Feedback
When interviewing candidates for teaching positions at my university, I often ask them how they provide and receive feedback in the workplace, to get a quick, vivid picture of their character and initiative. When you give clear and useful feedback … Continue reading

Election Day in B.C.
And it’s an “atmospheric river” event in Vancouver. Timing!
Is Kwantlen Student Association trying to kill student newspaper?
Seems bad. I trust these machinations, no matter who is behind them, will not be successful. My life is already too full of dismay (thank you very much). The editor of The Runner, the student newspaper, is interviewed here. Many … Continue reading

This sentiment, published in The Economist by Gabriel Crossley, has made my Sunday. Crossley notes that in China VPNs (“software which makes it appear as if a computer or mobile phone is located in another country”) have been “getting slower” … Continue reading
Counter
I have had truly unpleasant interactions with people I’ve known for years – including with those in academia – during these Olympics. Their loathsome disdain for transgenderism made them attack a non-transgendered woman, a boxer from Algeria, in giddy displays … Continue reading
