Saturday Snap – Halloween Hijinxs

I didn’t actually dress up for Halloween this year (does “Guy who works at a library” count?) but this selfie, taken outside the photo booth they had at our Staff Development Day on October 25 this year sure makes it look like I did!   Pace’s idea of decorating a pumpkin included a self-serve option.

Music Monday – “The memories we are amassing/Will stand as testament that somehow/We bent minds around the concept/That we see others within ourselves/That self-knowledge can be found on bookshelves”

This is really good… “Remember How We Forgot” – Shane Koyczan and Hannah Epperson

RIP Lou Reed (And A List of My Top Five Concerts – Which Doesn’t Include The Lou Reed Show I Saw in Toronto Unfortunately)

The first Velvet Underground album only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it formed a band. – Brian Eno Growing up and living most of my life on the bald Saskatchewan prairie, my opportunities to see certified rock legends have been extremely limited.

Music Monday – “And I know that by February/My thoughts on snow will be contrary/But this is now and then is then!”

Here are a few pics I threw together in a slideshow to celebrate the first snow of the year. “Celebrate” might sound like the wrong word but for me, the first snow of the year is always exciting and, as the song says, “I know that by February/My thoughts on snow will be contrary/But this […]

Saturday Snap – Perogy Poutine

I don’t post a lot of pictures of food on my blog but I couldn’t let this one go by.

The Evolution of Reddit

A graphical representation of different phases of Reddit’s evolution over time.  I joined in January 2007 (and probably was a lurker for a bit of time before that) so that’s a few years before Reddit exploded around 2010, roughly around the time that Digg, which I was never a big fan of, went into freefall.

Henry Cragg’s Wonder People: “Starsky & Hutch Syndrome”

I digitized this from a VHS tape awhile back but don’t think I ever posted it (and when you watch it, you’ll see why!) One of the many highlights of my 1995 semester exchange to York England while in undergrad was taking a Film Production class (which happened to be taught by a guy who […]
