I just finished watching The Cove and am at a loss for words but still wanted to post something about it. In April 2007, I blogged about this YouTube video on the Taiji dolphin slaughter. Well, there is now a documentary out that covers the issue. It is an award-winning film and does an amazing [...]

I recently received an email from one of my Social Justice and Peace Studies professors posing a few questions to graduates of the program to see what they are doing with the degree. I thought I’d post my response here for future reference.
2. What you’ve done since graduating
Graduating left a very big question mark looming [...]

My recent post on the “Out of a Job Yet? Keep Buying Foreign” bumper stickers caused a bit of controversy, as I expected. As somewhat of a follow-up to that post, I’d like to pose the question, does buying locally really matter to people?
I ask this because on my way home for lunch last week [...]

A mad rush of impatient shoppers forced their way through a New York Wal-Mart’s doors to take advantage of Black Friday savings, trampling and killing an employee in the process. Can you believe this? How low have we sunk when our desire for “things” is this great? On the other hand, economists are rejoicing as [...]

Because I’ve been in school and my part-time job is based online and can be worked from home, I haven’t worked in an office for a while (two summers ago). Now that I’m back, the germs that such an environment can spread are slapping me in the face.
I have just come down with a cold. [...]

A few days ago I was planning on cooking up a nice T-bone steak dinner. Unfortunately, when I got home, I realized that I had forgotten to take the steak out of the freezer. Doh! After doing some Googling, I realized that it is just not possible to cook your steak from a frozen state [...]

There are just over 30 minutes left in Summer! Where did the time go? It seems that summer always passes us by too quickly. All-in-all it has been a good season this year and it’s time to look forward to fall/winter activities. What will you be doing in the upcoming months?
I have a few plans [...]

I drove through the US today to pick up a company package and couldn’t help taking a picture of this license plate. I saw three plates with references to God and managed to get my camera out for the third. It worries me that people put so much faith in a supposed supernatural being as [...]

Rita and I returned from Cuba a earlier this month and I was planning to write a review of how it was and what we did, but have been busy getting ready for B.C.. Instead, I’ll just post a link to the pictures and let them tell you about our trip. You can view the [...]

Rita and I went to see some fireworks for the May 2-4 weekend tonight. I brought the Nikon along to grab some shots and was satisfied with the results (first time shooting fireworks). Some pointers for next time to make the pictures better would be: i) include other objects in the image–fireworks are nice, but [...]

I was just reading an article that said people in S. America and Africa are taking out loans and going into debt so they can have Western-style weddings. Then I thought, “that’s strange.” Then I thought, “well, actually, almost everyone here goes into debt for their wedding.” Then I thought, “money is the #1 reason [...]

I listened to a speech given by Richard Dawkins last night on the strangeness of our universe and must say that it blew my mind. Here are couple of excerpts that I found interesting; give them a read and tell me if your jaw doesn’t drop.
1. Remember science class where we learned that an atom [...]
