The other day while I was out having a fantastic day meeting new people, my Great Aunt Inez had passed away. I learned about her death when I returned home, and didn’t feel as sad as I expected I would, because she’d been unwell for more than a year after

Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: RoboCalls – Another robocall from Guelph Appears
** I wrote the first part of this blog post a couple days ago, and the story is very significantly updated, so I felt it should get the full attention of readers so they have better context for what the Prescott tweets from the other day probably meant. ** There
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: RoboCon – The Scope
What’s the scope of the RoboCall Conspiracy? Another Green blogger explained how to find Poutine, and narrow down who else could be involved, at least a day before the National Post figured it out and printed it. (I listed these details on March 1). March 4: “Mechanics of Robo-Calling: Not

The Leader Post could not be more funny; Funny strange, and “haha”. In a week where Robocalls are on the lips of every politically aware Canadian, they run this photo gallery… Gallery: Robots take over the world Robots swim, play soccer, and fight with lightsabers in our 2011 robot round-up.

Why do reasonable people consider that only supporters of Conservatives were responsible for the illegal robocalls? It’s because of evidence like this: ““Last week I was contacted by a voter who told me she received two calls during the election campaign. The first call was a live call asking her

Some people like me have been keenly following the RoboCon scandal where an anonymous Pierre Poutine, using a burner cellphone, placed misleading robodialled calls misdirecting voters away from their real polling stations. This is a clear violation of the Election Act, and Poutine knew this, which is why they used

I’ve got a bad case of RoboCon Fever. And the only known cure is plenty of Sixth Estate. Read his summary of events, filled with facts, and come back if you’re not up to speed. It’s only the greatest national mystery, underway for you to solve it before the RCMP

In the beginning there were BBSs (Bulletin Board Systems). In a foreshadowing of things to come, almost immediately following the invention of the Personal Computer (PC) they became communications devices as BBS systems were set up for hobbyists to use to share information and home-written programs. At this time PC

… on the Interweb thingy… An innocent post by a fellow Ottawa blogger – and pretty cool person – has caused a storm of sentences! A cacophony of curses! A maelström of meanness! And an onslaught of overreactions! Seems Zoom (The Knitnut) put up an innocent post soliciting opinions about

… you’re not for me. I have been experimenting with Adsense ads on my site for a while now. I figgered, “what the hell”, I get half decent traffic so maybe I can make a few bucks. Maybe enough to get extra toppings for my pizza! But no, I’m going

There’s nothing better than knowing another language. You can talk to someone else in a way that is exclusive, and special, and express yourself more clearly. I’ve dabbled in learning French, and have a very small vocabulary, and no grammatical skills to parle it. I’m functionally illiterate when it comes

I had a great time the other evening meeting many Regina and area Tweeters who took a few hours of their time to get off their computers and into the “real world” where they had to “talk” to people using “voice boxes”. There were more than 50 people who came,

IT’S A GOOD THING I DON’T KNOW AN AWFUL LOT ABOUT THE SASKATCHEWAN ELECTION BECAUSE IT SEEMS TOO DEPRESSING TO THINK ABOUT. ALSO THE KIDS ARE UPSET THAT THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY WITH THEIR OLD FRIENDS FROM MCMURRAY WHO ARE VISITING AND SHANNON WILL NOT ABIDE ANY

So obvious a 12 year old would know. What’s missing from SaskPower’s list of renewable sources to consider? #FutureFail == The Canadian Blog Awards are underway again, nominations are open. I used to help run the CBAs a few years ago, and it’s good to see they are still going. They are a fun way […]

More and more I find myself wandering over to Pushed to the Left and Loving It… so I thought I’d add a link to the site in my sidebar.
Worth a read if you’re a like-minded progressive thinker.

@OttawaDaddy pointed this out on Twitter this morning. I too am amazed at how few people used the Environment Canada radar site to see the storms approaching after receiving Twitter warning & retweets! Check it out. Easy to use, folks. This is what it showed this morning. The basics are: orange and red – bad. […]
