Memories of Low-Tech Past
Yesterday's post inspired memories of technology past. Therefore before Office 2010. Before Windows...anything. I had this: It's a Brother AX-15 Typewriter. I remembered getting one for Christmas, and it did get a bit of use. Of course I wrote countless term papers for University, but every once in a while I would write stories. … Continue reading Memories of Low-Tech Past
I Unknowingly Taking a Page From George R.R. Martin’s Playbook
While browsing a Best Buy flyer a little while ago, I came upon a good deal for a white, 14 inch Toshiba laptop with Windows 8. I already have a 15 inch, with Windows XP, purchased in 2009. I actually paid to downgrade to XP as Vista still had bugs at the time. I meant … Continue reading I Unknowingly Taking a Page From George R.R. Martin’s Playbook
Sunny Days…oh..Sunny, Sunny, Sunny Days
I came of age in the 80's, but I think much of my musical tastes come from the 70's. It's the side effect of having a nine-and-a-half year age difference with my brother. He had all the greatest hits stuff from K-tel, Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, lots of ABBA on LP and 45's, and Queen's News … Continue reading Sunny Days…oh..Sunny, Sunny, Sunny Days
The Big, Hairy Project
The writer's group I mentioned self-published chapbooks of their work on occasion. The collection usually centres around a theme, and in January we decided on a fun, challenging one: Sasquatch. Yes, Big Foot. Why this creature of legend and fuzzy photography? (Although I can assure you we have clear proof of his existence..or her?) Well, the … Continue reading The Big, Hairy Project

If you wrote about a session in your own blog, leave a link and earn yourself a ping, or its equivalent. About That … Continue reading Manitoba Libraries Conference Recap
The Long Weekend Mix
After a week filled with conferences, I will publish on Monday, it's time to kick back and procrastinate catch up on a few things. Currently in my ears music from an app called rdio. People can listen to it for free from a laptop, or pay a small fee and have an app stream music from a … Continue reading The Long Weekend Mix
Spring Blooms and So Do My Allergies (With a Bonus Observations)
"What are you doing here?" asked my co-worker, genuinely concerned with my watery eyes and persistent sniffling. "It's allergies not a cold," I answered. On Friday I noticed the trees begin to bud around Winnipeg. Unfortunately my allergies decided to bud as well, leaving me with a nose feeling like a wad of cotton balls … Continue reading Spring Blooms and So Do My Allergies (With a Bonus Observations)
Library Types: Assemble!
That's right, folks, we assemble starting today. However, I will be there tomorrow. For now enjoy this entry from staff of Winnipeg Public Library.
Rolling Merrily Along
After the rambling/rant in the earlier post, we return to earth a little lighter than before. I had a look at my countdown widget, in 9 days I will attend the Manitoba Library Conference. I still have to get my ticket for the 50th Anniversary Mixer for the Library Technician program at Red River College. … Continue reading Rolling Merrily Along
