(Well, the title of this post is 144 characters anyhow. The body of this thing will be *much* longer!) Twitter is celebrating the seventh anniversary of the first tweet ever which means today is as good of time as any to look back at what role social media played in the recent Sask NDP Leadership […]

Music Monday – “And who by brave assent/Who by accident/Who in solitude/Who in this mirror”
Cool video by Buck 65 covering Leonard Cohen…
Politics & Servant Leadership – A Perfect Match?
Ryan Meili has posted his concession speech from the day after the Leadership Convention and it didn’t make my Top 10 list of reasons I was supporting Ryan Meili but the fact that I’ve always found Ryan to be beyond classy, in good times and bad, was another reason I supported his candidacy. Truly a […]
Friday Fun Link – Amazing Sound & Water Experiment
This is pretty cool…
@ryanmeili Music Monday – “We had a lot of fun/We had a lot of money”
As I continue the transition from a blog that was “all politics, all the time” for much of the last six months to one that’s back to being a bit more balanced between the posts about libraries, technology, family and yes, still the occasional political post, I thought I’d start by resurrecting one of my […]
#RIPStompinTom – Thanks For Being The Soundtrack To My First-Ever YouTube Video
Stompin’ Tom Connors died today. Shea and I had the privilege of seeing him at the Calgary Folk Fest and is usually the case for old vets like him (see Dolly Parton at Craven or any number of “vets” who’ve come to Regina Folk Fest), he came out and stole the show. How fitting that […]
FTRW 2013 – Bonus Post – #ftrweek – 10 Most Shocking Documentaries of All-Time
Every year, Freedom to Read Week comes to an end and I feel like I have so many posts I could do left in the hopper. I thought about doing a link dump of all the things I’ve collected but instead, I’ll just post one last one… Top 10 Shocking Documentaries of All-Time
FTRW 2013 – Day 5 – #ftrweek – Tom Flanagan and the Limits of Freedom of Expression #cndpoli
Yesterday, I said that during Freedom to Read Week, often everything starts to look like a Freedom of Expression issue. I didn’t mention another aspect of this in that sometimes, something that looks like a freedom of expression issue could also actually highlight something else – potentially even something criminal. And lo and behold, something […]
FTRW 2013 – Day 4 – #ftrweek – Unintended FTRW Experiences (aka “Boobs, Walls & Thieves”)
During past Freedom to Read weeks, I’ve noticed that everything starts to look like a Freedom of Expression issue. (That’s probably a good thing that we should keep in mind year-round anyhow.) For example, we’re only halfway through the week and I’ve had three distinct experiences that weren’t official FTRW events but which brought forward […]
FTRW 2013 – Day 3 – #ftrweek – “If this mother-fucking stupid fucking song/Offended you/With its filthy fucking language/And fucking disrespect”
Every year during FTRW, I usually like to post one (potentially) offensive song (eg. a song with lots of swearing or controversial lyrics or whatever) because it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. 😉 Sometimes these songs use swearing to make a point about censorship, sometimes they use swearing for humourous effect and sometimes the […]
