It’s no secret that I am fascinated by the different approaches that so many tech companies take towards organizational culture compared to more traditional companies. Here’s another example – a presentation outlining tech marketing company, HubSpot’s cultural code. (I especially love their three-word policy that guides pretty much everything they do: “Use Good Judgement”. Also […]

2013-03-27 – Seven Things In My Brain This Week
Finding the A&W at the Cornwall Centre food court closed for renovations tonight, a co-worker suggested that we should “nationalize the fast food industry.” I helped a visually impaired patron mix up a protein shake the other day. Now *that’s* customer service! 😉 If politics is like sport, losing the leadership race by 44 votes […]

Where Are All The Jobs? Librarians Needed!
Although it can seem dire sometimes, according to this graphic from MacLean’s (via Ken Haycock’s shiny new Facebook page), librarians will be one of the highest demand professions over the next decade. (I’m going to ignore that the actual wording doesn’t specify “librarians” and actually says “Technical Jobs in Libraries…” which could mean a lot […]
10 Things I’m Looking Forward To Now That #skndpldr Is Over
Spending time with my family – I think Pace was starting to suspect daddy had gotten married to his computer since I was spending more time with it than him and mommy the past few months! 😉 Finishing getting ready for the addition to our family – apparently we’re having a baby in two months […]
Top 10 Things I Use As A Bookmark
A discussion on Reddit about who uses dust jacket flaps as bookmarks leads to all kinds of other related anecdotes… English Prof here: Want a great way to boost reading comprehension? Don’t use bookmarks! It’s weird and counter-intuitive, but what this does is force you to go back and quickly skim over what you read […]
Ten Reasons I’m Supporting @ryanmeili for #skndpldr (Recapping My 2009 List)
In 2009, I did a series of ten posts listing the reasons I was supporting Ryan Meili for the Leader of the Sask NDP. I’m pretty sure I could come up with ten different and equally viable reasons this time around. In fact, depending on how much time I have, I may very well do […]
Which Book Made The Most “Best of” Lists in 2012?
This is an interesting way to determine the best book of the year – see which book(s) made the most “Best of” lists? (Kind of like using Google PageRank algorithm but for book lists!) Of course the book on the most lists is one I hadn’t heard of – bad librarian, bad! In my own […]
Friday Fun Link – #yqr Self-Guided Twinkle Tour
The Centre of the Arts is running a “12 Tickets of Christmas” series on FB for free concert tickets each day. The other day they asked people to submit the location of the best Christmas lights they’d seen in Regina to enter that day’s draw. Later that day, I also came across this on Twitter – […]
Five Differences Between Christmas Concerts For Pace and The Elementary School-Aged Me
Pace had his first Christmas concert (actually “concerts” – see #5 below) today. That got me thinking about the ways they’ve changed since I was a kid. [Edit: Someone pointed out many of the differences are as much about rural vs. urban approaches as generational which is probably true.] First off, when I was a […]
