Most of you know my decades-long love affair with CBC (not with being a CBC–that's a wholly-different thing q:-D); but a story just now on the National, arguably a thinly-veiled expression of Envy, would have been a lot less Entitlement-of-the-West sounding in the context of Matthew 20's Landowner and Vineyard-workers parable… That without pointing out [...]
Note: I am rushedly entering some of this content before I leave to fulfill my Sunday obligation–which, having recently integrated the 1962 Usus Antiquior Latin Mass, as well as travel to my daughter's town to encourage her to meet her Sunday Obligation, fulfill multiple times by now, but haven't as of now, with the 19h00 [...]
Although I'd just finished my MBA@Mac in 2002, I've been busy learning "more and more about less and less," since beginning my PhD in Finance in 2009; though I intended just to peek and see what this was all about, I soon realised, "Not three hours ago, I suggested that we set a strong counter-example [...]
"Just as every crisis is an opportunity, so too is the flipside of every curse a blessing." Today's epiphany–thanks mom (Kathy Cheng for inspiring me to think it!). Now, this is another truism, but we take it so for granted that it didn't hit me until tonight! — with Kathy Cheng at ipv6.RobinCheung.ca.

Another email that made its way to my blog, that more than two might benefit from critically reading and considering what I note to be quite common… Because your (I call them, unaffectionately, "Ya buts," referring to those little rationalisations we tell ourselves and others that don't stand up to critical evaluation of any kind, [...]
Everyone: You might not be as accustomed to slogging through this kinda leisurely mind-exercising material as some others, so don't feel obligated to read this all at once (or ever, really). But do recognize that I thought since I had put some time into writing it down (again) that I'd share it with you–you can [...]
Hey everyone–one of the most useful aspects of the myriad filesystems available in Linux is their versatility. Logical volumes–recall that a logical drive is an abstract construct that behaves like a drive volume; similarly, a logical volume group is an abstraction from what we typically think of as storage media in the physical sense, [...]
The following is in response to http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/10/18/4chan_bashes_facebook_google_identity/ wherein Chris Poole advocates incrased anonymity: People should have the right to anonymize themselves online because data doesn’t die and people need to experiment online, he explained. Teenagers haven’t even sorted out who they are in real life yet, he said, and we shouldn’t expect them to do everything online [...]
The Internet doesn't need a licence to use it; back in the late 1980s when I first started my BBS and offered online services (as a Fidonet BBS, I–like Farcebook–required real names and was run completely above-board–something different when offered by a 12-year-old ) But now, we depend on the Internet for [...]

What initially attracted my attention about Mendeley (at the time, at Walden, our advisors, professors, mentors were largely focusing on encouraging us to use Zotero as a non-"web app" solution) was the potential to apply the social graph and underlying social networking relationship structures to something other than just one-liners about last night's [...]
