Ishpatina Adventure

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

This post formerly titled ”Getting High on My Image”. 
Some readers have been wondering if there is any special meaning to the picture (which was formerly this one) at the top of this web page, over where the word “Firlapalooza” is superimposed.  Is this a stock image of a forest you foraged from the internet, or one of your very own?  [...]

Sunday’s Cool

Monday, August 28th, 2006

Last week, I had the opportunity to teach Sunday School at my church for the very first time, along with my friend Josh.  We started preparations about a week in advance, as we were asked to relate the story of Cain and Abel from the Book of Genesis to the group of children coming downstairs after the opening hymns were [...]

Sudbury Graffiti 2

Thursday, August 24th, 2006

Pursuant to my recent entry, I noticed that I overlooked a few of the graffiti stencils on my way through the downtown area.  There is only one instance (of which I am aware) of the inconspicuous black grenade shown in the photograph over on the left.  I am quite certain it went up around the same time as the group of tanks.  [...]

Sudbury Graffiti

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

Over the past couple of years, I have noticed the increasing presence of graffiti on both public and private surfaces here in the City.  Not just confined to the downtown area, I see it scrawled on suburban businesses and also on schools.  The majority of it takes the form of unsightly and uninspiring signature tags, as shown in [...]

Kids Those Days…

Monday, August 21st, 2006

As I talked about previously, there is a lengthy list of shows my impressionable brain absorbed permanently into its memory banks, long before I woke up and unhooked myself from the tube.  My brother and I have been continuing to toss back and forth these television shows’ websites on Wikipedia.  Here are even more classic (non-animated) kids [...]

They Said It Couldn’t Be Done.

Saturday, August 19th, 2006

It begins! 
I must say, that over the past month, during which I have been providing visitors to my on-line blog with entertaining observations and top-notch wit, I found that I quite enjoy doing the internet bit.  From my own hastily-established graphics-free page over at worldofsinclair.com, I carried out what could be considered a brief set rehearsal for the real thing, with a series [...]

Inversely…

Thursday, August 17th, 2006

One of my favourite verses of scripture in the Bible is found at Phillipians 4:8.  It is from a letter which the Apostle Paul wrote to provide encouragement and advice to the newly saved Christians meeting at the church he had established in Phillipi (an ancient city located in what is now southwestern Turkey), but [...]

The Socceratic Method

Monday, August 7th, 2006

So, at long last, I have finally displayed my full contingent of prefered football clubs, as per the links at the right-hand side (unless you surf the web sitting backwards, in which case, it’s your left).  Surely you are wondering, why do I support the soccer teams which I do?
Banik Ostrava: I was originally born [...]

I’ve Got Good News… and Bad News

Tuesday, August 1st, 2006

Some interesting developments I learned of recently on the climate change front.  First of all, be sure to check out the site of Tesla Motors, a start-up car company based in California which is working to develop a commercially-viable electric car that appears to look very promising, even offering solar cells on top of the [...]
