One Red Paper Clip Redux
It's a bit ironic that the town I visited today for Internet training happens to have a small place in Internet history itself. But other than a brief discussion with the branch librarian about the events of the last couple years since a young man from Montreal was able to execute a series of online […]
Obama News Round-Up
I'm following the US primaries (especially the Democratic ones) with great interest. Here are a few Barack Obama-related stories that have caught my attention lately…Barack Obama decisively wins South Carolina. Caroline Kennedy endorsed Obama via a NY Times editorial entitled “A President Like My Father“Barakoblogger is one of many Obama-focused blogs out there that's a […]

Scotch Mist – Radiohead
Radiohead are usually extremely innovative with any multimedia products they put out – from videos to concert films to web sites (although the current version is quite traditional compared to what they've done in the past.)

So here are some links and articles I've had kicking around for awhile waiting for a good time to post. Amazon: New & Future Book ReleasesLibrarians talk […]
The US Election – Less Than 365 Days Left!
I follow US Presidential politics and this year is shaping up to be one of the most interesting elections in a long time – because of the Iraq War, because of the razor-thin margins (and resulting controversy) of the last two elections in 2000 and 2004, because the Democrats made a stunning comeback in the […]
Green Is The Colour/Football Is The Game (and some YouTube Highlights While You're Waiting For The Game)
In 1989, the Riders won only their second Grey Cup ever in the 95 year history of the CFL (admittedly, pretty embarrassing in an 8-10 team league.) They won with a team led by QB Kent Austin in a game played in Toronto's Skydome. This year, the Riders, with Austin as coach, go into the […]
