The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
So, my guest posters have been *much* better than I have with the whole “Stuff Books Taught Me” theme. And they’ve written these beautiful, touching, insightful masterpieces. And me, not so much. But they have inspired me to talk about the first book I remember: Donkey Daniel in Bethlehem. It’s a book about the Christian […] →Read more
Who better to write a guest posting with my theme of “Stuff Books Taught Me” than a librarian? This guest posting was written by the lovely librarian, Rebecca, of Larocque and Roll. Last summer, four librarians from Nigeria, Cuba and Iran were denied visas to go to the IFLA [1] conference in Montreal. While I’m […] →Read more
It’s time for… a list! Who doesn’t love lists? Hitler, that’s who. Everyone else loves lists. And now I give you one. It’s the list of all the books I currently have out of the library. Correction: the libraries. Because I have some books out of the VPL and some out of UBC library. Books […] →Read more
Decided to go for a change of scenery, so Tod and I are now at Workspace, where a slew of other bloggers are Blogathoning! I’d post a pic but it’s time to post, so this is just going to have to be the shortest blog post of the day! What’s Workspace, you ask? It’s this: […] →Read more
So, as I was reading Dan’s guest posting when he sent it to me, I kept saying things in response. Like, outloud. Like, as if Dan were here. So I figure that will make as good a posting as any right now! His words in <blockquotes>, my responses beneath. pants wearing spider Pretty much the […] →Read more
A guest posting from my Official Statisitian and Tattoo Consultant Holy crapshite! I almost forgot to write my blog entry! I’m horrible. But then again, I remembered so maybe I’m not so horrible after all. I blame my PhD, and my Post Doc, and a slew of other academic pursuits for my memory lapse. I […] →Read more
Taking the screenshot of my tweet for my last posting reminded me that I totally need to share with you my favourite tweets! And the favouriting of my own tweets isn’t quite as narcissistic as it looks. I mostly do it to make particular tweets of mine easier to find when I want to go […] →Read more
Long time readers will know that I’m a *big* fan of To Do lists. Well, Tod recently introduced me to Toodledo, a really cool online To Do list. Apparently it’s linked to the system in the book Getting Things Done, which I haven’t yet read but for which I’m on the wait list at the […] →Read more
This posting is an idea that’s been floating around in my head for ages after a conversation that I had with my friend and running partner from my first half marathon, Kelly, on one of her subsequent visits to Vancouver. Perhaps this is a sign that I am now officially an old fogey, but I just […] →Read more
And now a guest posting by Kalev, my Overseer of Deb0rking and Tsar of the Nerdery! Which is brilliantly written (as Kalev’s stuff always is), the likes of which have no been seen since the last guest posting I posted today. I figured it was time to give you some good writing, since you’ve been […] →Read more
