Blog is five years old today!

2 February 2010 It IS all about me

Wow, can you believe it? Five years ago today, I dipped my toe in the Internet Ocean and have been dog-paddling madly across the sea ever since! Five years! Wowza. And to celebrate, I dust off an old favourite meme that I’ve done at least two or three times before: the Time Traveler meme. Because [...]

2009: A Bloggy Year in Review

31 December 2009 Memes

I know, I know, everybody and his brother is doing the year in review thing. But I’ve done this in each of 2006, 2007 and 2008, and frankly, I got nothing else for today! Here it is again, a meme of review in the form of the first line of the first post of each [...]

Time Travel, recycled and re-used!

2 April 2009 It IS all about me

This is the first meme I ever did, and I liked it so much I did it again the next year. I intended to do it every year, but — like so many of my great intentions — seem to have lost it in the shuffle. As Homer said about the roasted pig: “It’s still [...]

BBC Books meme

1 March 2009 Books

(I filched this meme from a couple of friends’ Facebook pages. According to the original meme, the BBC reckons most people will have only read 6 of the 100 important books here. Thing is, I went looking for the original source of 100 books, and couldn’t find it anywhere. There’s this BBC Big Reads list [...]

2008: a meme of review

31 December 2008 Memes

It’s become a bit of a tradition for me to do this end-of-year meme. It’s not as lovely in narrative flow as last year’s seemed to be, but then again, this was a kind of disjointed year, from a bloggy perspective. A lovely, full, hectic, but ultimately wonderful year. It’s hard to imagine that this [...]

A Christmas Traditions Meme

21 December 2008 Happy holidays

I was stuck in traffic recently (please let this ridiculous transit strike end soon!) and this meme presented itself to me. Most of it was originally scribbled on the back of a coupon for dog food, braced on the steering wheel of the car while Lucas snoozed in the car seat behind me. Feel free [...]

Apparently I put the “pen” in “penis”

24 November 2008 How I love the Interwebs

Been getting a lot of blog fodder from CBC these days. Last week it was the top 10 TV shows courtesy of Q, and today’s post comes via old Spark podcasts I downloaded to listen to on our road trip this past weekend. According to the artificial intelligence at GenderAnalyzer.com, there is a 76% probability [...]

In which I inform the world about snack foods

13 August 2008 How I love the Interwebs

There is no end to the things I’ve learned through blog. Like, how to parse PHP and SQL on the fly. And also, why slings are better than baby bjorns and some great places to shop online. And about a thousand other things. In return, I try hard to send quality information out into the [...]

Birth story wordle

26 June 2008 How I love the Interwebs

Jody at Raising WEG always finds the coolest things! I first saw the wordle word cloud at her place. I made this one using Lucas’s birth story post. Neat, eh? Click on it to see the full-size version in the Wordle gallery, or to make yer own. Edited to add: that came out so cool [...]
