I’ve had this blog for ten years and my actual birthday has fallen on a “Music Monday” only once in 2009 when I naturally posted…“Paranoid Android” by Radiohead? Maybe I did this because only a couple years earlier in 2009, I fudged things and posted “Birthday” by the Beatles on the Monday before my birthday […]
This is pretty interesting featuring screenshots of the original version of sites such as Google, Yahoo, Amazon, etc. For comparison’s sake, here’s what my very first web page looked like in December 1998 (this isn’t the first page I ever made but the earliest I could find in the Wayback Machine). Crazy to […]
In 2006, I took the only Children’s Librarianship class that my library school offered. I did extremely well in it and was one of only six students (out of a class of 20+) that our prof invited for a end-of-class meal and celebration for her most promising students.

God, I love George Carlin…
This is a great shot (though possibly not the smartest thing to do) of Shea and I from our first trip to Hawaii…
Saw this posted on Facebook today – a history of the Writers Guild of Alberta’s first 30 years including one passing mention of myself as one of a handful of people who worked as coordinators of the WGA’s Calgary office over the years.
So I’m having a bit of a rough June… I won’t get into the gory details (or post the photos!) but it involves a minor medical procedure, a longer-than-expected recovery, an unexpected infection which may or may not be a result of that first procedure and which swelled one of my arms up to double the size of […]
Love the lyrics in this song (which are especially fun around Father’s Day!) For those who don’t know, Robbie Williams started in a boy band in the UK in the 1990’s, went solo and became even bigger pretty much everywhere on earth except North America. I also didn’t realise until I read the Wikipedia entry […]
One highlight of working at a gas station as a teenager was getting to see all the different kinds of chips that rotated in and out – Hostess especially came out with some pretty strange (at the time) flavours including Hamburger, French Fries, Roast Chicken and Pizza. So it was no surprise to see a […]
I haven’t used a regular phonebook in maybe a decade? But we still get one on our door every year and Shea happened to notice we’re still listed – which is weird since we also dropped our landline and only use our cells. Turns out the phone book still lists our phone number and address […]
