A final circle closes – my last chat for Advocacy class tonight was with former Saskatchewan Provincial Librarian (and current Director of the Coquitlam Public Library), Maureen Woods. Great teleconference which finished with a very revealing “round table” as everybody talked about what they'd taken from the class. And that's it. No more assignments. No […]
“Shea” here again: They found Jason frozen in a snow bank tonight along with his ever-present digital camera. This was a photo he took just as he left the bar. The time stamp says 2:39am but I know this is a mistake as he told me he would be home around 8pm or so. The […]
I love looking at my referrer logs to see the search terms that bring people to this blog. Since December 1, that has been phrases such as:“Is+April+the+highest+suicide+month?”“How Long Until I Get My Acceptance Letter from UWO?”“FIMS Porn” Yep, that last one is for real. Somebody out there is looking for “FIMS porn”. The most important […]
I also like the beer stein. Highbrow | T-shirts, mugs, mousepads & gifts(Thanks to Meshell for the tip!)And here's the reason my entries have been a bit on the light side the past couple days. (Who knew you could have 40 tabs open in Firefox at a time?) Our mini-conference for LIS532, the joint class […]
Each semester, some students put together the “Book Zine” which is a collection of Top Ten book lists and other randomness. If you haven't submitted yet, you should! It's a great little memento of each semester that also will provide lots of great book suggestions. The deadline has just been extended. Here's the scoop:—Our zine […]
Corner Gas tonight is an episode with blogs as a theme. Great show at the best of times but I find this one particularly funny. Hank starts a blog and thinks everybody's reading it but of course no one is. (Sound familiar? ) Oscar: “Yeah, I love your blob.”
I told my in-laws about this blog and now I know that my mother-in-law is reading on a regular basis. So I thought I'd do an entry dedicated to her and my father-in-law. They're part-owners of a herd of buffalo in Saskatchewan so I thought this riddle is fitting. The sentence listed in the title […]
This is a list of potential slogans to put on our class t-shirts last semester – provided by classmates, other students, faculty, staff, alumni, library joke sites and more. Some are pretty obvious, some are in-jokes that only our class would get. I've put the winning choice in bold and her personal favourite in italic. […]
I'm over at the school having worked on a couple of my first assignments for most of the night after walking Shea to work at 7pm. Now I'm just surfing around aimlessly because Shea's at work and if I go home, er, I'd probably just be doing the same thing. Here's something fun I came […]
My wife and I recently played a practical joke on my mother-in-law, Joan. If you haven't read about it, go read that first. Don't worry…I'll wait.Okay, got it? Here's the update: a couple days after we pulled the prank, Joan got a phone call from a family friend who, disguising his voice, said “This is […]
