Portal to Ian Chadwick's web sites, forum,
blog and miscellaneous writing
Welcome to ianchadwick.com. Herein are my pages and essays about Henry Hudson, tequila, Triumph
Motorcycles, William Shakespeare, hot peppers, Canadian unity, W650, Mexico,
Cuba, SUVs, sign bylaws, harmonica reviews, and more. Included are rants, raves, passions, nonsense
and sockdolagers, with a few interesting links and some educational brouhaha, by
Collingwood's former newspaper editor, and still resident curmudgeon and mumpsimus. Click
the links or the pictures to jump to the appropriate section.
Last updated: Feb 2013. All of my sites are
undergoing constant upgrades, changes and renewals. A new tequila site is
under construction for June, 2013. My rewrite of Machiavelli's The
Prince has
just gone live. If a particular page appears down or unavailable, please check back
again in a short while - it is probably just being rebuilt and will be restored
in a short time.
