The third iteration of my site coincided with the start of the Snowflyzone name in 2002, and I’ve stuck with … Fifteen years online – images included
Congealed isn’t the right word, but I wanted to write it. I once worked at a place that was overrun with meetings. Every hour of every day was scheduled by someone for something and more often than not we barely accomplished anything. Now that I run my own show, I’ve been able to be very … Meetings congealed
With the successful launch of Space X today comes the wave of privatization of space travel. Space X is making a simple delivery of meals and clothes and student science experiments to the International Space Station, but what’s coming next?

I partnered with Dr. Christie Rowe at McGill University in Montreal. The students had an assignment to write a Geology-format paper on a controversial topic in … Design meets Science at McGill University
