Sardines
Recently, my co-workers and I were bundled up and moved into a much smaller cozier office. What better way to start the new year than with… bunk beds for everyone! Pros 1) “The tin” is always warm. And not that soft, cozy, tea by the fire warmth but that real sweaty, sticky, wet blouse […]Read Post ›
Patience Ain’t In It
C’MON ALREADY! Oh! Spring! Oh Spring! Please do your thing, It’s time for you to show. Come Spring! Come Spring! We’ve had our fling, With ice cream cold and snow. On Spring! On Spring!

Things that make you think.
The animal kingdom is filled with interesting creatures that pose fascinating questions. Look at this beautiful Inca Tern. Who wouldn’t be pleased with a set of handle bars like that? What is a little puzzling is how the ends get waxed. If you have any ideas, I like to hear them?

An Infinite Ignorance
One particular problem looms large when I think about doing or learning anything new: There is so much out there, where shall I begin?
Today, I received/synthesized some understanding why this happens (to me). I overheard a comment of a participant on The Current (daily radio show on CBC) to the effect that learning happens on the edges of what we know.
I reflected back on ready of a couple decades past (Gleick, Chaos Theory) which revealed (invented?) the notion that coastlines are of infinite length because of the existence of fractals where the water meets the land: The more you zoom in on the intersection, the more detailed (and longer) the revealed coast is.
I think this is relevant to my awareness of how ignorant I am (and how infinite the starting points for any (learning) project). Sigh…
