This week was mainly occupied by the first phase of my farewell to NDL|GDS tour – spending three days (ish) in Whitechapel. Honestly it was really nice. I bumped into a bunch of lovely people, had some really interesting conversations, overheard some useful stuff, ate some great grub, went out for a (alcohol free)...
Aided by a grant from the City of Charlottetown Heritage Incentive Program, we’re on a multi-year program of replacing the windows here at 100 Prince Street. Two years ago it was the bottom four facing the street; this week it was the top five. Here’s the finished job:The windows are Marvin Elevate ones, and they...
[Everything is so exhaustingly stupid.] Speaking of terrible things that have stuck in my mind1, I’ve been hung up on something I read a few weeks ago. Following Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s moronic reference to “DEI bike lanes”, the Department of Transportation began stripping evidence-based tools and...
Link: TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA | Official Trailer | In Theaters August 7 My favorite pieces of art make me understand and appreciate things I’ve never cared about before. Horror is not my film genre of choice, but I saw Jane Schoenbrun’s slasher film Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma a week ago and...
Searching on the web has become a daunting task, one I can't seem to do as well as I used to.

In a recent episode of EconTalk, with guest author Stewart Brand, Stewart had a throwaway line I loved. The exchange went like this: Russ Roberts: Yeah, I said when I was running, I was paying attention. I think the better word might be 'vigilance.' Stewart Brand: Good word. Russ Roberts: And, when you're in danger,...
From July 30 to Aug. 2, 2026, PulpFest 2026 was held near Pittsburgh, again at the DoubleTree in Mars, Pa. This was my fourth time attending. I again made a point of arriving Wednesday night to be able to experience the con from Thursday through Saturday. In addition, there were three associated events. There was […]
A timelapse of driving our RV, a Tiffin Allegro Bus motorhome, 273 miles / 439 km, about five hours of driving, from Azouzetta Lake Lodge & Campground in Mackenzie to Stampede Campground in Williams Lake, British Columbia, Canada, continuing to return home to assess our truck.
I’ll keep the prologue brief today. The Japanese version of Police Quest II was redrawn to give characters neon hair and big eyes. I wouldn’t call the look anime, but it’s obvious that the changes were made to sort of try to make it look anime-ish, though the effect is more like they were trying to parody the anime...
For regular bear blog readers here this may be useful. If you see a dash and PO at the end of a title of a post you’ll know it’s a poetical rather than prose. It might contain a bit of prose but for those who don’t go on poetics you’ll know to skip it! It’s slightly prompted by Robert Birming’s recent post about...
