Wednesday, June 18th, 2008I finally did it, I got my first tattoo. It is, in case you’re wondering, the constellation Scorpius.
Why Scorpius? Because I’m a Scorpio, but everyone seems to get the “M” symbol or a scorpion, so I wanted to be different (funny that).
Did it hurt? Oh yeah. But not as much as I feared. The stars [...]
Today is his birthday
Friday, June 13th, 2008Today is my Dad’s birthday. He would have been 72 today. He didn’t get to see any of us get married or meet his grandchildren. He didn’t get to see how much I love photography now, or how talented is granddaughter is at taking pictures.
Today, I’m remembering him.
I have a few of his favourite jazz [...]
Leaving Salt Spring for the last time
Monday, June 9th, 2008Yesterday I dropped off my kids on Salt Spring, for the last time. They are moving this week to Ontario, so after 8 years, yesterday was the last time I have to set foot on that island.
A touch sad, but sometimes you have to have a few “lasts” to make room for more “firsts”—and [...]
A Rite of Passage: Had my first heart scare last night.

And now the story…

Indiana Schools Punishing Kids for Being Poor
Thursday, May 29th, 2008Imagine this: Your class is going on a school trip to Washington D.C. Your parents can’t afford to send you, so you stay back (with some other kids in the same boat), but instead of spending the time learning about anything you play word search and Sudoku for days.
When your parents find out what is [...]

Thursday, February 14th, 2008One of the great things about coming back to b5 is that I am able to move this blog to their servers and get onto their ad program.
With this post, larixconsulting.com is going to be retired as my official URL. Yep, I bought this domain something like five years ago when I started as a [...]

I’d go for a literate president!
Monday, December 17th, 2007Brad Feld hopes the next U.S. President should be literate in science–Feld Thoughts - Should the Next President Be Scientifically Literate?–personally I’d go for a literate one.
Brad brings up a good point, though, basic literacy in science is terribly lacking. I’m not talking about the minutia of science that I picked up over the years [...]
