Is 92-year-old Donald Crowdis (former host of the Candadian TV program The Nature of Things) the world’s oldest blogger? Even if he isn’t his blog is terrific. He’s funny and astute. Here’s an excerpt from a recent entry he wrote on cannibalism: [T]he best food, or at least the best protein, is that which is […]
Ooops, I did it again…The blob was down again due to bandwidth issues. (Hmm, blob could be taken literally in this case – damn fat web site!) Last month when it went down, they told me they'd double my bandwidth on an ongoing basis but I talked to them today and it seems like that […]
Looking at my stats and realising how many people come here via links from other sites makes me realise that I've been a bit remiss about providing permanent, recirporcal links to the blogs that bring people here or just that I check on a regular basis. Consider that rectified. Somewhere over there<—–…is now a list […]
Corner Gas tonight is an episode with blogs as a theme. Great show at the best of times but I find this one particularly funny. Hank starts a blog and thinks everybody's reading it but of course no one is. (Sound familiar? ) Oscar: “Yeah, I love your blob.”
After a bit of a glitch (or a glit of a bitch if you're dyslexic), we're back. Got through to Customer Support at NetIdentity very quickly today and my good friend Gregory doubled my transfer limit per month from here on with no extra charge. Yay! To celebrate, let's blow some bandwidth by linking to […]
…I might as well sit here and talk to myself until I get this bandwidth issue resolved or the end of the month comes and it gets reset. Since I can still manipulate the layout of the site, I think people should be able to find me so that's good. I put up a “Read […]
Just trying to get through to my hosting company to resolve the bandwidth issue…but since they shut me off with no warning and no “cushion room” plus they have no way to manually add room to my bandwidth limit (without renewing all my services – e-mail, webhosting, etc – for a full year), I can't […]
The vast majority of people I talk to who have recently started blogs all seem to say the same thing: “I don't really like blogs but I decided to give it a shot.” This instinctive reaction against blogs is interesting – why is there a natural resistance to blogs? (Going way back to entry one […]
Even though it rained off and on, Shea and I had a great day at the Kitchener-Waterloo's edition of the Word on the Street Festival today. Having been a board member of the Calgary edition for three years, I was looking forward to seeing what one of the other host cities for this national festival […]
Are you a blogger? Do you have things to say about the profession (archives, museums, lis, etc . . . )? We're looking to compile a directory of active FIS bloggers, so why not send your details along and be included! OPML-based 'reading lists' will eventually be created so that members of the FIS community […]
