Friday Fun Link – A Strong Contender For The #covidiot Hall of Fame?
I mean, to be fair, this guy might be thinking of how some people have the letters “Dr” in front of their name. But that’s an abbreviation instead of an actual academic designation (where the letters go *after* the name.) So yeah, if you’re implying that your Facebook-based research methods give you more knowledge than […]
Sask Library Association Recommendation Letter (June 2001)
Going through some old papers, I came across this recommendation letter from the Sask Library Association Executive Director. If this letter didn’t make it clear, I’ve always felt a strong connection to libraries, loved getting to work for the province’s library association and, only five short years later, I’d be off to library school to […]
Beyond The Statistics: Prairie Woman Creates Facebook Page to Humanize Covid Stories
The creator of a FB page promoting the honest, non-partisan sharing of Covid experiences was a couple years behind me in school and I know her dad and family as well. It’s tragic that the reason she created this page was because her dad is one of many people in Indian Head affected by Covid […]

WATCH: Over the […]
First Snow of the Year (2020 Edition)
And in perfect 2020 fashion, the first “snow that stays” of the year is a massive blizzard (well, its hit Saskatoon more than Regina so far but we’ll see what we wake up to tomorrow!) Anyhow, at least it came relatively late compared to other years.
Reviewing Ryan #skpoli #skvotes
Okay, a week has passed, most of the races potentially impacted by mail-in ballots have been decided, and since we just celebrated Halloween, what better time to assess a very scary election result for the NDP? I was going to do a more general post with my random election thoughts but since at least four […]
Saturday Snap – Thoughts From A Very Strange Halloween
I took Sasha out trick or treating for a couple hours tonight (Pace was off with friends) and it was noticeably quieter on the streets compared to other years (also quieter at our house – we’re in a new house but in the same area as our old house. Our neighbour said they usually get […]
