Music Monday – “I don’t go in for ancient wisdom/I don’t believe just ’cause ideas are tenacious/It means that they’re worthy.”
Saw this meme on Facebook and thought I’d share since June 25 is halfway to Christmas and since it fits with Music Monday, why not post a Christmas song today? I’ve posted this one before but every time I listen to it, I just love it more and more. So sweet and funny and perfect. […]
Re-live TEDxRegina Through the Magic of Online Streaming Video!
Here’s my personal favourite presentation from TEDxRegina last month. (All the TEDxRegina videos are up but as of right now, and just for me (?), not all eight are showing up when you search for that tag. But that’s okay because I can hold a few back for later posting!)

Music Monday – “I want to help you lift enormous things/A pinch, a sting/I don’t feel a thing/And as the Earth revolved around the sun”

Some Random Thoughts on TedXRegina
So I was one of the lucky 100 who got to attend TedXRegina on Wednesday at the ShuBox Theatre at the U of R. Here are some random thoughts about the day… – never realised until the night before while checking out the #tedxregina hashtag on Twitter that there were only 100 seats available as […]
