Atheist Advent Calendar – Day 3 – “Take The Risk of Thinking For Yourself…”
Christopher Hitchens is one of the patron saints of atheists. (Er, there’s probably a better way to describe him!) 😉
Atheist Advent Calendar – Day 1 – Introduction
In past years, I’ve often done a series of posts during Christmas week about atheism/religion/the Christmas holidays that are (hopefully) educational, humourous, thought-provoking or occasionally maybe even all of the above. Pace opened the first window on his Lego Advent calendar today and that made me think that the concept of Advent “a season observed in many Western Christian churches as […]

Various cool life hacks from Quora, Reddit, Buzzfeed, a whole Life Hacks web site – plus a list of unethical life hacks, also from Reddit. (I’ll have […]
How To Not Give A Fuck
An illustrated guide to not giving a fuck…
Music Monday – “You that never done nothin’/But build to destroy/You play with my world/Like it’s your little toy”
Red poppy or white poppy, hero or victim, holiday or not, the only thing that’s clear is that Remembrance Day means different things to different people and, as with my defence of Justin Trudeau, I feel like shouting “Nobody has the right to say how others should or shouldn’t interpret/celebrate/commemorate Remembrance Day!” Well, except me.

“Remember, Remember the Fifth of November” (This Isn’t A Movie Anymore; It’s A Warning)
Do you know the connection between Guy Fawkes, the movie “V for Vendetta” and the Anonymous movement? Or that today, was the Million Mask March at locations around the world? If you do, you probably also understand why a variety of worldwide movements and groups – from Anonymous to Occupy to WikiLeaks among others – are […]
Music Monday – “The memories we are amassing/Will stand as testament that somehow/We bent minds around the concept/That we see others within ourselves/That self-knowledge can be found on bookshelves”
This is really good… “Remember How We Forgot” – Shane Koyczan and Hannah Epperson
Neil Gaiman’s Love Letter to Libraries
The Guardian recently published an edited version of Neil Gaiman‘s lecture for the Reading Agency. The Reading Agency’s annual lecture series was initiated in 2012 as a platform for leading writers and thinkers to share original, challenging ideas about reading and libraries. The lecture is amazingly good. On the purposes of reading (and specifically reading fiction)… Fiction […]
