So, one of my recurring dreams is that I’m swimming across the Atlantic Ocean (yeah, I know) and I’m up on the surface of the water but it’s perfectly clear so I can see a massive amount of fish, sharks, whales and all sorts of other aquatic creatures below me. When the dream recurs, it’s […]
I resemble some of these remarks… Where do atheists find meaning in life? Like a majority of Americans, most atheists mentioned “family” as a source of meaning when Pew Research Center asked an open-ended question about this in a 2017 survey. But atheists were far more likely than Christians to describe hobbies as meaningful or satisfying (26% vs. […]
First, my wife and I took our daughter to her art class where she created and learned with about ten other kids… Before her class started, we went into the centre’s art gallery to check out the latest installation. We enjoyed this show with a handful of other people who were in the gallery including […]
I was thinking about making my own list but this YouTube video captures most of what I’d put on my list fairly well. I’m especially intrigued by the way Covid is going to change the workplace/increase acceptance of work-from-home for those who can do so…
There’s a lot of reasons to not believe in God but the “Argument From Poor Design” – basically a list of reasons a perfect creator still put a bunch of useless/poorly designed parts into human beings and other animals is one of my favourites.
Pretty good summary of the recent volcanic eruption in the south pacific…

Luckily, there are lots of adherents of […]
It’s such a tough time to be alive. Something that seems like it should be straight forward – buying N95-style masks because you want better protection against Omicron – could have all sorts of issues with sub-standard quality, even if purchased from legitimate retailers. Or the conflicting information that’s out there – for example, if […]
One of the hardest things about the pandemic is trying to keep up with the latest news/developments/theories (and the fact these are ever-changing gives a lot of fuel to anti-vaxxers which is a different discussion.) Even as a trained librarian who’s pretty obsessively following the latest in Covid news, I’m the first to admit I […]
