1. Visit one of their local libraries. 2. Take in a second show besides “Love” (Penn & Teller would've been awesome as would have any of the other Cirque shows)3. Eat at In 'n' Out Burger – a no-frills California chain that's sort of like McDonald's but with high-quality, healthy ingredients. 4. Put $10 on […]
Apparently they had cameras following me around in Vegas. Here's a clip from the upcoming documentary…
Sitting in McCarran airport in Vegas just waiting for our flight departure. After a couple *really* close calls on the way down – both in Regina (long security line-up) and Calgary (half-hour delay leaving Regina due to aforementioned long security lines meant we had half an hour to sprint through Calgary airport, clear customs, find […]
So, on somewhat short notice, Shea and I have decided to head for Sin City (except that we'll have Pace in tow so “sin” will be restricted to too much sugar and staying up later than 8pm.) How this came about is that my parents called last weekend that they'd won a free flight to […]
…I bumped into my Director and Deputy Director at the Ottawa Airport and was like “So, you're on the 6:45pm flight too?” “No, 7pm” was the reply.

…means that they can get you an early check-in as soon as you walk up the street from your old, cheap crappy hotel.

I'm sitting in a motel room in downtown Ottawa, having arrived safe and sound earlier today. Here's some random thoughts on my trip so far…– my absolute favourite part of flying is take-off and landing during that brief window of time when you're able to see the city you're at from above with everything below […]
Exciting news! I've been asked to attend the Canadian Library Human Resources Summit in Ottawa on October 6-7. It's sort of short notice but an all-expenses trip paid to Ottawa so who am I to complain? Here's the blurb I was sent which explains a bit more about what the summit is and how it […]
Well, we're back from Calgary and it was a great trip! Pace was an amazing traveler, we saw lots of friends, family and old familiar sights. In many ways, it felt like we were trying to cram three and a half years of memories from when we lived there into just under a week of […]
Read at Work is a site from the New Zealand Book Council that allows you to read classic books, poetry, samples from selected New Zealand authors and more, online and formatted to look like either the Windows XP interface and Powerpoint presentations. Very fun and cool (though I do not, of course, advocate performing non-work […]
