Pace Having Fun in Calgary

We happened to be downtown on the Sunday of the Gay Pride Parade in Calgary so spent some time at Olympic Plaza enjoying the music, the vendors and the atmosphere in general.  In a completely unrelated story, Pace was later photographed wearing this hat…

Hope…

Pace doesn't watch TV very much but while I was watching Barack Obama give his speech tonight having finally clinched the Democratic nomination (or did he?), Pace sat right down in front of the TV and watched, enthralled, for a few minutes.  I didn't have my camera handy for that very cool shot so I […]

Hockey in June – How Canadian

As I type this, the Pittsburgh Penguins are up 2-1 on the Detroit Red Wings in the second period of Game 5 of the Stanley Cup playoffs.  This makes me happy. If the Wings come back to win, they'll win the Cup and the hockey season will be officially over.  This makes me sad.I'm cheering […]

Pace's First Birthday!

After waking to ominous grey skies, we made the call to keep the party at Nickle Lake rather than moving into Grandpa and Grandma Thompson's house in Weyburn for Pace's birthday.  We were rewarded with a beautiful, sunny (if a bit windy) day with a great turnout for the party, delicious burgers and hot dogs […]

"[We] discussed who had learned to drive on a tractor [answer: almost everyone, including me]"

Well, the conference is over for another year!  We finished off the joint SLA-MLA conference with a great social event at the Cathedral Village Free House where I was finally able to meet Jessamyn West. Well, that's not quite true – I've “met” her before but this was the first time meeting her in person.  […]

Web 4.0? (And The Onion Gets It Right As Usual)

This story about Web 4.0 (I don't know about you but I'm still trying to get my head around Web 2.0!) reminded me of a hilariously prescient Onion article titled “Fuck Everything, We're Doing Five Blades!”  Here's the TechCrunch reference to Web 4.0 that got the linked author all lathered up (there, I tied the […]
