Burble Blog

Hello. I am back in the blogging business. I will be commenting frequently now on whatever topics interest me. Mostly my posts will be short and intended to stay up only a short while.

These posts will be linked to by twitter or instagram, e-mails, or sometimes my or other websites. My serious writing, stuff I want to keep up permanently, will be here briefly but posted elsewhere in an accessible archive.

The other big topic is the need to do something about one particular non functioning institution, the Ontario legal system. I have a special interest in that because I have had a problem with people using this system to attack me. It is a very complicated story but I think one of the best defenses is publicity.
