For the most part, I've really enjoyed being on the road for the past month and a half (with one month still to go roughly). In fact, I'm thinking that if I don't find a position when this contract ends, I might just offer myself out as a “Internet & computer training consultant” to other […]
I posted an Obama video a few days ago which featured one of his speeches set to music by Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas that was called “Yes, We Can”. Now, someone's done a parody featuring the very frightening words of John McCain… (via Reddit)
If you're an MLIS student or recent grad, I encourage you to enter this contest. (I can't tell you how much fame and fortune I've gained by being a runner-up last year! That does remind me – I better spend my CLA gift certificate for free swag before it expires!)— Dear Students: CLA is […]
Nothing says romance like going to see an awesome independent country-rock artist like Roger Marin Jr. Check him out on February 14 if you're reading this in London (or click the link to see his other dates around SW Ontario.)

I assumed they were […]

– saw two moose (meese?) right beside the road but behind a fence on my early morning drive to Rocanville (one of our most distant communities at 2.5 hours) this morning. A pretty rare sight (for me anyhow but then again, I don't hunt) so I actually briefly thought “Those are some weird looking cows!” […]
Cue the “anal retentive librarian” stereotypes… I’ve kept a list of every book I’ve read since 1996. I was recently thinking about who my favourite authors are and instead of just picking the first names that came to mind, I thought it would be interesting to sort that list by author then record everybody whose […]
Reddit has lots of good articles about today's “Super Tuesday” primaries in the United States. Do a search for your favourite candidate to narrow it down.
