Before I started the program, I talked to three different alumni for their tips and suggestions. Although these may sound very obvious, here's their suggestions which I've implemented for myself to various degrees this year (although to be honest, many of these are also “do as I say, not as I do” type things!):1. Exercise2. […]

"best" "top10"'s "toread"
The Top 10 list is a ubiqutious part of our culture these days and using the power of folksonomy, you can easily find some interesting web sites. This is a list of sites that have been bookmarked using the tags “best”, “top10” and “toread” on Delicious, a social bookmarking web site. Fairly tech-heavy but there […]
Book Meme Too
Jill did the book meme on her blog which led to a blog of one of her friends who had coincidentally done a similar book meme on the very same day. (Whoa dude!) The friend's list was “10 Books You Think Everyone Should Read”. I'm duplicating a couple picks from my other list but here […]
A Book Meme
Saw this on Etc., the blog of the instructor for LIS765 so thought I'd give it a shot: One book that changed your life? I'd say “Diary of Anne Frank” when I was pretty young, probably around the age that Anne is in the book. After that, I went through a phase where I felt […]
Tips For Designing A Web Page
Having done a lot of web site design over the years, I thought of doing a list like this in first semester right before our 505 web site assignment was due. I never got around to it. But now, having spent quite a bit of time in the last few weeks helping fellow students who […]
What If We Had Nine Required Courses and Six Electives?

I don't know what the required courses used to be – I think collections development and a technology one called […]
Furniture For Sale
Hey everybody,Shea and I are moving home in December so I've put an ad up on the UWO housing registry advertising that we're willing to sell any or all of our furniture and other household items, starting in mid-December. (Or if anybody stumbles across this blog who is coming to UWO in January, we're willing […]
Songs For A…
There's a bit of a discussion about music choices happening in the comments of my recent Beautiful South post so, in the spirit of that great work of music-list making, High Fidelity I thought I'd bring one idea out to the front page in handy-dandy ready-meme format:Song that is “Your Song” for you and your […]

As I head towards the end of my time at FIMS at an ever-quickening rate, I have lots of occasion …
Some Time Wasters, a Centre of the Universe Story, and My List of London Regrets
Came across The Birthday Calculator which tells you your date of conception, how many days, weeks, months and years old you are (you probably know that one) on Ian's blog via an embedded Digg link that displayed on his site because he was using Feed2JavaScript, a neat little utility that allows you to embed RSS […]
