I’ve had a few worried e-mails from people who saw that the page with my collection of Fred Eaglesmith tabs has disappeared. The reason is that I have begun the process of transferring my old blog to a new host. As part of that process, the sub-content of my old site which was hosted on […]
By my count, Pace has only done 15 of the 50 things on this list. Of course, he’s not even 5 yet (next month!) so he’s got lots of time to finish off this list! And if the rocks hadn’t been so slippery when I was carrying him and/or if he was a slightly stronger swimmer, […]
I knew of Tim Hus before but discovered this song due to the magic of Rdio. Not too often I hear my hometown name-checked in a song! (“Moose Jaw and Indian Head/It ain’t as flat as everyone says”
These are two pretty amazing videos – a father takes a brief video of his daughter every week for twelve years (and separately, his son for nine years) then splices them together into a short time lapse video. I wish I had the dedication to do something like this with Pace – but once every […]

My old blog, which I started while I was library school sometime in mid-2006 and ran up until about a year ago at blog.headtale.com is no more. Apparently the company that owned the Blogware software sent out an e-mail via all their resellers about a year ago saying they were ending their support for the […]
It’s funny how we sometimes get locked into one mode of thinking, no matter how much evidence there is to the contrary. For example, when we were first planning our Hawaii trip, I decided that the best option for taking photos was to use my iPhone. At the time, I thought I could purchase some […]
Rosemary Griebel who I met when I worked at the Writers Guild of Alberta (and who later wrote me a kick-ass reference letter when I applied to library school) is getting some huge props for her first poetry collection. My former library school classmate, Corey Redekop, will soon have his second novel published. Last but […]
Being in the US, especially on a major religious holiday, is always eye-opening to me as an atheist. For example, this chart ran with a newspaper story whose title and anecdotal themes suggested people were coming back to faith but which the hard evidence clearly suggests otherwise… I will concede that religion and religious pressure […]
