I write about a lot of different things. So you don’t have to wade through stuff that doesn’t interest you, I’ve created specific blogs for each topic. You can subscribe to one or more topics, depending on how fascinating you find my viewpoints:
- I’m On A Boat is where I discuss canoes, kayaks, and things you do when floating on water. For instance…
- MNR Writes is writing about writing. How very circular! You’ll find news about my author activities, books I’ve published, and pieces I’ve written. For instance…
- R Programming Language is for the data scientists in the crowd. You already know who you are. For instance…
- Music is about my performance on the upright bass. For instance…
- Raspberry Pi is a single-board computer. Tremendously geeky and I try not to let out the magic white smoke. For instance…
Some recent blog posts
- Hello from Mark and Janell
As you’ve heard, Portland is a hellhole burning to the ground. This isn’t an easy reputation to maintain, so Janell and I have signed up to do our civic duty. - AntifaPDX™
Antifa and their un-permitted fires is a thing to be concerned about, but I wasn’t aware insurrectionist were paid. As of this morning I need a new gig, so I search job sites for “insurrectionist.” I find none. Maybe if I find Antifa they will know where to interview. - Music with Maddy
The best part of music is sharing that musical conversation with musical (and non-musical) friends. That’s why you should meet Maddy Ross. - Music with Nova
We’ve always meant to feature Nova for our May performance, but with our previous “dress rehearsal” we are really excited about what we can accomplish. In preparation, I’ve done research on the suggested song list and can share some trivia you’ll find interesting. - Is It Time To Unfriend Facebook?
My relationship with Facebook started as “In a relationship.” Now I find out they are pirating my writing. Honestly, it’s like a bad neighbor moved onto the block. How do you keep them from sneaking into your garage and borrowing your lawn mower?
Look forward to your blog. Old friends need to stay in touch.
Yes, we do!
Next time I’m local, let’s have a paddle and a beer!
