The power of social media is pretty amazing sometimes. I found the clip below via a Facebook post a couple days ago. I followed the Facebook link to YouTube when the clip was at less than 100 views. It's now pushing 10 000! This really speaks to the way that information can go viral and […]

Here's One For All The Blackberry Lovers Out There
Fortune magazine has named Research In Motion, maker of the Blackberry line of products, as the fastest growing company in the world. (Apple came in at 39.)On a more local note, Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan, came in at #10 due to surging demand for fertilizer in places like China, India and Brazil.
Crop Checkin'
On the long weekend, we made a loop hitting Fort Qu'Appelle (a resort community an hour outside Regina), Katepwa Beach, our family cottage on the other side of the lake, our farm, Indian Head where I grew up then down to Weyburn to spend the night with Shea's folks at their camp site. Here's one […]
Music Monday – "You talkin' about Hammer/You talkin' about a show"
Shea thought I was joking when I said I wanted to go see MC Hammer play our local summer exhibition here in Regina. I wasn't…but I didn't make it so I guess this clip I found will have to do:I recently blogged about songs I could listen to over and over and “U Can't Touch […]
SILS Project Will Create One Library Card for Everyone in Saskatchewan
I've written about the Saskatchewan Single Integrated Library System before but now I see this massive project to bring all of our regional and city library systems together in a single consortium arrangement is getting some mainstream media coverage as well. A job for a librarian who will coordinate the technical aspects of the project […]
Chilly Chili in Regina
Stopped by the Regina KidSport's Chili Cook-off in downtown Regina today for a bowl of delicious NDP chili (no, it wasn't vegetarian for those who think all NDP'ers are granola crunchers.) The various Regina and area MLA's who were tending the table were being coy with whose recipe it was so I developed a couple […]
We're All In This Together – One Final Meili Tribute Video
I'd hoped to have this ready a bit earlier (the one month anniversary of the convention vote was one day I flirted with and would've been perfect as it was also a Music Monday!). But it took me longer than I expected – mostly because I was teaching myself to use a different program so […]
Music Monday – "Down in Saskatchewan/Never Meant No Harm To Anyone"
I was planning to throw together one last Meili tribute video since it's been a month to the day since the vote at the NDP convention. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll get it done tonight so instead, I'll dedicate today's “Music Monday” clip to Dwain Lingenfelter who, as I type this, is receiving the nomination […]
And Your Next MP Representing Palliser Is…
…Regina barrister, Noah Evanchuk!Other blogs have already broken, commented on and projected some potential impacts of this story with the main theme appearing to be: “Team Meili was more than a bunch of people drawn to an inspiring new political figure but a group of already accomplished men and women, many of whom will make […]
A Message For Jack Layton's Moustache
I'm home sick today with what is either H1N1, severe neck and intra-skeletal damage from dragging around concrete patio blocks in my backyard the other day or possibly a slow-developing brain aneurysm. For that reason, I wasn't able to attend the “BBQ With The NDP Leader” event that happened in a Regina park this evening. […]
