Music Monday – “Fuck you/You’re drunk/And acting tough” (Not a hit song? I can’t imagine why!)

I’m a huge Hawksley Workman fan but ended up not going to see him close out the Regina Folk Fest last night.  Instead, we accepted an invite to go out to Indian Head for supper and a visit with my folks. Then, coming back in later in the evening, right around the time Hawksley was […]

Friday Fun Link – Tout Hits the Big Time

Back in late April (two months ago in normal human time but eons in Internet time), I wrote about Tout, a new web video service that’s like a combo of Twitter and YouTube. Well, because, I don’t get many opportunities to toot (tout) my own horn for being not only on the ball but ahead […]

Election Post-Mortem (Literally)

So I’ve had a couple days to let the election results sink in and I thought I’d do a few quick hits on various topics coming out of that history-making day.  As I posted on Facebook immediately after, it was real mixed emotions after the results were confirmed.  Elation.  And puking. Elation in that the […]

Music Monday – “And Sunday comes afterwords!”

Last Friday, I wrote about Chat Roulette Love Song which was the extremely successful proof of a guy’s Masters thesis on viral video. Speaking of Friday, another recent viral video that blew up even bigger than Chat Roulette Love Song is the video for “Friday” by Rebecca Black which has gained over 30 million (!) […]

Music Monday – The Cream of Britpop Class of 1995 – Where Are They Now?

Noel Gallagher quit Oasis last year (apparently for good this time – it used to be a weekly occurrence back in the day) so the core of the group has reformed as “Beady Eye” with a newly released album, “Different Gear, Still Speeding”, which is pretty rocking… Blur reunited last year but much more interestingly, […]

Signs of the Apocalypse? Brad Wall has 666 followers on Twitter!!!

  Brad Wall has 666 followers on Twitter!!!, originally uploaded by headtale. I did a similar post pointing this out about Dwain Lingenfelter’s Facebook page during the leadership race so I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out that I just noticed Brad Wall currently has 666 followers on Twitter! (The big difference is that […]

FTRW 2011 – Day Seven – Saturday Snap – Pace writes his name for the first time!

Pace writes his name for the first time, originally uploaded by headtale. This post has nothing to do with censorship but everything with the power of the written word. Even though we’re a librarian and a public heath nurse with a special interest in early childhood development, I’d say we’ve been fairly typical in terms […]

Saturday Snap – The Best Part of Shaving The Winter Beard…

The Best Part of Shaving The Winter Beard, originally uploaded by headtale. …is getting to carve out all manner of redneck, yokel and classic facial hair styles as you whittle it down to “clean-shaven.” (For the record, Regina is still fricken freezing – made worse by a thaw the other week that’s turned Regina into […]

Friday Fun Link – Soocial

If you’re like me, you have contacts all over the place – on your home computer, on your work computer, on your smart phone, on a notepad by your phone, on little scraps of paper in your pocket.  Soocial is a new site that attemps to easily automate the process of syncing contacts between all […]
