Vacation Goals

July 10, 2010

Do you take vacation with goals for what you want to accomplish? During our recent vacation (camping at Providence Bay, Manitoulin Island) I had very simple goals.  Forget about work for a while, read a few books, and play with my camera.  And even though the weather didn’t exactly cooperate (rain plus single digit temps [...]

I need a new hobby…

June 1, 2010

Well, actually, that’s the last thing I need.  But I went ahead to start one anyway.  After all, at any given point you could say that life is too busy for a new (or any) hobby, but on the other hand it’s far better to say that life is too short to keep putting off [...]

It’s a mistake to focus solely on BP.

May 10, 2010

Update: Comments to this post suggest that the title would be more appropriate if I added the word “solely” and I agree.  It was never my intent to suggest that BP not be held accountable. I’ve been seeing & hearing many arguments focussing on BP (formerly British Petroluem), with a strong public demand that they [...]

Sudbury Vale-Inco strike

August 23, 2009

I haven’t heard a great deal about this story but this video from The Real News tells quite the tale of the workers fight with this global mining company. This story is current and local, but other than that is not really news.  Every industry is now dominated by these multinational corporations.  Their mandate, which [...]

Seriously, this can’t be legal

August 18, 2009

This feels like a case of something very fishy going on, and I thought I’d throw it out there for opinions.

But the twittersphere and my google search for “Green Party” sure have been busy sending [...]
