Music Monday – "Walking around on a broken leg/But I can't get you outta my head" – January 26, 2009
Music Monday – "Death may come invisible, or in the holy wall of fire/In the breath between the markers, on some black I-80 mile."
A fan-made video for a haunting Conor Oberst song (warning: there are a couple graphic images near the end)…
Music Monday – "You know I've been drunk a thousand times/And these should be the best days of our lives"
Another in the never-ending series – Jason's fond memories of his semester in England… Sometimes you just need a song that makes you get up and dance and this one fits the bill perfectly (especially when you're 22 and have a couple pints in you!)(Sorry – embedding disabled by request. I'd link to a live […]
Young Librarian Series – Call For Submissions
Someone sent me this and even as someone who's very interested in the idea of generational differences, I honestly can't decide what I think of it. I'm sure it's a sincere idea aimed at building community and facilitating the exchange of information and experiences within the ranks of young librarians out there. But at the […]
Music Monday – "It was written that I would love you/From the moment I opened my eyes"
Recently rediscovered the album, “Flaming Pie”, one of my favourite McCartney solo efforts. This song is a number of keepers on the album and the video's great too. Interesting Jason-specific trivia – the death of Linda McCartney in 1998 is probably still one of the saddest celebrity deaths I can recall. The fact that the […]

The Reddit title for this video pretty much sums it up…uhm, anybody wanna come to a Win7 party at my house on uhm, how about February 30th?
Music Monday – "So I've been telling old stories, singing songs/That make me think about where I came from"
2009 is apparently the 250th birthday of Robbie Burns, a fact I only discovered while searching for clips from one of my favourite Saskatchewan singer-songwriters, Eileen Laverty. I'm way past Robbie Burns Day but I'll still post it here…such a beautiful song…three days in a row with content to bring a tear to your eye!
Friday Fun Link – Rudy! Rudy! (September 18, 2009)
You could pitch this as a movie but you might get told it's too unrealistic – a pint-sized hockey player who's short on stature but big on heart overcomes incredible odds to not only make the Calgary Flames but become a prolific scorer and team leader helping the Flames win the team's only Stanley Cup […]
Music Monday – "You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane/All they will call you will be deportees"
*I'm backdating a few posts to this past weekend to keep up the illusion that I never leave the front of my computer for such things as camping and otherwise spending quality time with my family.*“Happy Labour Day” isn't the right phrase when a song like this is still way too relevant in today's world…
Fine Free Day Made Simple (Now, With More Ninjas)
The most excellent Common Craft videos on YouTube provided inspiration for this cool video from the Edmonton Public Library about their “Fine Free Day” promotion…(Thanks to Beth L. for the tip!)
