Photo Shoot from the High Line – New York, New York Today’s picture is also similar to what I posted from my previous High Line coverage. Though, in my defense, who wouldn’t want a picture of the Empire State Building with such a unique...
The prices on my paintings might seem high. For a painting that I am offering for $2,500 CAD, you may have seen a similarly sized painting selling elsewhere for $400 CAD. You may think that I am overcharging. In fact, I have tried to...
Movie film is a challenging form of media to preserve and share digitally. This is might be somewhat surprising. Unlike the ephemeral tape media standards of the 90s (looking at you Video8 and DAT), film enjoyed a long run as the...
Things that brought me delight in July, 2026: Neurosis, An Undying Love for a Burning WorldI honestly wasn't sure we'd ever get another album from Neurosis, but An Undying Love for a Burning World is a worthy addition to their lengthy...

Did a bit of back-to-school shopping on ThredUp. Back on my romantigoth bull.
My, how time flies! It’s been a year since writing about breaking me ankle. Tip of the ole hat across the pond to Simone for nudging me into an update. Surgery went well with Doc carving in a titanium plate and nine screws. May have been...
Topology is the field of mathematics describing the properties of geometric objects that do not change when they are smoothly deformed. These properties only change in steps by cutting or gluing. Concepts in topology can be illustrated...
If you’re a professional web app, your key shortcut situation is not to be envied. Once the operating system grabs the ⌘ shortcuts it requires (⌘M to minimize, ⌘H to hide, ⌘Q to quit, etc.), the browser has its turn, claiming everything...
As expected, today broke 30C/86F. I don’t know what the humidex was. I was outside by 7am, watering the garden and it was starting to get too hot before I finished. It’s past 7:30pm now, and it’s just barely starting to dip below 30C/86F...
