It’s the little things

Today, Google announced a new Beta release of Chrome. This is not unusual; it happens every six weeks or so, but in this case the announcement blog post was authored by me. That really isn’t a big deal in the grand scheme of things, I know; there’s stuff all over the web with my name [...]

I think I’m going bald

There comes a time in most men’s lives when they look at their father’s and grandfather’s hair lines and think about when they will lose their hair. I was pleased to see that the men on my father’s side of the family maintained a strong widow’s peak, though their hairline receded. My hair started receding, [...]

Happy Muttville Senior Dog Rescue Day

It’s Muttville Senior Dog Rescue Day in the City of San Francisco. As a failed foster parent of a Muttville rescue 1 I can’t recommend or praise Muttville highly enough for the work they do with senior dogs who have been abandoned by their families. Rescuing a senior dog can be fraught with difficulty as [...]

Why I am a terrible reviewer

26th

I like everything. I mean, I don’t love everything, but I get enjoyment out of almost everything I experience, whether it’s a book, comic, album, or movie. Of course, I enjoy some more than others, and I revisit some of them again and again, but I find it really hard to name something that I [...]

I haven’t written anything here in a while because my creative juices have been drained by my new position writing over at Guerrilla Geek. Last week I was in Sweden. Ostensibly for a family thing, but also to take a break and spend some time with Mirto‘s family. I’ve been there once before, about nine [...]

This post started as a comment on this post, but it became really long, so you should read that first and then come back to read my thoughts. I’ll wait. … I have a problem with the approach outlined in this post. I understand the issues, and am frustrated that media ownership has become media leasing [...]

Don’t believe what you read

I’m an atheist. More than that, if I find out that you believe in a higher power there’s a good chance that I will think less of you. I’ve tried not to, really I have, but if I learn that you need to believe in a supernatural being to make sense of the world instead [...]

My traveling companion

It was nine years ago today that @mirtos and I met. Not for the first time, that had been two years earlier, but this time with an understanding that we were going to spend some time together, getting to know each other. Fast forward five years and we’re living in Vancouver and getting married, in [...]

#DearJohn: An open letter to my representative

31st

By dominic

As you may have read about, there is a bill in the House of Representatives that is, apparently, the countries “highest legislative priorities”. This bill will deny vital medical care to many victims of rape and incest due to its introduction of the word “forcible” to differentiate between different levels of rape. I don’t like [...]

Putting it all out there

25th

This weekend I finally finished a project 1 and made it publicly available. This is the first time I’ve put software that I’ve developed on my own out there and I’ve been running the gamut of emotions over it. I suspect the feelings I’m going through are something akin to a musician putting out an [...]
