Fri, 14 Nov 2008 09:03:35 -0600
It was only after reading the comment Renata left at Flickr that it occurred to me to look into the science behind why I felt compelled to take a photo of the full moon last night: at this time of year (though more so in October) the moon is at its perigee, or closest approach [...] - St. Christopher?s Rally, 1953
Mon, 10 Nov 2008 15:02:38 -0600
It’s been a while since I posted something from the family photo archives. An aunt in Canada recently sent my mother this 1953 photo take at the annual car rally held on or around its eponymous saint’s feast day (July 25) by the St. Christopher’s Anglican Church in Siparia, Trinidad. My mother recalls that the [...] - links for 2008-11-08

“So long as we can call (sic) get fired, Radio will never be free.” So went the anonymous e-mail message I received last night. Did the sender of this message so desperately need to vent his/her feelings about Prime Minister Patrick Manning’s visit to radio station 94.1 FM that any Trinidad and Tobago-identified entity with the [...] - links for 2008-11-07

Technorati: State of the Blogosphere 2008 (tags: blogging blogosphere trends research) - The buzz on the US election, courtesy you and me
Thu, 28 Aug 2008 08:56:12 -0500
As every news story about the world’s fascination with the 2008 US election race has reminded us, US politics have an effect that reaches far beyond that country’s borders. That’s something, however, of which we in the Caribbean region?where remittances from the US-based diaspora form a significant percentage of several territories’ GDP and skyrocketing crime [...] - links for 2008-08-27

Lisa Allen-Agostini, writer and co-editor of Trinidad Noir - Update on fundraising efforts for Jeffrey Chock?s surgery
Wed, 20 Aug 2008 18:17:24 -0500
As promised, here’s an update on Trinidadian photographer Jeffrey Chock’s condition. As luck would have it, Jeffrey left two messages today on the Friends of Jeffrey Chock Facebook group page, so this info is from the horse’s mouth: “Thanks to all of you for caring enough to ask after my health after looking at the Reaper [...] - links for 2008-08-20

Sun, 17 Aug 2008 14:38:00 -0500
I learned a few days ago that Trinidadian photographer Jeffrey Chock has fallen seriously ill on a trip to Canada, and is in urgent need of surgery. The estimated cost of that surgery, from what I have heard, is around TT$300,000 (US$48,000). The information I have about Jeffrey’s medical condition is third-hand, so I hesitate [...] - A visa fantasy
