Last year I was one of the oldest bloggers in this contest - and I haven't got any younger. I have had a long and varied career that ranges from stoking a steam boiler to building Linux based application servers. I am now a partner in a small web development business. Along the way I have learned a few things. Like, there hasn't been a good song since the 70's, Janis Joplin will live forever and the only true Corvette was a 1964 split window coupe. To paraphrase Trooper - I am here for a good time - not a long time.

However, I was watching “The Empire of the Word” on Knowledge, BC’s public supported televisions. I was reminded of the impermanence of the [...]

Are maps “Cool”? Throughout history maps or lack of them have led to the rise and fall of civilizations. They have changed the way we think about the world. And, are now poised to change the way we think about the universe.
