In my quest to bring you all the hardest hitting political news, I have to note the somewhat shocking development that Ryan Meili beat noted Sports Cage call-in regular, “Brad from Swift Current” in sending out a timely tweet about the Roughriders’ tough loss today. It took “Brad from Swift Current” TWELVE full minutes before […]

Saturday Snap – Tobogganing
Enjoyed a day off last Monday by taking the kids tobogganing…
Friday Fun Link – Best Social Media Management & Analysis Tools
I don’t do a huge amount of this on my own blog/FB/Twitter/etc. but still useful to know what tools are out there for managing all aspects of your online presence – tracking mentions, controlling content, your social media reach and so on.
“Jason Hammond” In The News
I admit it – I have a “Google Alert” set-up for my own name. Sadly, I’ve never seen anything come up about myself in any news reports.

Minister of Education Bronwyn Eyre Under Fire (aka “Don Morgan, I Miss You!”) #skpoli
When an Education Minister cuts funding so significantly that it puts the entire, century-in-the-making public library system at risk of shutting down completely, it’s not surprising that I’m not going to be a fan. Luckily, thousands of other people across the province felt the same way, then-Education Minister, Don Morgan, admitted his mistake and public […]
Saturday Snap – Good Knight
Sasha was playing in the “tickle trunk” we keep of various costumes and other dress-up clothes…
Friday Fun Link – What Screams Upper Middle Class?
[Edit: This post started as a way for me to share what I thought was an interesting Reddit post. But then I had the idea to use it to talk about whether the reason I found it interesting was because I identified – and was slightly embarrassed by – many of the points it raised? […]
