I’ve been saying it all along. I watched a clip on YouTube pirated from a DVD I own. The uploader added music, turned it into something new and wonderful. And that’s a breach of copyright on two fronts (derivative work and stealing music). But it made me so happy that I immediately loaded up iTunes… Continue reading “I Bin Sayin’ It.

Technology!
I’ve just spend an hour trying to solve a problem that was stopping me from logging in here to doing a quick post before I got on with the rest of my day. I solved the problem (which did exist). Sadly, it wasn’t the right problem, and I still couldn’t log in. Then, having eliminated… Continue reading Technology!
Prix Galien Goes To…Promacta!
Eleven or twelve years ago, Kevin spent his days working on making a little chemical compound that he hoped might one day help make sick people better. He told me that most people in his field go through their careers without inventing something that becomes a drug, but that he had a good feeling about… Continue reading Prix Galien Goes To…Promacta!
More Bicycling
We had reached that slow point on Saturday morning where Kev and Angus were starting to yawn, having been up for hours, and where Gregor was just finished breakfast, and where nothing much seemed likely to happen for the next hour or so. So I jumped into some clothes and took my bike out for… Continue reading More Bicycling
You Never Forget

Hummingbird!
I just saw a hummingbird, for the first time in my life. I was standing on the deck, about to come inside, when what seemed like two butterflies or a really big dragonfly flitted past me and paused at one of my flower boxes. When my eyes had focussed I realised that this was a… Continue reading Hummingbird!
Writing, With A Pen!
Well, I have taken down my 500 Words logo in the sidebar there -> because I haven’t been making an effort to hit my 500 words a day. I just haven’t been able to make the time, or the space in my brain. However, I have been writing over the past few days. I have… Continue reading Writing, With A Pen!
Silence is Golden
I’m getting grief from all sides about the lack of blog posts recently. I regret it, myself, but in my defense, it’s hard to concentrate on putting words together coherently — never mind coming up with an entertaining story — when there are two small boys around all day, and one large boy for part… Continue reading Silence is Golden
