First Ever Major League Ball Game Played With No Fans Present Due to Baltimore Riots
I considered doing a post with some random thoughts about the Baltimore riots but then I realised there’s nothing I can say that others haven’t said better already – about the riots and about the first ever Major League Baseball “empty game”.
Monica Lewinsky: The Price of Shame
This TED talk has been making the rounds since being posted a week ago and is approaching one million views on YouTube. It’s very interesting for Lewinsky’s observations on being at the epi-centre of our now common social media world where everyone can voice opinions on the news of the day, often reaching huge audiences, […]
What Two Famous People Were Alive At The Same Time That Would Surprise People
Charlie Chaplin and 50 Cent. Neil Armstrong was 17 when Orville Wright died. Martin Luther King and Anne Frank were the same age. More…
#JeSuisCharlie (And Some Tangents About Language, The Nature of Offense and the Unintended Consequences of Trigger Warnings)
Trigger Warning: This essay contains ideas you might not agree with. You’ve probably heard about the terrorist criminal attack today in Paris that targeted journalists and cartoonists with a satirical newspaper, Charlie Hebdo.

The article points out the fact that our Christmas traditions have well-documented roots back to a pagan time, long ago, when people came together for a festival during the longest night of the year […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Hammond Family (circa 1950s?)
One of my cousins has received a number of old photos from her mother (my dad’s oldest sister). My cousin has posted a few of the photos that she’s digitized onto Facebook so the entire extended family can see them. Here’s one that has most of the Hammond family as it stood, likely sometime […]
A White Paper for Scotland (Guest Blog Post)
So I haven’t paid too much attention to the Scottish Independence referendum (I think my first real glimmer of awareness is when Ryan Meili picked “Better Together” as a campaign slogan a couple years ago and a team member pointed out we’d be working with the “No” side in the Scottish referendum in the world […]
