A Crock of Schmidt

Single-handedly solving nothing

Hey Nostradamus! by Douglas Coupland – review

February 28, 2017 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

This is a first for me, a review of an audio book.  That may not seem like a noteworthy distinction, but I’m growing ever more convinced that it is.  I’ve been listening to audiobooks off and on for a few months now.  They’re handy when out walking or doing some chores around the house and […]

Willful Blindness by Margaret Heffernan – review

December 19, 2016 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

My 2016 Leacock Medal Challenge

May 11, 2016 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

I’m about to write something incredibly insulting to a great number of people who are complete strangers to me.  I will post this on the internet where such screeds are, shall we say, plentiful.  Please do bear with me, for my statement is not borne of hubris or disrespect but is rather wholly a product […]
