    My blog is 19 years old

    My son pointed out to me that my site just turned 19. 🎂 My first post was way back on 6 December 2004. 19 years just creeps up on you when you least expect it!

    Light at the end of a short tunnel

    I went for a walk to do some shopping this morning. One of the cool benefits of our new city center is a convenient, short tunnel to the mall. It was nice to be out, roaming around the city a little, even with a mask taped to my face (it stops fogging up my sunglasses!).…

    Facebook-fed blog someday?

    Chris’ reference to a means of linking his site to Facebook touches on something I thinking about this morning. Even though you can export your Facebook data into what seems like a nicely presented, local site of sorts, I’d like to be able to basically parse my Facebook timeline, and somehow migrate it to a…
