Canada is not a "free society"
March 24, 2010
That's all I have to say to Eric Michael Johnson's post, Ann Coulter, Hate Speech, and Free Societies. OK, seriously, from what I recall Eric is an American, though resident in the forgotten north. American absolutist stances on free speech are not shared by most Western societies, so demanding…

Artist: Jim McCall, Elastic Media. Here is the recipe: First, gather as many ingredients as you can from your garden. In our garden, I found multi-colored…
Hell Yeah, Hubble!
It wasn't all that long ago that I wrote a five-part series on Hubble's old camera, WFPC2. I call it "The Camera that Changed the Universe." Part 1 focused on Hubble showing us just how deep, rich, and full of wonder our Universe is. Let's remember how this happened.
