I presented my 697 Individual Study findings to the 501 class on Tuesday and it went pretty well. There were lots of questions and class interaction at the end which I always think is a good thing. Some of the non-501'ers who came out to support me (Sabina, Linda, Tami) said I did a good […]
A nice innovation for the process this term is that the SoL sub-committee asked all nominators to give a brief blurb about their nominee. Looks like Student Council also had their first-ever joint nomination (although the form that came out looks like they only want us to vote for one of the three people who […]
Finally got around to doing my course selection for next term. Here are my rankings for the five classes I want to take plus the couple extras that they make you pick as options in case you don't get into something. I did end up sending around a proposal for another independent study to a […]
– “Alberta Bound” by Gordon Lightfoot just came on the folk roots station I'm listening too. – As Linda said in her comments for the last entry, the coffee house was a blast and everybody who got up did an awesome job. I gotta give Classmate of the Day to the storytellers though (Meg, Becky, […]
Heading to the Student Council's “Talent Show” Coffee House soon. I'm signed up to read some poetry which is guaranteed to be more “show” than “talent”.

(Warning: I don't normally do warnings but if you're particularly sensitive you might not want to read this entry. Or read the first paragraph and see if that's enough to give you the willies. It even bugs me a bit and I'm the guy writing it.) MetaFilter has a massive debate going after someone linked […]
See below for some photos from my adventures on Tuesday night. I also added one from Wednesday's karaoke session to the “Librarian Idol” entry. The photo I added is sort of bittersweet – Shea has our digital camera in Saskatchewan so I dug out my old film camera to take with me to karaoke. It […]
I can't just post even a little blurb I find without having a mini-rant attached (but what else are blogs for?) so here goes… Wouldn't it be nice if we had a place to disseminate information like this to the entire program? Yes, we have a mailing list that goes to all students and faculty […]
