A Couple Political Notes

Ryan Meili posted a brief message on his Facebook page saying that he will soon be making an announcement about which riding he'll be running in for the 2010 Provincial Election.  Presumably he'll be running in Saskatoon and that likely means one of the ridings currently held by members of the Saskatchewan Party (Sutherland, Greystone) […]

Saturday Snap – The Unexpected Benefits of Working at the Library

Two recent events brought home a really cool benefit of working at the public library most probably don't think of – it's a great place to work if you have a child.  A couple weeks ago, Shea had to make an unplanned trip to the doctor (nothing serious but it couldn't wait either) so she […]

Friday Fun Link – What Do Today's Parents Need To Know That Previous Ones Didn't? (March 7, 2010)

Seriously, I think I could start dedicating a day to an Ask MetaFilter Question o' the Day.  (I did ask a category for MetaFilter recently so that's part way there already!)  This one was particularly relevant – what things does a new parent today have to know about/worry about that previous generations didn't?

The Saskatchewan Party Government – Now With Over 100% Incompetence!

100% is a good mark if you're taking an accounting class, not so good when it reflects how wrong you were with your budget predictions.  I wrote about this when our Saskatchewan Party government was out by 95% with their potash reveue projections late last year.  But man, it takes a special kind of stupid […]
