I’ve moved this blog from server to server and blogging platform to blogging platform over the past seven years. In the process of moving its contents about, the archives from May through October 2004 went missing. After looking about my backup files for months, I found and restored them, and you’ll find them in the “Archives” links in the sidebar.
Notable articles from the “Missing Months” include:
- Appearing in Today’s “Globe and Mail” (October 23, 2004): In which my engagement to the Ginger Ninja gets published in Canada’s National Newspaper.
- Non-Academic Lessons I Learned at Crazy Go Nuts University:
- Lesson 1: There are Three Kinds of Men in the World.
- Lesson 2: Ten Incredibly Valuable Things I Learned from my Good Buddy George
- Lesson 3: Chemistry Really Isn’t My Area of Expertise
- The Breakup Style of PowerPoint (July 30, 2004): Edward Tufte wrote about how PowerPoint’s misuse is killing presentations; I write about how it might be changing the way we break up.
- Granddad’s Blog Entry (May 31, 2004): A couple of entries from my grandfather’s diary – a decalogue of his personal principles written in 1935 and a letter to himself he wrote in 1938.
- Almost 30 Years Later and I Still Don’t Belong (May 26, 2004): Some jackass on a right-wing blog says that immigrants have no idea what it means to be a real Canadian; I tell some personal stories that say otherwise.
