Saskatchewan’s Mark McMorris brought home Canada’s first Olympic medal, a bronze in the slope style competition. This is pretty amazing considering he broke a rib only a couple weeks ago at the Winter X Games (not to mention that he’s a kid from the flat Canadian prairie of course!) 😉 McMorris grew up in Regina. The closest […]
After a blowout Super Bowl with what some are calling one of the best half-time shows of all-time, what other clip could I post but Bruno Mars… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c57ZKYoOyUw “Locked Out of Heaven” – Bruno Mars Here are a few other random thoughts about the Super Bowl… – if it hadn’t been for the Saskatchewan connection, […]
Saskatchewan’s been buzzing for the last couple weeks after the Seattle Seahawks qualified to go the Super Bowl against the Denver Broncos. Usually Saskatchewan football fans are focused on a team wearing a different shade of green and the NFL isn’t as popular as the Canadian Football League for most people. But this game has special […]
SaskTel was out to Regent Place a couple weeks ago to shoot a storytime for their video magazine. This edition’s topic was “Snow” and they used footage of their host at one of our storytimes to introduce a few other segments shot in different locations such as the Saskatoon Zoo. The clips aren’t online yet […]

This would be a terrible loss as the theatre is […]
About once a week I work a 10-6 shift instead of a more typical 9-5 one. With one staff member on holidays and one having called in sick, today happened to be particularly busy day starting as soon as I arrived, an hour later than usual. So I thought I’d do a list of a […]
On top of the recent news that by being excellent stewards of their country’s oil wealth, each Norway citizen was now a “millionaire”* (as opposed to some oil-rich jurisdictions that weren’t quite so successful in this regard), comes this story about the National Library of Norway finding a way to make copyrighted works available to […]
Glad to hear the Balcarres school backed off their initial ruling that a student’s “Got Land? Thank An Indian” hoodie was racist and/or offensive to let her continue to wear it. But I still think they made the wrong call in the first place to censor the student’s wardrobe choice. (As for the CBC commenter’s question, […]
When I try to quickly define my blog for people (at least as it currently exists), I often say it’s about libraries, technology and politics (along with cute pictures of my kids of course.) That’s why the passing of longtime University of Saskatchewan librarian, Peter Scott, is so sad. He was at the intersection of […]
