Composting a Life

In recent weeks, I have been attempting to provide Jonathan Murphy with a background on my academic career. The end result was to rediscover my curriculum vitae from 2011 on my iMac desktop computer. I called Kyle Hackenschmidt at Bridgetown Computers. With his help, I was able to email the file to Jon at GoGeomatics.

The lesson is that either I keep current with the software on the iMac or I unload the files onto a thumb drive for future access. Clearly, my technology range is now restricted to the iPad which is the preferred environment for my blog.

As we age, we shed different parts of our life. This was reinforced by an excellent documentary, Coral Ghosts, as part of Earth Week on CBC.

It describes the work of Thomas Goreau, an impassioned marine biologist who uses his family’s extensive archive as a catalyst to save the world’s reefs. Pity, that every week is not Earth Week.

This afternoon, I stopped at the COGS Library and talked to Andrew Hannam. He showed me an excellent poster by a Cartography student which documents the lives of JB Hall and Major Church. It includes a map of Lawrencetown, showing where they lived in the village. Worthy of a stop at the Library.
