But where there’s a down side, there’s an up side too, and the upside of the junkorama that is the aftermath of moving is that you also find treasures that you’ve forgotten about. There was a time in early 2003 when I was unable to stop reading Fingersmith, and Alan was rediscovering his artistic talent. Looking for paper for mind-mapping the new book recently, I unearthed the results of that unlikely artistic collaboration. I took them to be framed, picked them up on Monday, and they are going to grace our bedroom wall as soon as one of us remembers to take the hammer upstairs. (I hope ...

They like sex so much, they spend a lot of time searching for it online. Go figure. (You can tell I’m about to delve into really highbrow, heady stuff here…) Researchers Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam recently published a book, A Billion Wicked Thoughts, detailing their analysis of 400 million searches they collected from the Dogpile search engine. Of those 400 million searches, 13 percent (55 million) were for erotic content. How did those 55 million searches break down? Let’s find out… but let’s also look at the methodology of these researchers to see if their findings are worth the paper that they are printed on. (If you think not, you’re probably right.) So here’s what people on Dogpile search for when it comes to sexual interests. N...

They explained how rubbing coffee grounds into your skin imparts caffeine into the cellulite thereby improving the circulation and drawing the toxins out. This is a great tip, except that rubbing coffee grounds on your skin does not impart any caffeine into it, and there are no toxins in cellulite. Cellulite is a normal secondary sex characteristic of women. It is the result of thin connective tissue in women’s skin. Massaging the cellulite (with coffee, tea, grapes, cream cheese, or chocolate frosting) pushes the fat back into the skin, temporarly improving the appearance. There is no science behind using coffee to treat this normal condition. Scient...

There were some interesting answers, including mentions of sites like ChemSpider and PubChem that are no drawing packages per se but do allow you to retrieve a vast array of molecular structures. Today, I thought it would be interesting to run a more formal poll on the question. You can choose up to 2 programs. If you check “other”, please let us know which program you’re using in the comments. If I’ve missed any popular ones off the list, someone please let me know.

My daughter and her partner agree to mind the smalls whilst I barricade myself in her bedroom to complete Nonna’s new housecoat. Secrets are a difficult concept to grasp at the best of times but I try anyway.“So listen guys!”“Wot?”“My job is to sew. Your job is to keep Nonna out of the bedroom.”“Why?”“Because I want it to be a secret. I don’t want her to see what I’m sewing.”“Why?”“So it will be a surprise.”“Surprise is badly.”“Some people like surprises. Nonna likes surprises. Do you think you could help keep her out……..distract her……something like that?”I note the blank stares as their sister lures them out into the garden with the far more interesting option of l...

That was the night Shawntel and I officially became boyfriend and girlfriend. How cheesy Seven years ago! Time flies. I remember one of the very first gifts I gave her was a drawing I made of a rose (I had carefully torn it from my sketch pad). Later, a 2-year old Lexi found the little rose drawing and ripped it up! She LOVED shredding things back then. Shawntel felt horrible, but I had no hard feelings. After all, Lexi was only 2. In honor of my wife here is a rose, also drawn by me, that can NOT be torn apart: That’s a fresh drawing, since I drew it today. Literally, just minutes ago. You inspired me enough to do just want to do it out of thin air. I was just going to come online and WRITE about our 7 year anniversary. On a really bad day, too (physically). That is...

Kitchen’s are fraught with dangers for the unwary and the ever so slightly paranoid. The motivation is clear and present, the desire to create something yummy but the overwhelming amount of angst that swirls around the kitchen soon have us both heading up the vortex. This is primarily due to my own ability to say the wrong thing at the wrong time and feed the OCD beast within. Throughout this exercise there is the underlying ghost of tactile defensiveness, the abhorrence of dirty hands. I think there may well be a smidge of this phenomenon in many of us. It’s the reaction we feel when the unexpected happens. We stroll along on our own sweet way, when out of nowhere we find someth...

Productivity is hampered without the use of my hand but the right one copes with the usual domestic tasks. After 22 minutes on ‘hold’ my patience wears thin. Supper is nearly ready. The children continue to play Wii. We conduct a limited conversation roughly along the lines of “come see our video that we made,” v. “in a minute, I just need to finish cooking.” We repeat this exchange once every three minutes. I sip tea from the second pot in the same time span, to whet my mouth for the silent curses of ‘hold.’ The musak on the telephone vies for my attention but the background musak from the Wii game, Swan Lake, massacred and digitally rejigged by the boys, is every bit as annoying, especially since the same ...

According to today’s Saanich News, Williamson was diagnosed with autism at the age of 5: While normally Pamela draws from her photographic memory, today she references a picture of herself at Disneyland to guide her drawing. The face, hair, arms, neck and torso take shape and colour in minutes - but she exercises her artistic licence by replacing the mouth with that of a robot’s. “Pamela is a silly goose!” announces the 15 year old. With a few clicks and drags of the mouse, she is transformed into Princess Jasmine from Disney’s Aladdin. Pam is crazy about Disney. Her family takes her several times a y...

Now 20 years old, Miller’s pictures are the illustrations for a book about her story by her mother, Eileen, The Girl Who Spoke With Pictures, which is published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers (Oregon). Today’s News-Review features an interview with Kim Miller and her mother: The dichotomy between Kim in real life and Kim on paper is evident throughout the book. As Kim grew older, she illustrated the obstacles she faced during her daily routine, such as sensitivity to noise. As a 12-year-old, she created a drawing titled, “Today.” In the picture, she has her hands over her ears, a word bubble from her mouth screams, “I can’t take it!” The crunc...

It shows the rate dropped by about 5 percent […] from 1,983 suicides in 2004 to 1,883 in 2005. You’d think everyone would be happy with such a drop, but no, people commenting on the study in the article continue to express caution, despite the decline. Also not surprising is the lack of anyone drawing any type of causal relationships in the article tied to the suicide rate decline. When things go badly, everyone looks to point fingers at a cause.
