Naut’s Fabulous Sea Scallops Hors D’oeuvre...

In one of her recent posts, TAPS informs us that ‘this is the year of NOT showing pictures of your food to your friends on the internet.’ Well, this of course gave me the idea that I’m gonna make this exactly my year for showing pictures of my food to my friends on the internet, and those who are...

If I were Alan Turing...

Anyone who knows a little bit about math knows about the ‘Turing machine’, and also knows that it isn’t a real machine but, if you wish, a ‘mathematical thought experiment’, a theoretical device for computing anything, and if you’re interested, you can read up on it yourself – I’m not getting into...

Ice Storm...Part III

In lieu of anything else of interest (at least of anything nice of interest), a few more words and pics on our recent ice storm. First, the last few hundreds who were without electricity over Christmas and New Year were finally back on the grid as of this morning. This very dangerous event brought...

Disclosure – Yes, of course I have...

But I don’t do it now! ‘Okay,’ you ask, ‘so what have you done that you don’t do now?’ Smoke pot! (And other things...) ‘ OMG! And what brings this on?’ What brings this on and makes me think and post a few words about it is that as of today, January 1 st, 2014 AD, it is legal in Colorado to... Sign in to see full entry.

A stranger in the house...

This is a true story. I know that because it just happened, right here in this house. I’m sitting in my most comfortable chair, having a little sip and watching something on the tube – and if you must know what I was watching, it was “Jungle Gold”, which is a ‘reality show’ on the Discovery Channel...

Time revisited?

Some of you (very few!) may remember my series about Time, that I did a few years back. I had fun with it, and at least two or three of you did too. My basic position was that time is an illusion, and I tried to show, as much as one can do it in a venue such as this, that the scientific evidence for... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning, Blogiteers and Blogitesses

Being preoccupied with Christmassy things, I haven’t been around much at all over the last few days – did you miss me? Now, you don’t have to lie, LOL... You know how it goes: visitors come and go, and one also engages in visiting, and all that eating and drinking, especially the latter, and then... Sign in to see full entry.

I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.

And while enjoying the warmth, the togetherness, the Church services and the festive dinners in the bosom of your families, spare a thought for those hundreds of thousand who will be without electricity over Christmas because of the ‘Ice Storm’, both in the U.S. and in Canada. In Toronto alone there... Sign in to see full entry.

Ice Storm...Part II

Yesterday was strangely fractured, as broken as many of the trees in our street. Shortly after I finished writing and posting Part I of this mini-series, the power went off...came on again half an hour later...went off again...and so it continued through the day, a day under a cloud cover so thick...
