| Occupation | Former Library Technician |
| Location | Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada |
| Introduction | A devoted son, on disability himself, trying against seemingly insurmountable odds to honour a nearly 30-year-old promise to his cherished mother to take care of her and NOT abandon her in a nursing home against her will.
In general, a little known guy with lots of ideas about how the world should work, a few of them actually useful and practical. |
| Interests | Multi-faceted. For a longish A-Z list (I am such a cataloguer nerd) you'll have to see the Note "Interests" in my Facebook. I'll have to work on that in the future. |
| Favorite movies | Far too many. Of the recently seen as video: Citizen4, Rosewater, Guardians of the Galaxy. |
| Favorite music | Everything but country and heavy metal. Today: Billy Holiday. |
| Favorite books | Things most people have never heard of and would never read. ;-D Right now, I am reading Ghost Boy by Martin Pistorius, a fascinating true story of a youth trapped inside his own body, reminiscent of Awakenings. |
Why does the color blue mean raspberry-flavored?
This reminds me of the Nelson Goodman thing on language ... or was it Chomsky? Blue dreams furious green. Gotta look that up now ... Okay done. Confused 2 different things: Nelson Goodman on blue-green (grue, bleen) and Chomsky's famous "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously". Now if I could only find which linguistics text at home I read the latter in I could sleep properly. Argh!
