How grifters "debate"

How grifters "debate"

Vaccines: A Measured Response

What does Vancouver sound like during a Pandemic? - Part 1

With the shut down of a large part of the public life in Vancouver I noticed two major changes. 1. The air quality improved 2. My neighbourhood is much quieter due to less cars. But that wasn't the only thing. I no longer have drunk people hang out on the

Books Geostorm series (Book 1 - 3) by Bobby Akart Back in December I read Akart’s “Pandemic” series and though it was okay for the first 1 1/2 books before it became boring and in general was rather cookie cutter. Unfortunately with Geostorm there aren’t really any

Books SynCorp Saga - Book 1 - The Lazarus Protocol by David Bruns & Chris Porteau It is an interesting start to (another) “the world ends, but rich people and scientists can save us” narrative. I am cautiously optimistic that it does not become too formulaic but time will tell. The

Books Level Up Trilogy by Dan Sugralinov This was actually a surprisingly entertaining story. In some ways it is reminiscent of “Ready Player One”. What if you life suddenly turned into a Role Playing Game? Where you could level up stats, see other people’s stats and generally try to
