If you’re going to try to scam me, at least spell the name of my blog correctly. It’s a small thing, really, and more of a nuisance than anything else, but it does appear that blogs and websites that offer questioning, rethinking or “dissident” POVs on HIV and AIDS have been selectively targeted for a [...]
Note: Speculation by some of my more rabid critics of my impending death just because I haven’t blogged for awhile is greatly exaggerated. My muse has been on vacation while I have been in one of my reflective modes (read: dealing with fatigue) lately. To tide my more avid readers over, here is a post [...]
I’ve written before about my interest in geeky stuff like the Alexa website rankings. A fellow AIDS dissident turned me on to Alexa last year, using it to point out how many Dissident websites and blogs there are out there, and how favorably many of them rank, especially compared to those websites that exist solely [...]
A few days ago I wrote about just two recent media reports of contradictory scientific findings that try to explain how the human immune system works. The point was that science does not yet have a unified theory concerning either the immune system, or even the very nature of viruses. It is difficult to understand [...]

No one wants to see the grave of a loved one disturbed. It’s dishonorable, distasteful, and usually illegal. That is exactly what happened this weekend though. There is a page on my blog called “the graveyard”, a list of dead friends that I published as a response to those who claimed that every time an [...]
Most of my work the last few decades have involved that interface… that point of contact between human beings and the computer. I’ve written previously about my earliest experience with computers in the 1970s, while still in high school, where I advocated for the first computer programming course at Colby High School. We ran our [...]
Please pardon me while I toot my own horn for just a minute because I’m pretty excited about how quickly a few tweaks have improved the visibility of my blog. Online blogging platforms, such as WordPress and Blogger, and social networking sites like facebook have made blogging quite the simple task for many people. Unless [...]
My artist brother Gordon helped me update my logo and avatar so it has a much more pleasing, stylized look for use online. The original tattoo can be seen in a previous post about how this particular icon, which I call “somos uno“, came into being. As much as I love the tattoo on my [...]
