
Posted by on Friday, January 6, 2012 in - 2 comments
Why do we moan about another birthday but not New Years? Consider the alternative. It's me and the cat this week and I have been inordinately busy. The electrician has been in. The stash now has a light switch thanks to the electricians coming in on Wednesday. One wall has one coat of light sandy …

Yulesight. You can see the holidays coming but you are not quite connected emotionally yet. It was an interesting week. I was slagged in the British media. Beer magazine columnist with a chip on his tiny shoulders. Wrote a complaint to the publisher whose response was that they did not feel, that … read more »

One of my favorite holidays of the year is the day I take a vacation day to go over to the US and help out with the NCPR membership drive. I have to deliver some prizes for draws given by helpful Kingstonians and these are received with great fanfare... or is it that they are received by exhausted …
Friday Bullets For The Tenth Anniversary
Posted by on Friday, September 9, 2011 in - 3 comments
I was on a platform in a curling rink in Summerside, PEI after giving a presentation when I heard. I got home as soon as I could and six days later I started writing comments on a blog. For some reason, we had guests from Sweden, in-laws of in-laws who didn't speak English and for a time had a … read more »

I have been waiting for this arrangement of holidays for years. We are off today so I got up at the crack of 10:15 am. The authorities have noticed. I should mow the lawn, too, but it is stinking hot. I haven't even been out yet and I know that. Then we roam. Looking forward to the Rochester … read more »
