The Craziest Edit in Beatles History

I’ve got a mini-Beatles/music theme going on the past couple days (so much so that when I looked at my post about the Mi’kmaq version of “Blackbird” yesterday, I thought it *was* my Music Monday post and I’d somehow missed posting on Tuesday!) Anyhow, to keep the theme going, here’s a YouTube video about one […]

Saturday Snap – Rain Beatles Tribute in #yqr #raintribute

As a huge Beatles fan, I really enjoyed the “Rain: A Tribute To The Beatles” show earlier this week, especially since they played much of the Abbey Road album (which is my favourite Beatles album) in this version of their ongoing touring show.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #5 – Sociability

Okay, let’s resume the series I started before we left for Mexico where I write about some of the major things that have impacted the person I am today. The first four were my parents, my friends, books and travel (I won’t link to them here as I’ll probably do a master list at the […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #4 – Travel

Not sure if I’ll end up blogging much when we’re in Mexico next week but I thought making “travel” #4 in this series would be a good way to head into our holiday either way. The funny part is that my love of travel actually starts from a weird piece of family trivia – I […]

List of Flags By Colour Combination (and the Story of One Man Who’s Edited 1/3 of Wikipedia Articles)

This is a pretty interesting Wikipedia article. Also, the news has picked up on the story of one guy who’s apparently edited 1/3 of Wikipedia’s millions of articles and created 35,000 original articles.

Friday Fun Link – Dubai Fireworks (Full)

I’m sure I’ve mentioned before that my highest mark for a presentation in library school was one I did that was actually in a journalism class. My presentation was about online video and how it allows you to transcend both space and time in a way that other previous media (television, radio, etc.) couldn’t. This video from […]

WestJet’s 2018 Christmas Ad

I’m always conscious that these videos are as much about marketing as any sort of true holiday sentiment. But they *are* well-done so it’s been a bit of a minor Christmas tradition for me ot post these videos since they are usually pretty heartwarming. Here’s WestJet’s 2018 version…
