Following up on my promise from awhile ago to add an “About Me” page to this blog, I decided to do something a bit different than the traditional, paint-by-numbers, paragraph-long business-style bio or the fun but frivolous, paragraph-long informal version that many web sites have (er, no offense meant if that's what your web site […]
I'd seen this Celebrity Face Match site before but a recent Facebook post made me realise it now had all kinds of fun new options to create collages and share your results. (You can click on any collage on this page to try it yourself – and make sure you post your results to your […]
Now, far be it for me to take all the credit for Saskatchewan's first-ever Family Day. But I would like to point out that I made a very accurate prediction, way back in July 2006 about a holiday that was announced in late October of that same year (er, if you ignore the part where […]
“Why don't you look it up on DiggieFilter?” – my mother-in-law talking about the web site I mention all the time on my blog.
Here's a goofy idea I had for a fun (yet embarrassing) entry… I've been going to public libraries since I was a kid.

Here's a humourous look at some of them via a forwarded e-mail my mom (a nurse) sent to Shea (also a nurse):
The “daily post” streak continues although I probably have done a few “after midnight posts for the previous day” in the last couple months. If it's time stamped 11:59pm, that's probably a pretty big clue. I think it'll be a big step when I just let the streak go, I think. In the meantime, here's […]
Mike M. responded to my “Top 10 Memories of FIMS” post by suggesting I should write a library screenplay (noting the beautiful irony of doing a movie rather than a book.) Here is my response:“Party Girl” didn't really do it so I think there's still room for a really good library movie – either a […]
Someone wrote to advise that Daily Dilbert is a great way to pass the time when you're unemployed. Sometimes I find the humour a bit subtle (as in today's strip – see below) but it's always quality stuff unlike some of the other crap that's out there in the many funny pages on the Intraweb. […]
