There’s a whole sub-genre on YouTube of creative, funny, artistic wedding grand entrance & first dance videos. The one below is right up there in all three categories and bonus, it was shot by a couple in Lethbridge… Their proposal video is pretty good too, evoking one of my favourites of that kind, the World’s […]
Now, this is a good rant. And what makes a good rant? Truth is a big part of it. This person hits the nail on the head that the situation at both Library & Archives Canada and CLA are disgraceful – LAC is being absolutely decimated by Stephen Harper’s War on Information while bending over […]
This is a question I posed to MetaFilter last year and am now revisiting this year.

So MeiliMondays have replaced Music Monday for the last couple months which is cool and fine but makes me want to just post a really awesome song now and again. This little clip, a song I’m sure I’ve posted before but can’t find because I cleverly post song lyrics instead of song titles for those […]
Today, Ryan Meili’s campaign announced a very unique fundraiser aimed at getting 50 people to donate $50 (or more!) for a copy of his book, “A Healthy Society” in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Medicare.
