With apologies to Mike T. for stealing his t-shirt slogan for a mostly inaccurate blog post title, I just wanted to post a note that I have around 250 unattended messages in my in-box right now and will get to them, hopefully by the end of this week. I don't think there's anything life and […]
Hey everybody,Shea and I are moving home in December so I've put an ad up on the UWO housing registry advertising that we're willing to sell any or all of our furniture and other household items, starting in mid-December. (Or if anybody stumbles across this blog who is coming to UWO in January, we're willing […]
I told my in-laws about this blog and now I know that my mother-in-law is reading on a regular basis. So I thought I'd do an entry dedicated to her and my father-in-law. They're part-owners of a herd of buffalo in Saskatchewan so I thought this riddle is fitting. The sentence listed in the title […]
Scholarly Journal Submission UpdateJust finished submitting the revised version of “Useless as Tits on a Bull: User Fees in Alberta Public Libraries” to Partnership: The Canadian Journal of Research and Theory. As I said before, it's been an extremely educational process, I got some great feedback and even if they don't decide to publish it […]
I'm over at the school having worked on a couple of my first assignments for most of the night after walking Shea to work at 7pm. Now I'm just surfing around aimlessly because Shea's at work and if I go home, er, I'd probably just be doing the same thing. Here's something fun I came […]
Another recurring feature on this blog is that I've done a few “random thoughts” posts connected to various holidays over the past few months. I didn't do one on Monday so here's a belated Happy Labour Day to you and some good old fashioned randomness…What I Learned On My Summer VacationShort of a trip to […]
Unless I can find an internet connection at the top of the Skyhawk, there likely won't be many posts for the next week as Shea and I are off on a trip around Lake Erie. Our itinerary includes to Toledo to see some family friends of hers, Cedar Point in Sandusky for the world's largest […]
Shea and I are off to the annual Fred Eaglesmith Picnic at Aylmer, just south of London in “Fred Country” for the weekend. Eaglesmith always connects the weekend to a charity and this year's is a fitting one which even loosely relates to some of the same issues being discussed after a recent post of […]
I know that the law classifies bicycles as vehicles and that's why they have to ride on the road rather than the sidewalk. But to me, that's never made sense. Except in the busiest areas (downtown, Richmond Row, at the University), sidewalks tend to have a lot less people on them than the number of […]
Christina and I are planning to have a pool party on Friday afternoon to celebrate the end of the semester and one of the last chances for many of us to spend time together before some of us go off to co-op placements or off to the real world. We're planning to start at 2pm […]
