I pick up the phone to call my Grandma, realizing that I haven’t spoken to her in almost two months now. As I call, I silently scold myself for not having thought to call earlier. At eight pm she is probably already fast asleep. The phone rings three times, and then she picks up.
- Hello?

Sueños
Posted in Spanish, Thoughts, Writing, tagged dreams, philosophy, sleep on November 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The Spanish word sueño can mean both sleep and dreams depending on how it is used. In English we separate the two from each other, so I wanted to play on the idea that dreams are perhaps a separate world that can influence events in waking life. Sort of like a butterfly effect or chaos [...]
WHO on HIV/AIDS

Religion or Science?
Which will stop the spread of HIV/AIDS? (read this article to help you decide). I can’t decide if I should laugh or cry…
From the World Health Organization website, for those of you who, like myself, were curious:
Kevin M. De Cock, MD, is the director of the WHO Department of HIV/AIDS, a post to [...]
My Super Power of Choice – Teleportation
Posted in Funny!, Science and Technology, Thoughts, tagged teleportation of atom quantum information on February 3, 2009 | 2 Comments »
One of my favourite questions to ask people is: If you could have one super power what would it be and why?
I always say teleportation. Some people choose to be invisible, or to fly, but I think teleportation would be the best. In an instant I could be anywhere I wanted to be. I would [...]
Pretty Loaded

This site is one of the most interesting sites I have come across in a very long time. As the name Pretty Loaded suggests, it is actually an archive of loading pages from websites, which as technology improves have become a thing of the past more often than not now. So slow down, and take [...]
New Year, New Resolutions. Six Goals.
Posted in Friends, Thoughts, tagged new years resolutions, six goals on January 6, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I have never been one for resolutions, but for some reason this year feels different. I am really excited about this year, I have a very good feeling about it, and I think that perhaps making resolutions could just add a little bit of spice to it.
I was going through some of my old files [...]

Butterfly.
What comes to your mind when you hear the word butterfly? Probably something beautiful.
I saw a really cool butterfly in Colombia that had clear wings… you could see right through them! How amazing is that? Lepidoptera is an order of insects that includes butterflies and moths, so they really are genetically speaking, quite similar.
Now, [...]
Tone and Voice in Writing
Posted in Friends, Thoughts, Writing, tagged long sentences, matthew cheney, short sentences, the length of the sentence, writing tone and voice on December 14, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I was wondering what sort of ideas people have on the importance of tone and voice in writing. I personally find short sentences to be very cold and unfriendly, and find that I am more likely to interpret their content as negative even when it very well might be meant as positive. Does anyone else [...]
