Friday Fun *Links* – Some Randomness From Around The Web About the NDP Leadership Race (May 15, 2009)

Here are some random things I'm seeing around the web as the Hale Report seems to have only poured fuel on the fire rather than clearing things up.  The amount of attention being paid to the NDP leadership race seems to have grown greatly but unfortunately, not just because people are paying more attention now […]

An Open Letter to Premier Calvert

Hello Premier Calvert,I know that you don't know me – I mean, we're Facebook friends but I see that you don't log in that often – so we don't really get a chance to chat.  So I thought a letter on my blog might be the best way to reach you.First off, congrats on your […]

Referrer Madness & Pushing Buttons

With the big increase in traffic to this blog because of my writing about the NDP leadership race (sorry everybody who comes here for library & technology related stuff – less than a month till I'm back to that beat), I thought it might be interesting to see some of the search strings that are […]

Friday Fun Link – "If there was one book you could read again for the first time, what would it be?" (May 8, 2009)

Ask.Reddit has some interesting responses to the question “If you could read one book again for the first time, what would it be?” Hmm, one book?  There are a few that pop into my head and it's pretty hard to pick just one.  Whenever asked the other impossible-to-answer book question, “What's your favourite book of […]

Ryan Meili – Agriculture Video

I don't know how many of these videos Ryan has up his sleeve but the first on Aboriginal Issues and now this one on Agriculture make me excited to see the rest – they're very professionally done and give a great insight into his way of thinking.  The strategy of creating these videos reminds me […]
