Bought an iPhone app called “Touch of Colour” that allows you to highlight one area/colour of a photo while turning the rest to black & white (or another colour of your choice.) I know you can do this with most cameras these days (including ours) and probably with Photoshop and all the other similar programs. […]
If you think about it, you can make a pretty strong case that Google is the closest thing we have to a scientifically-provable omniscient, omnipresent God. (I know I'm a believer!)Meanwhile, I saw this photo on an atheist message board today with the very un-PC but otherwise fitting caption given the recent sex scandals rocking […]
One of the big hub-bubs of the last week or so was around the fact that American right-wing commentator, Ann Coulter, had one of her speeches in Canada shut down by protesters. The one that was shut down was at the University of Ottawa while others at locations including my alma mater, the University of […]
I usually have an April Fool's joke lined up for my April 1 blog post but this year it just totally escaped me. So instead, here's a link to a MetaFilter post on the topic o' the day. Weird to note that I often end up doing two blog posts on April 1 for some […]

It's not where I got the name for this recurring feature but did you know there's an advocacy campaign to promote music education that's actually called Music Monday? Here's a catchy little a capella number from Serena Ryder that's the theme song for the cause which will be sung by school children across Canada on […]
Easily the best session at the PLA Virtual Conference I hosted at RPL last week was the one on “Marketing as Conversation: How to Interact with Your Community Through Your Web Site”. In fact, throughout the presentation, I just kept nodding my head and grinning like a goofball, thinking to myself, “Yep, uh-huh, that's right!” […]
We went to the Western Development Museum in Moose Jaw today (I didn't post it on my Facebook in case someone saw my status update and broke into our home as many will be led to believe is inevitable if they saw the fear-mongering report on the CKCK evening news yesterday – terrible! ) We […]
A company that makes an alternate to traditional female hygiene products, the Moon cup, has a brilliant marketing gimmick on their web site where they encourage readers to submit their pet names for their, ahem, lady bits.
