Running Silent

I’ve decided to shut down this blog, at least for the immediate future. I will be revisiting my decision as of May, but for the next two months I don’t envision any new posts. I’ll still check in and moderate any comments every so often, but, barring some major news event, this blog [...]

Xenophobia Rising

I’ve been meaning to write about this for some time now, but I really haven’t had the time to sit down and formulate my thoughts on the issue yet. I still don’t, what with assignments and the like, but I think its important to start the discussion on it now rather than leave it [...]

Moderation On

Okay.
I’ve put moderation back on. I’m not sure if I really want to put it back to how it was before. You see, its always the same stupidity.
I’m going to have to think about it for now. I can be reached at catchafirebda/gmail should anyone want to give their input [...]

Britain’s Stance On Tax Havens

Any thoughts on Britain’s stance regarding “tax havens”?

Race & Environmentalism

I just read this letter in the Bermuda Sun site, and I’ve decided to reproduce it in its entirety here for discussion as I think it is very relevant. This issue is something I’ve wondered about for a while now, and I think Ms. Eddy goes some way to addressing what the problem is. [...]

Bermudian Blogosphere Ecology

Just out of curiosity about the state of Bermuda’s blogosphere I’ve put together a few stats of this blog. I have no idea how they stack up with other Bermudian blogs, but I am curious about how the Bermudian blogosphere is developing. I thought these might at least contribute a little to an [...]

Still Kickin

Yeah, so, I’ve been slacking a little bit in my blogging of late. Had two assignments due over the last seven days both worth 30% of the respective courses and they took precedence over active blogging. I’ve been lurking all the same and enjoying the free-for-all that the ‘comment moderation is back on’ [...]

Flatts Village ‘Walk Through History’

I generally consider myself as being from Flatts, as I lived in the area for my teenage years and again more recently; also I’ve worked in the area for most of my working life. I also think its one of the most beautiful spots on the island and one full of history. As [...]

The London Office

There is – quite predictably – some criticism of the London office that the Premier, Dr. Brown, opened yesterday down in blizzard struck London. I’m actually surprised they went ahead with it on that date, from the pictures and reports it looks like London got hit alot worse than Edinburgh. Then again, weather [...]
