Error messages – sorry!

9 October 2007 Uncategorized

Sigh. I don’t know what happened, but please ignore the extraneous error messages and wonky formatting. I did an SQL db backup last night, but everything was fine later in the evening. According to Google, I’m getting the funky messages because of a disk size problem at my host’s end. I’ve raised a ticket, so [...]

Chills

26 September 2007 Postcards from my uterus

My mom and I were chatting about images from the Internet and pregnancy, and how some of the coolest images you see are actually photoshopped and fake. Somehow, that made me think of the image I’d seen a long time ago, one that I knew was real, of a surgeon performing in utero surgery on [...]

Computer versus TV

8 August 2007 Uncategorized

The good news is, the boys aren’t watching a lot of TV these days.  I’d say the daily consumption has dropped to less than an hour, and I won’t embarrass myself by letting on exactly how many hours they were consuming before.  Some days when I was on vacation, the TV stayed off all day. [...]

Blog woes

7 August 2007 Uncategorized

I’m feeling a lot of blog angst today.  First, while I was on vacation they unilaterally cut access to blogs from work.  Ugh!  No blogs whatsoever!  You might remember, I’m starting work on a project to integrate social media more fully into how we communicate as an organization; this isn’t a step in the right [...]

The friendly floatees

23 July 2007 Uncategorized

A hat-tip to Kerry, who shared this link with us last week. It’s as engaging as the idea of the escaped elephants taking a tour of suburbia from last week, and I couldn’t help but share. Picture, if you will, 29,000 children’s bath toys – a virtual armada of red beavers, blue turtles, green frogs [...]

The literary education of Stephen Harper

24 April 2007 Uncategorized

I love this. Canadian author Yann Martel, perhaps best known for his book Life of Pi, has taken on a project of sorts. He has appointed himself literary tutor of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, in an attempt to make Harper “a more arts-friendly prime minister.” Part of that campaign is to mail Harper a [...]

As requested

17 January 2007 Uncategorized

The only picture I didn’t include in my home-improvement extravaganza this weekend was of these metal bars I got at Ikea – and of course, that’s what you’ve been asking me about! (click to embiggen) You can find them here.

Self-conscious

18 December 2006 Uncategorized

You know how sometimes you’re in a room crowded full of people, and everyone is practically shouting to be heard, and all of a sudden you say something particularly intimate as loud as you can – just when the rest of the room falls silent? Or when you’re in the middle of telling an anecdote [...]

Goodbye to Greg Wiggle

29 November 2006 Uncategorized

No fewer than three people have e-mailed me today to flag this important breaking news, and who am I to hoard the information all to myself. Heck, if it’s important enough to appear in the Globe and Mail, it merits attention in blog. We’d been hearing rumours for a while now that Greg Page, also [...]
