2006 “End of Year Questions” Meme: A Blog Is Born, A Year in Ontario, and I’m A Librarian!

What did you do this year that you’d never done before? Got somebody pregnant! (Funny how you go your whole life trying to avoid that scenario and then, just like that, it’s the objective.)   Did anyone close to you give birth? My sister had a baby girl named Emmerson Raye.     Did anyone close to […]

"The nerd version of arguing how many angels fit on the head of a pin"

As I've mentioned before, my favourite web site on the Internet is MetaFilter – a community weblog where any member can post and comment on stories which range from technology to news to pretty much anything else you can think of.  The site has members from around the world who encompass all worldviews but tend […]

The Problem With An "I'll Post Everyday" Policy Is…

…sometimes you have absolutely nothing to say.  (I've got a fun one lined up for tomorrow though – promise!)  For some reason, this emptiness of ideas inspired me to check my stats. As I suspected, my number of “unique visitors” are down by about 2/3 from an all-time high right around that “50 Ways To […]

Friday Fun Link – Year-End Lists (Dec 29, 2006)

For the second week in a row, I'm sort of fudging the Friday Fun Link.  Last week, I did it by posting one video on LibrarianActivist and a different one on Head Tale.  This week, I'm repeating something I already posted here (an entry about year-end lists from a couple weeks ago) over there.  So […]

Blog Roundup

So it's 3:45am on December 28 and I'm back in my own bed after a few days of riding the sleigh around SE Saskatchewan (well, to Shea's parents in Weyburn, my parents in Indian Head then back to Regina today.) Right now, I'm surfing around to catch-up on my regular blogs and here's some of […]

Baby Guess Book – Virtual Edition

One of Shea's mom's co-workers made us a “Baby Guess Book” which is basically a scrapbook filled with baby-related clip art, poems, and a bunch of spots for family and friends to record their guesses about various aspects of our baby.  I thought I'd do a virtual edition and allow anyone reading the opportunity to […]

All I Want For Christmas Is You – Olivia Olson

Love Actually is right up there as one of my favourite Christmas movies of all-time and this song at the end of the movie is a big part of the reason why.  We're heading back to Regina tomorrow after a few days split between Shea's and my parents place so hopefully I'll get back to […]

I'll Be Home For Christmas

I was looking for a clip from a M*A*S*H episode set to “I'll Be Home For Christmas” because it has that perfect touch of melancholy that makes for perfect holiday music (see the Pogues clip I linked to earlier this month for the ultimate example.)  I couldn't find the clip I wanted (what?  Every single piece […]

Last Christmas – Wham!

If you thought the last two Christmas videos I linked to were guilty pleasures, how about today's selection?

Merry Christmas Everybody – Slade

My mother-in-law won't let me post pictures of her doing shots of coffee liqueur tonight so instead, another semi-obscure British Christmas tune…
