I’ve begun publishing some of my older articles on Knol, Google’s answer to Wikipedia (of sorts). I figured either let them rot on my hard drive or give ‘em to the world to enjoy. So world: enjoy!

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not someone who idolizes human beings, but I have always been admiring his work and his ability to stay above himself. I [...]
I was cleaning out my server when I stumbled across this site I created for some of my funky home-videos, ages ago (featuring often my parents, oddly enough). Back then when my editing skillz were mediocre to lousy, I did it all just for fun’s sake, and YouTube was but a site I’ve only heard of (thus [...]
I recently had the honor of writing the feature article for the fall/winter 2009 issue of the magazine InColor, published by the International Colored Gemstone Association. I had to dig deep into my knowledge of amber (of what little there is) and it’s history as relevant to the Caribbean, as well as do some very [...]
