The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
Kalev brought this video to my attention: I find this video remarkable candid. Clark admits that when she was a politician, she voted against — and campaigned against — the Single Transferrable Vote (BC-STV) in the last referendum because the old system — First-Past-The-Post — served her interests as a politician, not because it served […] →Read more
…so instead of a blog post, I give you a link to photos of me at the half marathon. I can’t put the actual photos up here, as they are all copyrighted. And if you follow that link you will see that the photos are very low resolution, you know, so you can’t steal them […] →Read more
Since I’m signed up for several teaching & learning e-newsletters and the faculty list servs for both of the departments in which I teach, I get a lot of notices about education-related events, books, and other resources. The one that showed up in my inbox today, however, caught my eye: Dear Education Leader, Are you […] →Read more

I have a tendency to do things the opposite from how other people do things. If most people find something easy, I’ll have trouble with it, but I find the thing that everyone else is confounded by to be simple. When I was in high school, it never ceased to amaze my then-boyfriend’s family that […] →Read more
The BMO Vancouver Marathon is looking for volunteers! From an email I just got: We are looking for Course Marshals or as we refer to them as “the cheering squad” ~ help lead these runners along the route! We need some strong people to help at the finish line and always a little help giving […] →Read more
Spent the evening going on a lovely walk with some fellow bloggers and some peeps from the BC Healthy Living Alliance (BCHLA). It was a really neat idea – with an eye to the upcoming provincial election, the BCHLA hosted a blogger walk in their neighbourhood, where they pointed out some features in the ‘hood […] →Read more
I can’t believe what they monkey fighting did to the Monday-to-Friday best line in the bestest freaking movie ever: →Read more
