Refer Madness

Over the years, I’ve occasionally posted about some of the  search terms that were bringing people to my blog.  I did this once a few months after starting my blog in 2006 and again during the 2009 NDP Leadership Race and probably a few other times as well. I thought it might be interesting to re-visit the [...]

Under the leadership of new CEO (and former Google #3) Marissa Mayer, Yahoo! [...]

2012 “End-of-Year Questions” Meme

1. What did you do this year that you’d never done before? Saw a photo of the brain of someone I know! Shea’s nephew has had a variety of health issues for the past five years including numerous seizures. This year, he was taken to Vancouver for some operations to address these, as yet, undiagnosed [...]

Meili Monday – A Political Disclaimer #skndpldr

I usually do a “Music Monday” post at the start of the week. But since the SK NDP Leadership has just started, I thought it might be fun (and alliterative!) to give over a few of my Mondays in the coming weeks and months to some thoughts on the race, Ryan Meili’s campaign and other [...]

Botox Blog Update

I made a reference to my blog undergoing botox treatments yesterday which was more than a bit intentional as I have indeed restored some youthful vigour to this blog. After starting my first blog on the Blogware platform at blog.jason.hammond.net back in 2006 when I was in library school, I ended up with two blogs after [...]

The blog is dead. Long live the blog!

It's been a good run but after four and a half years of nearly daily posts chronicling everything from my time at library school to the birth of my son to dozens of single link posts to all manner of technology stories and silly YouTube videos,  the time has come to finally move this blog [...]
