Saskatchewan Round-UpSask Government Insurance, a crown corporation that provides insurance to all drivers in our province, is offering $180 rebates to safe drivers on their automobile insurance and lowering rates by an average of 5% as well (when we already have the lowest auto insurance rates in Canada – why do you think I love […]
Today is 11 months to the day that I started this blog. And sure, if I wanted to be like everybody else, I could wait another month to post this on my much more appropriate one year anniversary. But since I'm thinking of it right now, I'll post it now instead…I've created a really quick […]
Today's the first day we felt Oscar kick! Well, Shea's been feeling it internally for a few weeks. But today's the first time we could feel the thump on the outside. According to Shea, the kid likes to kick like nobody's business. (Hopefully a $250 million soccer contract is in his (or her – must […]
John M. did a post about Michael Gorman after hearing about one of his books on my blog. To keep the cross-blog dialogue flowing, I thought this might be a fitting time to post a comment I made about Gorman on our “Advocacy in Libraries” message board. I posted the following on the week we […]
The “daily post” streak continues although I probably have done a few “after midnight posts for the previous day” in the last couple months.

But there's no time like the present.1. No Author BiographyWell, contrary to some people who think this blog is purely an exercise […]

This is a bit of an old story by now but Time magazine recently named “You” as their “Person of the Year”. Many people reacted to the decision negatively saying it was a cop-out and the ultimate gimmick to sell magazines from a magazine that arguably hadn't chosen the proper newsmaker of the year since […]
…sometimes you have absolutely nothing to say. (I've got a fun one lined up for tomorrow though – promise!) For some reason, this emptiness of ideas inspired me to check my stats. As I suspected, my number of “unique visitors” are down by about 2/3 from an all-time high right around that “50 Ways To […]
