Small Time Video
Gormley was critical of the bad language in Gunderson’s videos. I don’t care for foul language in most music either, but at least Gormley has a valid excuse for acting…
You Scratch My Back

Regina City Council meeting – Deadblog
(Liveblog notes, but no wifi to upload in real time so this is a deadblogging instead.) First attempt at council being paperless. When we entered the chamber we were all…
ConCalls: Fraud Not all Robocalls in #RoboCon

Extending Habitability
What does “extending habitability” mean? It explains “sustainability”. I prefer to sometimes call it “survivability”, because without the delicate balance our ecosystem and societies are teetering on, there’s no possible…

ConCalls: Now it Gets Interesting #RoboCon
I’m kidding. RoboCon has been the biggest collective Canadian (Christian-) Conservative cock-up in the history of bonehead crooked cover-up conspiracy scandals. It’s always been interesting, we just didn’t collectively realize…
Timeraiser for Fundraiser
