Open Source & Progressive Politics – Natural Allies

Came across this article while doing some unrelated searches.  It's short so I'll quote it in its entirety.  The cool thing?  It's from 2003!  I don't know what the Sask NDP uses these days but hopefully they've only expanded their use of open source technologies!  (The link back to the original NDP newsletter with three […]

Friday Fun Link – MyHeritage Look-a-Like Meter (June 12, 2009)

The MyHeritage Look-a-Like Meter is pretty fun.  Pace apparently looks 11% more like Shea than me though to be fair, they have similar facial expressions in the picture I use, neither of them are wearing glasses while I am and of course, neither Pace nor his mother have a beard either! 

Friday Early Link – Karaoke Machine (June 11, 2009)

I know I've been neglecting lots of things on this blog with all the political posts the past few months and the Friday Fun Link is one that I've felt most guilty about.  Therefore, this week I'm going to do a pre-FFL, a real FFL and a post-FFL – lucky you!  To start, Karaoke Machine […]

Blind Search Test

Okay, after five months of almost non-stop political posts, I feel like I'm going to slowly transition back to library and technology posts (with a healthy mix of cute kid too!)  But I don't think I'll leave the politics behind completely – I've got a few posts percolating including a few thoughts on the role […]

My Geek Chart (and a link to my CLA Presentation)

When I recently told someone I'd just been to the CLA conference, he replied “So you're a nerd then?”“It's worse than that,” I replied.  “I happily spent the first day with the Emerging Technologies Interest Group.  So I'm like an uber-nerd of the library world!”  In that spirit, here's my Geek Chart:Headtale's Geek Chart Here […]

Money Bomb For Ryan Meili

I’m taking a one day break from the “Top 10 Reasons I’m Supporting Ryan Meili” series of posts to promote a really cool idea.  Last night, Ryan Meili’s campaign announced that it was launching a “Money Bomb“.  If you’re not familiar with the concept, the term money bomb originated in the last US election as […]

Meili 2.0: Party Renewal In The Information Age

I slipped over to the University today to sit in on the press conference for Ryan Meili's official launch of his campaign videos.  The release of these videos was tied into the larger theme of the changing role of technology and especially its abiility to level the playing field in modern politics. (See his press […]

NHL Playoffs and the Power of The Google

So a few entries ago, I once again posted my predictions for the NHL playoffs.  I didn't take the time to do any analysis or anything – just posted a list of my picks using a unique style of picking teams based on a descending scale of 1) do I like the team?  2) Is […]
