Theatre in the Round's virtually sold-out run of playwright Greg Banks' 5-actor 90-minute adaptation of The Hobbit (which was commissioned by and premiered at Children's Theatre Company in 2019) closed less than two months ago. Just last...

There’s still one week left in July, but it’s been a relatively quiet month for me on the blog; I’ve written very few articles. Why? Because…change. I’ve been offline more — trying to be. And I’m handwriting posts-in-draft. That’s very...
It's a bit of a cryptic error message, isn't it? Mail bouncing back with "554 5.7.5 Permanent error evaluating DMARC policy." Wondering how to troubleshoot that? Well, I covered exactly this in a recent Ask Al video for Valimail, which...

Today a quick word of praise for an excellent project, from one of my favorite newsletter writer/photographers. I forgot to include it in last week’s “other news” roundup. But just as well, because now I can give it a bit more...
Now that I am back in clinic full-time I have tried and failed to pick up on the more clinical podcasts. Both ASCO and ASH have their podcast series, but they are all so formal and scripted you can see the teleprompter scrolling in front...

At Fort de Petit Bé two Compagnies franches de la Marine units, one the le Lys sous l'Erable, based in France, and the other Garnison de Quebec, from Canada. They did some excellent demonstrations of the 1755 French infantry exercises...
