I’m a Dad – Random Thoughts About Sasha’s First Day (On Her One Week Birthday)

So as much as I’d like to just keep posting pictures of Sasha, eventually I’ve got to get back to blog posts that have “letters” and “words” rather than cute pictures. A good place to start would be with a look back at that first day, inspired partly by many of the notes I scribbled [...]

I don’t know if Ryan Meili will win the Saskatchewan NDP leadership race. But as one of his supporters told me recently, we’re not not just leading in fundraising, we’re leading in “fun” raising and “friend” raising. And win or lose, that’s the kind of campaign I’m proud to be a part of and the [...]

2012 “End-of-Year Questions” Meme

Later that day, I also came across this on Twitter – [...]

I Am (Not) Adam Lanza’s Mother

This blog post by the mother of a mentally-ill son, posted in the wake of the Connecticut shootings, was making the viral rounds.  Although I found it an interesting piece of writing with potentially some good points being made about the stigma of mental illness and the struggles of families trying to deal with it, [...]

I’m still continually amazed at Facebook as a communication tool and especially the varied ways that people use it, especially to share the most intimate details of their lives. (Is privacy dead?)

@ryanMeili Monday – Peeking Under The Troll Bridge #skndpldr

My colleague on the Meili 2.0 Team, Aaron Genest, has written a blog post about the level of animosity that he’s observed in the Sask NDP Leadership race so far. The topic of how we talk to (and about) each other has been on my thoughts as well for a variety of different reasons – [...]

During the last Sask NDP leadership race, I spent a lot of time analysing the social media aspects of each candidate’s campaign.
