Random Thoughts on 2013 #tedxregina #yqr (and My Hypothetical TED Talk Topics)

Went to TEDxRegina yesterday and honestly, my thoughts on the afternoon, with a couple exceptions, are pretty much the same as my thoughts on the inaugural one in 2012. Perhaps because I usually cherry-pick the best TEDTalks when watching online, both years I’ve gone in expecting all TEDx talks will be stellar too.  But honestly, […]

Eight Arrested After Brawl at Kindergarten Graduation

I hope this doesn’t happen at Pace’s kindergarten graduation in a couple weeks! 😉 This is my favourite quote from an article that’s full of all kinds of crazy details (“shots were not fired but someone did pick up a hammer”.) Cleveland Police Commander Wayne Drummond said investigators were trying to confirm reports that a […]

One Memorable Moment From Each Year I Was In School

I thought it might be interesting to re-visit the […]

Friday Fun Link – Our English As She Is Spoke (A Column Only Canadians Will Understand)

A fun column by Dave Bidini as we head into the May Long Weekend aka “The Official Start of Summer in Canada” (at least in theory, if not practice.)

A Partial and Incomplete List of Reasons the NDP Lost The BC Election #skpoli #bcpoli #ndp

I went to a noon hour presentation at the Johnson-Shoyama School of Public Policy on “The BC Election and What It Means For Saskatchewan“.   One presenter got a good laugh off the bat joking about how he had to tear up his speaking notes in light of the stunning come-from-behind victory of the Liberals […]

The Dangers of Vertical Video Syndrome

I, too, used to do this… …until I realised there was a better way. For the love of Dog, people, turn your camera phones sideways!
