I decided that I would celebrate my first anniversary as a Podcaster by giving myself a week off - deserved or not. Nevertheless, I couldn’t leave you without something. So, here is a quick thank you for being a part of a fantastic first year and for the contribution you have made to my show, along with my most recent promo.

I wish I could thank everyone who made a contribution to Electric Sky. I can’t. I’m afraid that I would leave names out. One person that must be singled out is my wife, Andrea, whose support, ideas and criticism has made Electric Sky a better program, and more fun and rewarding for me to produce.

April 29th marks the first anniversary of Electric Sky. So much has happened in the last year - it’s almost hard to comprehend. I’ve learned a million things and met a lot of great people that I now call friends.

To mark this milestone, I have relaunched my website with a new look and a revamped logo. Thanks to Nico for all of his hard work!

Nothing is more rewarding than making a difference in someone else’s life.

You can’t beat downtown Kingston (Ontario) for locally owned and operated stores and shops that have real style. It’s the only shopping district that draws me in. Zeal Metal is one of those great places.

Many of the new communications technologies that we all take for granted are the direct result of Canada’s contribution to communications and space research. I took my father, Dr. Bert Blevis, to the Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa (Canada) to see the Space exhibit and talk about some of Canada’s most notable success stories.
