Like I suspect is the case for a lot of people who came of age in the 1980’s, I would spend hours making mix tapes when I was young – tapes featuring different artists, different themes, different moods. At the time, mix tapes were created by dubbing favourite songs from your own small cassette collection, borrowing […]
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 […]

Had a bit of a sad day on Friday when we took Pace to a farewell party for him, a couple classmates and one of the teachers at his daycare Pace has gone to Bright Beginnings Daycare since he was eighteen months old – virtually his entire life when you think about it. He started […]
So it’s not a secret that a big part of the booming Saskatchewan economy is due to our massive non-renewable sector – potash and oil mainly but also natural gas and other similar resources at the expense of developing the renewable industry in any meaningful fashion. When we say “renewables”, most people think of things […]
