When emails fail to save
No surprise that my op–ed hasn’t run yet: it was a half-baked, draft version.
It’s weird, because I edited the piece straight on the email program (Eudora 7) and saved it, then sent it to a contact at The Dominion Post.
I discovered today, when copying and pasting it to my own blog, that the very important additions that meant the difference between it being a self-promotional piece for my own...
Some mayoral graphics
While I wait to see if The Dominion Post will publish my op–ed (if it won’t, then I will), have some campaign graphics.

Technology failed me elsewhere
Tumbling because Vox.com has really pissed me off—I’ve tried combinations of three computers, two cities, two ISPs, two browsers. And I cannot compose, add photos, add videos or do anything except comment on my own and others’ blogs. The compose screen does come up, except it takes anywhere between 75 minutes (tonight) to days (last week), rather than seconds. No one at Vox.com wants to address...
