While we made it through the holdidays. Family came to town and then dashed back to the big smoke. They will be missed. The baby kept growing and got lots of presents. Her eyes have turned blue and she is now focusing and interacting with her environment. Everyday is new and exciting. The feedings in the middle of the night not quite as exciting. :-)

Lots of snow, for vancouver at least. There have been some beautiful moments of the winter light bathing the downtown vancouver towers with the snow covered coastal mountains in the background. The one day we leave the digital camera at home.

Was out a couple mornings in a row before everyone was up. The silence that snow brings is great to experience - even in the middle of a city.

Dropped by the downtown public library today to return a book. Still love that building years later. Inside, the essence of civil society. A library packed to the gills with people from all parts of the city. Public knowledge and public access. You won't see it on global television but it's still going on.

Signing off for today a link picked up through Slashdot.

(This essay is about heresy: how to think forbidden thoughts, and what to do with them. The latter was till recently something only a small elite had to think about. Now we all have to, because the Web has made us all publishers.)
