Opening of the Saskatchewan Legislature – Oct 27, 2010, originally uploaded by headtale. Here’s a shot from the opening of the fall session of Saskatchewan’s Legislature. When I got invited, I thought it was to sit in the gallery but turns out we got to sit on the floor, right behind where the MLA’s sit […]
Funny enough, it was a thread on the off-topic forum of a site dedicated to the Calgary Flames where I first heard about the current mayoralty race in Calgary. The current mayor wasn’t running again so a wide field had come forward (something like 15 in total? Why can’t Regina have that?) with the main […]
Hockey The Flames got spanked in their first game of the season against the Oilers (who almost made me want to cheer with them with what a dynamic young team they’ve assembled.

I’m not sure how long Ryan’s going to leave his site up so […]

I mean, his “get out of jail free” card is pretty flimsy by any standard. Oh well, we can hope! (most links via Reddit and […]
Seth Godin giving a TedTalk on the tribes we lead – the idea that we’re passed the age of marketing and back to an old fashioned idea that our main influence is the people around us (but now, we have technology instead of campfires to tell our stories around.) Lots of relevant ideas whether you’re […]
