Inspired by Joel Kelly’s first experiment with Videoblogging, I grabbed a flip and made my first attempt at video blogging. In the aftermath, Joel noticed that people wanted to talk about his vacation beard more than what he was actually saying.
On the whole, the advantage to video is that you have appearance and sound to [...]
I love the man’s music. I have deepest sympathies for the family, especially his kids. But that’s where it ends for me. Michael Jackson’s death is a personal matter for those close to him. I really wish the media and all his so-called ‘fans’ would butt out [...]
Today’s local paper had a toilet bowl on the cover. A toilet bowl. Yes, I know the article was about how the new Sewage Treatment plant in Halifax is done broke and won’t be fixed for a while. But guess what? We didn’t have a Sewage Treatment plant attached to the [...]
Presentations are not easy to do well even if you are a designer or professional speaker. Understanding your audience, having a catchy topic, being loud enough to be heard are all things that require practice. Designers and professional speakers have the bonus of experience (and pre-set slides) on their side – you probably [...]
A few colleagues of mine have released a blog for MPOW about reading called The Reader.
Kudos to David, Kristina, Maureen and Laurel for what looks like a fairly impressive blog so far (my name is up there only to put in a few bits of CSS here and there).

I am very pleased to announce that, along with some great players (namely Craig and Jon), Halifax is going to have a podcamp on January 25th. The even more interesting news (for librarydom) is that it will be hosted at the Alderney Gate Library with support from MPOW.
So. . . you might have some questions? [...]
I just returned from my very first Third Tuesday New Brunswick event in Moncton. I had alot of fun, met alot of interesting people and also got to meet Amber MacArthur, Jeff MacArthur and Christopher Dick. Honestly, it great to meet web celebs who are willing to give you five minutes of their [...]
UPDATE: I HAZ Embed Code now!
Killam Properties (the people who run Quinpool Tower) team up with Picnic Face ( the people behind the PowerThirst Video ) to bring you Landlord Lou, the only sane presence in a world full of murderous property thugs, annoying roomates and er, WTH? a dancing [...]
Tim Spalding of Library Thing has initiated an idea for an open source, crowd created replacement for the Dewey Decimal System called OSC. On the whole, I am for starting anything. I think entrepreneurialism like this is a good thing. Competition of any kind cannot hurt the process of information organization — it makes [...]
