My Celebrity Matches

I'd seen this Celebrity Face Match site before but a recent Facebook post made me realise it now had all kinds of fun new options to create collages and share your results. (You can click on any collage on this page to try it yourself – and make sure you post your results to your […]

Happy Birthday Shea (Try Not To Party Too Hearty Tonight – You're Getting Old!)

(This is an older photo of Shea as I was trying to capture the “party” aspect of the post title more than the “getting old. aspect.)  With that said, if you want to see some pics of how “the belly” is coming along, she has a Flickr account with more current photos!  Sorry for any […]

Love, Regina Style

I saw someone in London complaining on their blog or Facebook profile because they had to go to school when it was -12.  All I can say is please look at the “feels like” line on the screencap below.   Also “please don't ever whine about -12 again!”  Being a good Saskatchewanite, -41 didn't stop me […]

Is This A Gift For The Baby or the Parents?

Now, we just need:“My Grandpa Thompson is a Gas Man”“Help! My Grandma Thompson is Stealing Me (again)”“How come my Grandpa Hammond has as many teeth as I do?” “I think my Grandma Hammond slipped some homemade wine in my bottle!”…and we're good to go! Thanks to Meshell for the tip!

The OPAC – A Question (Mark)

For many library users, the OPAC is the source of connection to their library – how they find books, movies, CD's, etc.  And it's a well-known issue in libraryland that OPAC's frequently aren't all they should be, something that's increasingly in the spotlight because of how much better Web 2.0 sites like Amazon and LibraryThing […]

Randomness (Happy Groundhog Day!)

Saskatchewan Round-UpSask Government Insurance, a crown corporation that provides insurance to all drivers in our province, is offering $180 rebates to safe drivers on their automobile insurance and lowering rates by an average of 5% as well (when we already have the lowest auto insurance rates in Canada – why do you think I love […]

Oscar's First Photo

We had an ultrasound today.  Unfortunately they didn't provide VHS or DVD video nor allow us to record even a short clip ourselves (it is a diagnostic procedure after all.  But man, are they ever missing out on a guaranteed cash cow if they provided that option!)  Anyhow, they did give us some photos including […]

LibraryThing Redux (and a glimpse into my real world book collection)

Here's a group called “Librarians Who LibraryThing”.

"How did the province where medicare was born end up with a city this frightening?"

I've spent the last couple hours trying to write a post responding to the recent Maclean's article naming Regina's North-Central neighbourhood as the worst in Canada.  But I don't know how do to it. So instead, here is a painting I bought from a former North Central resident who came around my old office to […]

Randomness (Happy New Year!)

Early in this blog's history, I came up with a little gimmick where I cover a bunch of miscellaneous things I've come across or want to talk about in conjunction with a holiday (search for “randomness” to see previous entries).  I don't think I've done a “random” entry like this in awhile but the New […]
