Came across this article while doing some unrelated searches. It's short so I'll quote it in its entirety. The cool thing? It's from 2003! I don't know what the Sask NDP uses these days but hopefully they've only expanded their use of open source technologies! (The link back to the original NDP newsletter with three […]
Regina Leader-Post columnist, Will Chabun, has a different take on what Dwain Lingenfelter's role might be in the current political climate by drawing parallels to other times of upheaval for the provincial NDP. He's also got another piece on his blog about the role that a small community branch library at RPL played in […]
No, not another political post…just the funniest story I've seen online in a LONG time.(via Reddit which has more on this subject in the comments for this post.)
[Edit: A loyal reader has informed me that edarem, the man who made the video below, is a registered sex offender in two states and has a variety of other creepy habits and histories. That makes this video about a million times creepier if that's possible.] Seriously, if you scare easy, don't watch this…
If you asked what role the blogosphere played in the 2009 NDP Leadership Race, the quick answer would be “not enough.” Even though three of the four bloggers who were writing regularly about the leadership race endorsed Ryan Meili (myself, Accidental Deliberations, Louis Riel Trail) and the fourth (Buckdog) didn't endorse anyone, the reality is […]
Someone posted a very meta question on AskMetaFilter recently, namely, “what's the best thing you've ever seen on here?“.

The MyHeritage Look-a-Like Meter is pretty fun. Pace apparently looks 11% more like Shea than me though to be fair, they have similar facial expressions in the picture I use, neither of them are wearing glasses while I am and of course, neither Pace nor his mother have a beard either!
I know I've been neglecting lots of things on this blog with all the political posts the past few months and the Friday Fun Link is one that I've felt most guilty about. Therefore, this week I'm going to do a pre-FFL, a real FFL and a post-FFL – lucky you! To start, Karaoke Machine […]
Okay, after five months of almost non-stop political posts, I feel like I'm going to slowly transition back to library and technology posts (with a healthy mix of cute kid too!) But I don't think I'll leave the politics behind completely – I've got a few posts percolating including a few thoughts on the role […]
Ryan has decided not to run in the Riversdale by-election and that's the right decision for a wide range of reasons. (The link I gave is to News Talk 980 and even they mis-spell Link's first name as “Dwaine”! Er, I hope that mistake doesn't go *poof*. )1) It allows a great female candidate with […]
