…like when I see a video like this:

Music Monday – “For years they’ve been married/Not one day of trouble/Got two happy boys/Good luck/Daily double/Love to dance with each other/Say they live in a bubble”

I’ve written about Sam Baker before – a Texas singer-songwriter whose ultra-streamlined literary style and unique vocals have drawn comparisons to Leonard Cohen: Baker captivated me. His songs are closely observed narratives of eccentric and marginalized people finding meaning in seemingly defeated lives–almost like Leonard Cohen’s, if Cohen had been a Baptist raised in West [...]

Sasha: Two Months in Two Minutes

I did this for Sasha’s one-month anniversary but that was cobbled together quickly and didn’t have dates or even every daily photo that I had in those first 30 days (I was working with limitations of the iPad software I used to make the video.) Anyhow, I’ve done something similar for her two month anniversary and like [...]

One From The Archives – Jason Interviewed on Medicine Hat Local Access in 2002

Found this clip buried in a folder on my hard drive… One thing I’ll always remember about this trip to a writing event I helped organize in Medicine Hat in 2002 – why do event organizers (even other writers who should know better!) often provide a huge meal right before an event when the energy [...]

Music Monday – “And that Holy Water, that you soak in is then poisoned/When everyone else Is more comfortable remaining voiceless/Rather than fighting for humans/That have had their rights stolen”

Hip hop isn’t always known for its sensitivity around issues of misogyny and homophobia  so this song, written in support of efforts to legalize same sex marriage in Washington State, is a welcome change… “Same Love” – Macklemore and Ryan Lewis

Music Monday – “Here’s a hymn to welcome in the day/Heralding a summer’s early sway/And all the bulbs all coming in/To begin”

“June Hymn” – The Decemberists

Getting Excited for @TEDxRegina #yqr

Went to TEDxRegina last year and am excited to be going again this year.  Plus, unlike last year when I went on my own time, this year my employer is funding me plus a few other colleagues to attend.  Yay! That is *exactly* what I was saying last year about how libraries need to ensure [...]

Music Monday – “How I wonder what you are/Up above the world so high/Like a diamond in the sky”

A pianist uses a popular children’s song to do a very cool demonstration the past century of recorded music… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jDR14y19fQ

Sasha is One Month Old!

I’ve been taking at least a photo of Sasha every day since she was born. I’d seen various videos made from daily pics of babies, kids and others over the years but didn’t put a lot of thought into doing this with Sasha until, oh, pretty much the day she was born. While hanging out [...]

The Dangers of Vertical Video Syndrome

I, too, used to do this… …until I realised there was a better way. For the love of Dog, people, turn your camera phones sideways!
