Friday Fun Link – What Are Some of the Most Impressive Things Ever Built of Lego?

Pace has become an absolute Lego fiend in the past year or so.  He’ll spend hours building increasingly complex vehicles and scenes – many of which blow me away with how creative they are. He’s not at this level yet but he’s getting there… An Array of Minifigs, Good vs. Bad We Can’t Go Camping […]

Friday Fun Link – Legal Decisions Are Fun!

I’ve made a few passing references to the fact that I am no longer the Organization Development Specialist at Regina Public Library. Without going into specifics, there’s a bit of back story to how that all came about but the main thing to know for the purposes of this post is that when my position […]

Friday Fun Link – Good News Round-Up!

It’s been a pretty good news week for me. Week started with news that some long-awaited Assistive Technology I’d ordered at work had finally arrived. At the risk of being a “vague-booker” (er, “vague-blogger”) by hinting at things I can’t actually openly discuss right now, later in the week, I got a couple awesome pieces of […]

Friday Fun Link – What Would You Take If Your House Was Burning Down? (Photos)

An interesting question – people are asked to take a photo of what they’d take from their house if it was burning down.  I mean, obviously, the right answer is “nothing” and “get the hell out as fast as possible.” Also, “make sure my family is out” is an acceptable answer. From the stuff photographed, […]

Friday Fun Link – Library CKI/CKO Simulator

This simulator doesn’t work quite as well as you’d hope but it’s a library check-in/check-out simulator that’s intended to help you figure out how long you have to wait until a book you have on hold comes in. I found this simulator on a MetaFilter thread where a patron was asking exactly that question – […]

Friday Fun Link – Forgot a Song? Just Hum It!

Midomi is a really cool site that lets you hum or whistle the melodies of songs you’ve forgotten and it will try to provide a match. I was able to get it to recognize a Beatles song and “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” but had less success with a couple other (slightly) lesser-known songs.  But […]
