Fun With Google Referrers

Does anyone else see this recent post on my blog as the first result in the Turkish version of Google when you search for “fucks”?  Man, that widget down there… —-> …on the lower part of the right hand column that tracks what countries people are hitting my blog from and also occasionally what search […]

The Role of Blogs in the 2009 Saskatchewan NDP Leadership Race

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 […]

Ottawa Public Library – Some Thoughts of a Non-Librarian

Here's another one of those weird follow-the-leader stories where one thing leads to another which leads to another which brings it all back home.  Or something like that.  I recently had an old college friend find me on Facebook.  I knew he'd graduated as a computer engineer from U of R and had gone to […]

I have no idea why my blog is being cited five times…

…but I'll probably order a copy to find out.  As someone in the comments points out, it's a great marketing strategy for a new book on library blogs – mention as many library-related blogs as possible in your book then list them in your index.  Put a sample of that index online making it likely […]

Remembering Last Remembrance Day

It's hard to believe that I've been writing this blog on a nearly daily basis for what, two and a half years now?  It's even become another resource tool in my arsenal – I often search my own blog for items and ideas that I know I've written about in the past so that I […]

"Family Reunion"- Corb Lund

Okay, I'm back up.   Almost made it to the end of the month for the bandwidth reset but once again, my massive popularity is my downfall (er, also my crappy host.)   Anyhow, I'll perhaps type a more detailed post about my thoughts on blogs, ISP's, web hosting and the like someday.  But for now, […]

Link to Another Blog That Allows Its Users To Post Libelous Comments – Get Sued Yourself!

When Jessamyn West was here for SLA, this topic came up at the after-event gathering.  I meant to post something about it at that time when the story was still somewhat fresh but never got to it, being as busy as I was with much more important matters like cute baby pictures and Flash-based Friday […]
