Reddit, which has just undergone its first redesign in a decade, recently passed Facebook as the third most trafficked site in the United States.
Being able to find any kind of timely information you want – for example, ideas for some new music to listen to at your campsite – is a big part of why Reddit is so successful.
With the Ontario provincial election happening today, I’m reminded of the time I unexpectedly got to vote in that province.
It was while I was at Western completing my Master’s of Library Science degree and it happened during a federal byelection in London North-Centre which featured Elizabeth May parachuting in to try to win the Green party’s first seat.
I have a memory that I almost pulled the lever for her, just on the basis that I like the idea of more parties and more viewpoints having representation. But in the voting booth (in the lobby of our apartment building if I remember correctly), I balked and put my mark beside the NDP candidate’s name (little good that it did.)
But let’s hope a wide swath of Ontarians are also willing to put an X beside the name of their NDP candidate today and the results are very different! 🙂
Our annual visit from my Aunt Sandi, who stays with us for a few weeks around Pace’s birthday each year, is over for another year.
It was another great visit with lots of laughs, great conversations, delicious meals and we even survived having windows installed in our guest room while Sandi was here.
See you next year!

Should’ve called it “The Escape Castle“?
What I imagine a Scottish princess would say…
And of course, haggis!
I think our family on my paternal grandmother’s side had five generations alive at one point but I can’t imagine six generations on the planet at one time (or even seven which the article says is the world record but with no photographic proof!)
It’s 1989 all over again with Roseanne Barr stealing headlines from Bill Cosby…
