I did this in 2006, 2007 and 2008 so once again, here’s a quick summary of my 2009 in meme form: What did you do this year that you’d never done before? After always being an armchair observer, I got really involved in politics via the Ryan Meili campaign for the leadership of the provincial NDP. There […]
If you're fortunate enough not to know, Glenn Beck is the latest TV talking head in the US in the Bill O'Reilly/Rush Limbaugh mould (mold?).

That makes this video about a million times creepier if that's possible.] Seriously, if you scare easy, don't watch this…
I did a “Seven Things You Don't Know About Me” mini-meme but I haven't succumbed to the pressure to do the full “25 Things” meme that's going around. Apparently neither has this guy…And you know a meme has jumped the shark when Time magazine is weighing in with their own snark. So there's no way […]
Pick five words to describe me then compare your answers to other people. (via Cenobyte who is witty, loving, religious, cheerful and self-assertive among many other things.)
Amy was good enough to a) admit no one tagged her but she was doing it anyhow then b) tag me for the “Seven Things You May Not Know About Me” meme that's going around. The only reason I mention that first part is because that's similar to my own approach to web memes – […]
[Edit: Changed date from January 1, 2009 to match the Dec 31 posting date I use every other year.] I did this in 2006 and again in 2007 so once again, here’s a quick summary of my 2008 in meme form: What did you do this year that you’d never done before? This is a bad start […]
