I guess if I'm doing corrections, I should make sure I use precise language. Correcting myself that Dwain Lingenfelter's Google Maps mash-up isn't misleading isn't entirely accurate either. It *is* misleading, just not in the way that I said it was. It's not misleading in that it contains information about non-existent events as I originally […]
Loyal reader, Kent posted a comment in response to my last post about Dwain Lingenfelter's Google Map mash-up to tell me that I was wrong – the map does work and every push pin does have information about an event, you just have to click on the right *spot* on the push pin. I'm big […]

Dwain Lingenfelter's Google mash-up map doesn't work because of a usability issue, not because non-events are being posted.] Recently, I did a post noting that Dwain Lingenfelter has about 26% of his support on Facebook from […]

Here are some random impressions…– I arrived early and bumped into a young woman who looked really familiar but who I couldn't place. She did the “you look familiar…” routine with […]
I was happy to see that after a long absence, the Sask Blogs aggregator is back up and running, better than ever. I was perusing it last night and happened upon a post on “Giant Political Mouse“, a lefty web site that focuses mostly on Saskatchewan politics. This post mentioned that the provincial NDP leadership […]
The Atlantic Monthly takes a look at the techniques and deeper meaning of Barack Obama's Inaugural Address.The Toronto Star presents word clouds of previous Inaugural Addresses including Obama's. (Thanks to Sandra M. for this link.) Oh, and my former classmate, Ian L., got a shout-out on the highly-trafficked (and one of the first) Internet blog, […]
