I wasn’t expecting to plug my physical planning course via this site but today’s lecture brought forth some interesting media tidbits. The course is taught by the VP of the 7500 employee architectural firm HDR|Mill & Ross Architects , who has also apparently become somewhat of a minor celebrity in Kingston through is rather experimental [...]

Includes Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), Cu Chi Tunnel networks and the Mekong Delta .   I’m slowly catching up with my photos but I still have hundreds (maybe thousands) from Japan, Russia, the Baltics, and the Balkans. Technorati Tags: photography, traveling, vietnam

The Homecoming tradition is not much of a tradition in Canada…in fact, if one considers Wikipedia to be the all seeing, all knowing authority on anything and everything then there are only really two Canadian institutions that observe this phenomenon.  Queen’s and Western…and I happen to find myself at one of them. Homecoming is a [...]

For the time being I’ve opted against purchasing Internet for my apartment largely because of the expense incurred for just one user and the fact that SURP has a very decent connection and wireless is available all over campus.  This means I can’t browse the headlines in the morning or in the evening (unless I’m [...]

How wireless communication should be (and is – in most of the sane world) Purchase any mobile phone model of your choice…preferably the GSM SIM card variety.  You can have as little or as many features as you should want.  You can buy new, you can buy second hand, you can steal it. You can [...]

Some new vocabulary I picked up courtesy of the very academic read that is Peter Hall’s Cities of Tomorrow . apologia – a formal defence or justification gordian knot – an excedingly complicated problem or deadlock acerbic – sour or bitter in taste doggerel – crudely or irregularly fashioned verse, often of a humorous or [...]
