2013-03-27 – Seven Things In My Brain This Week

Finding the A&W at the Cornwall Centre food court closed for renovations tonight, a co-worker suggested that we should “nationalize the fast food industry.” I helped a visually impaired patron mix up a protein shake the other day.  Now *that’s* customer service! If politics is like sport, losing the leadership race by 44 votes is [...]

Music Monday – “L’Odyssée de la Vie”

No words for me to quote in the title of this week’s post like I usually do.  But the epic choral and instrumental music is a perfect soundtrack for this awesome video as Shea and I are down to around a month or so until our baby comes!

Music Monday – “And who by brave assent/Who by accident/Who in solitude/Who in this mirror”

@ryanmeili Music Monday – “We had a lot of fun/We had a lot of money”

As I continue the transition from a blog that was “all politics, all the time” for much of the last six months to one that’s back to being a bit more balanced between the posts about libraries, technology, family and yes, still the occasional political post, I thought I’d start by resurrecting one of my [...]

Friday Fun Link – Beards Keep You Young, Healthy & Handsome Says Science #skndpldr

As we head into the first day of the Sask NDP Leadership Convention, I thought I’d post a fun article (h/t to GG) on behalf of the members of Team Meili, most of whom who are of the Y chromosome persuasion, will be sporting beards of varying degrees of length and lushness this weekend. Very [...]

Dr. @ryanMeili is Putting the “Hospital” in “Hospitality” at the #skndpldr Convention ;-)

For some reason, the campaign didn’t want to use that “putting the hospital in “hospitality” line” for their invitations and instead went with something classy and dignified as befitting the next leader of the Saskatchewan NDP.  Can you imagine? Anyhow, if you’re in Saskatoon for convention, why not stop by Ryan’s hospitality suite (and those [...]

Tune in for the rest of the week for seven crazy nights of fun! To start it off, let’s [...]

Conception to Birth Visualized

Other than the fact that the scientist presenting this TED talk should know better than to hint that the complexity of human evolution as being so amazing that it evokes divinity, this is a pretty cool video… (A bit more on the idea that just because something is complex, that means it must be divinely created [...]
