Google Calendar
Apparently you can embed your calendar on a web page…hmmm
According to the code it uses an iframe to put the actual calendar from google.
This one is actually one of my work calendars from iCal that google calendar subscribes to that I’ve in turn posted here…
Alberta Skies
3rd Pitch of Slicktion at Abraham Slabs, Nordegg… I love the Alberta blue skies…
by Request
People ask me
Enquire and nag,
Why and when
and what they rag.
You should, I will
I think, I say
I know, I am
That is, this way.
Create and solve
Repair, be quick,
Not that, like this
My god… you d___!
So now I write a verse or two,
and dedicate it to you know who.
Unlike the others who choose to demand,
She hints, she hugs and holds my hand.
On occasion of talents being noticed
Thinking & Criticising
When I first saw this I immediately thought of myself… I have a post-Doc fellowship in thinking critically and I never even read the book!
Cat Avatars
I was trying to make an avatar for my screen presence on RockClimbing .com and had submitted this image. Samantha was kind enough to pose for the web cam whilst I was using the Glow filter. Alas, the image was rejected as not being climbing-related so I leave it to you, the unseen web-browsing audience (at least those who have not yet been driven away by badly-mediocre poetry), to enjoy
Random Image of the Day
The family by one of the Whirlpool Point pines. These are some of the oldest trees in Alberta…somewhere around 1,100 years.
A New Book…
Create an Impression: Landscaping for Curb Appeal Our first book published by an outside writer. It’s pretty damn good too.
Bad Poetry
Bad Poetry is like a dull knife,
Dangerous, often misused,
Rarely fatal yet always painful.
Politics is like a dull knife,
Dangerous, often misused,
Rarely fatal, yet often painful.
Bad Poetry is like politics,
Everyone uses it, no one understands it,
We’re all too lazy to sharpen it.
This poem is like a liberal,
Sort of pointless, mostly innocuous,
Adamantly critical, inevitably ignored.
On reflection of being a life-long liberal and the owner of several dull knives

For car(men) wherever you may find them
Toyota, Dodge, Datsun, Ford
A metal machine, a macho overlord,Insensitive drivers, uncaring, obscene,
Driving us crazy, cursing their genesNoisy, obnoxious, expensive and careless
Pervasive technology, quintissentialy worthlessAutomotive desires are driving our days,
Credit ratings balloon, consuming our pay.But I want that car, that awesome machine,
Oh and this one as well, and that one I mean,
Off road and on track and highway carousing
With 350 horsepower, I’ll do without housing.I love my cars mercury and subaru,
Such a pity, you know, I can’t afford you.
