I’m the chairman of the bored… So I will be trying out a few new themes for the next few days. One thing I did not like about the last theme was how it limited my banner image (it had to be light or you could not see the “Earthpages” text). Also, it was narrow…… Read More I’m Bored…
The new look for Earthpages defines a new attitude and future direction for the blog. Instead of trying to be one of those glossy, ‘everything’s beautiful’ sites I thought it would be more real to depict things as they really are around the world today. The banner image is a shot of some cabins in… Read More Earthpages – A few ‘back to school’ tweaks
Earthpages began as a dream inspired in part by personal injustices suffered at the hands of a (perceived) crude maniac and also by my desire to do something positive before I take my leave of this dizzy yet dazzlingly beautiful planet. That’s quite a mouthful for an opening line. But trying to speak for the… Read More We just updated our Terms
You may have noticed that I reverted to an older WordPress theme for Earthpages.org. I generally like the change because it’s more pictorial. But one drawback is that News – 24/7 links are not immediately visible. Visitors need to scroll down a bit to see them in the right column. I could Tweet like crazy…… Read More Just a friendly reminder to check out the latest alt news at Earthpages.ca
Well, Thanksgiving is over in Canada and that always marks the end of summer for me. I realize it’s still a bit warmer in most of the US but up here we’re getting frost warnings and the like. That seasonal change always makes me feel a bit different and kindles a desire to make corresponding… Read More New Changes at Earthpages.org
I’d just like to thank all the wonderful, alternative, sometimes eccentric and ‘off the grid’ type of people whom I’ve gotten to know through the web. Sometimes I just get so sick and tired of the mainstream media I can’t watch nor read it. Most news anchors seem to be primarily promoting themselves. I guess… Read More It’s Thanksgiving weekend in Canada and…
Opinion – This article is from The Conversation. I’d just like to make the preliminary remark that although a pretty good piece, it has flaws. Ironically, some see scientism – like the kind promoted here – as a kind of oppressive regime. Instead of saying “research has shown” the author would have done better to… Read More Would you stand up to an oppressive regime or would you conform? Here’s the science | + Opinion
I was up ’till about 6 a.m. installing Linux on a very old computer that literally took hours to get the job done and updated. Awakened around 9 a.m. I find myself running on 3 hrs sleep. Not recommended! There’s no way I could comment on the news right now so I thought I’d just… Read More Do not attempt this at home!
Trying out a book Reader app, installing software, and posting thru the WordPress app for Android (which I don’t normally do). You can see the e-reader app, middle right. It’s called ReadEra and I am quite taken with it. The text is customizable, as is the background. I’m reading The Count of Monte Cristo, and… Read More It’s a long weekend, I’m taking it easy and…
As we coast into the last long weekend of the summer holidays I can’t help but remember how as a kid I used to feel a bit sad at this time. Every year I spent two enchanting months on a remote island in Georgian Bay, sans electricity, sans motorcars, sans telephones, and this weekend meant… Read More Just a reminder that the latest alt-news is at earthpages.ca (and lots of end of summer nostalgia)
