So, crazy things of all crazy things, I seem to be blogging again so soon after the last one I wrote! Yay me! 🙂 Anyway, perhaps my biggest complaint about Edmonton winter (particularly in this pre-Christmas time frame where the spirit of the holidays normally distracts me from most non-ice related weather complaints) is when… Continue reading Good gosh I'm cold today!

And that's perhaps the best summary of this past month or so that I can easily come up with, really. It has been a month of self-reflection, reflecting on the whole past year of emotional ups and downs, of realizing just where I am now, and just how much I needed a mental break from… Continue reading Time flies when you're… well… living life.

So yesterday was… well, as the Edmonton Twitter community likes to call it: snowpocalypse or snowmageddon. Essentially we were given 15-35cm of snow by the end of the day. Which, for Edmonton is a whole lot! Fortunately I didn't have plans to go out in the weather until the evening, at which point I went… Continue reading Oh my goodness SNOW!

So, like most folks that I know, I paid a modicum of attention the US Election yesterday. In my case this meant reading some Facebook and Twitter before relaxing with some udon noodle soup and some yam tempura (from Kyoto which I had purchased to help deal with my frustrating day at work which was… Continue reading An American Election…

A twitter exchange this morning reminded me of the conflation of things that we often deal with. You see… often when it comes out that there are people doing particularly negative things, they aren't talked about as being bad people, rather they are talked about being bad ______ people (in the blank is a different… Continue reading People aren't perfect…

So given the time that has elapsed since my last posting, there is a lot that I could write about… but given that I attended my first Geek Con of sorts this past weekend (you know not an academic, Kiwanis, or Professional convention, but a primarily fun one!), the Edmonton Expo, I figured I'd type… Continue reading Jewel Staite and other Geeky Musings

So other than my short review of Influenster (which looks potentially awesome but it's going to take a while for it to prove itself) I haven't really blogged here in a long while. I've been retweeting a lot more though (thanks to my new iPad) and even contemplating caving to Sarah's demands and getting Tumblr… Continue reading Games, productivity and other things…

So I've been a member of this community online at http://www.influenster.com/ for several years but it has never really been that active until recently. And lo and behold they updated their site with all sorts of new features. The design is much more user friendly than it used to be, which I'm pretty pleased with.… Continue reading Influenster Review

So this morning was my annual fun of participating in Read In Week! And this time I went to Brander Garden Elementary School and met with a French Immersion grade three class and an English grade one class. In total I read three books (all of which I brought — I gave the kids a… Continue reading Read In Week! 🙂

So it's October 1st. Which I guess means I'm a Kiwanis club director now (none of my other Kiwanis roles change). Woo! It also means of course that my Facebook and Twitter feeds are filled with references to this new Kiwanis year and beyond that that given that it's Monday there's a ton of new… Continue reading October: a new month and a new Kiwanis year! etc.
