Me

I’m retired, in Ottawa, from a somewhat techie career. I’ve always been interested in politics, the arts, science. and sparkly things. You can expect a range of topics.

Content

Raven’s View - all my posts and podcasts.

Odds and Ends section - various interesting/sparkly things I run across, both to share them and encourage some deeper discussion. Musings on politics, religion, ethics - all fair game. Left of centre. In addition, I’ll do the occasional longer post on my main page.

Fiction section - I’m also a fiction author, in sci-fi, fantasy, and crime, so I’ll post some writerly things here, either my stories or pointers on crafting a story. My stories are from here.

Podcastings section - Me reading from my own stories or from some of the older (copyright free) classics, such as Stephen Leacock and Charles Dickens.

Comments are welcome, but keep them respectful and thoughtful. Contrary opinions are fine, but listen to each other, and respond with more than bumper-sticker pronouncements. My house, my rules; if needs be I do have a ban hammer ;-)
