Justin Trudeau on Quora

You probably missed it because it didn’t get much media attention but apparently Justin Trudeau recently announced he’s running for Liberal Leader. I’ll likely write more about that as it develops but for now, just want to highlight that Trudeau has an account on the popular Q&A site, Quora and some of his answers are particularly […]

Quora Questions Qaptured

I’ve mentioned Quora a couple times before.  It’s a community-based Q&A site built by two ex-Facebook employees that some project will be bigger than Twitter and Wikipedia. The site lets you follow different topics as well as individual questions.  This approach gives you a pretty high degree of personalization and the weekly e-mail digest of […]

Things That Are Societal “Constructs”

Been thinking about this a bit lately in a variety of ways – the “controversy” over gender fluidity/Drag Queen storytimes/”grooming”, the notion of what constitutes “professionalism” as I wear jeans and a t-shirt to work every day while having the most rat-nesty beard this side of Santa Claus, and then the above thought I saw […]

Saturday Snap – Life’s Too Short For Unsalted Butter

In light of yesterday’s post where I happened to share the screenshot a portion of a life advice article that said we should eat salted butter as life is too short for unsalted, I thought I’d post a pic I happened to snap at Safeway recently. Saying “life is too short for unsalted butter” may […]

YouTube Policy Changes – Censorship or Just Good Business Practice?

I think I’ve mentioned before that one of my highest marks in library school was, ironically, for the one class I took within our faculty but outside our department – a “History of Information” course that was offered through the journalism school. My final presentation in that class was about the future of online video […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – iPhone’s 10th Anniversary

Today is the tenth anniversary of the iPhone being released, perhaps the single most revolutionary product of my lifetime. There has been numerous models of iPhone in that time of course, each offering incremental and often transformative improvements. I got my first iPhone 3GS around 2009 – I was too cheap to buy one even […]

Some Thoughts on The Eve of #skelxn 2016 #skpoli

(I have no idea what the statute-of-limitations on being known as a “Meili guy” is but since I was such a vocal supporter of Ryan during the last SK NDP leadership race, I feel obligated to mention that everything in this post in my own opinion, no former Meili team members saw or approved this […]

Some Random Thoughts on the US Primaries #feelthebern #notmeus #nhprimary #berniesanders

So I’ve been watching both the Democratic and Republican campaigns leading up to last week’s first caucus in Iowa and today’s first primary in New Hampshire very closely. In all honesty, I might even be more engaged in the US elections then I was in last fall’s Canadian ones! I think this is because the […]

Music Monday – “I watch the ripples change their size/But never leave the stream/Of warm impermanence ” @rdio #rdio

“Changes” – David Bowie Rdio, a streaming music service similar to Spotify and Pandora but which is available in Canada (at least without requiring you to use a VPN or other sorcery to appear to be an American), recently released a major upgrade to their user interface. This was the second major change since I’d […]

Too Many Tabs Tuesday

Here are a few things that caught my eye this past week… What are the best new products nobody knows about? (Quora) How We Die – Then and Now: Comparing Causes of Death, 1900 v. 2010 (Infographic) What Radiohead Song Always Moves You To Tears? (Reddit) How Poverty Taxes The Brain (Infographic) Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” […]
