I know it has been a while since my last post, my only excuse is the tired, old stand by of “I’ve really been busy.” Since taking on the side job of Film Liaison over at Riverview I find that between liaising, my regular job and trying to finish of the 100-handmade TAOEX games, there…
BCIT ISSP Summer Project for 2018 – A Rarity from what I Understand

Here’s a thought for you. Mainstream media sounded the alarm bell for global warming and what has the result been? The creation of a do nothing, transfer of wealth, tax on carbon.
