This appeared on my Flickr homepage in the section where they randomly show you a group you might be interested in joining:
I have two thoughts about this.
1) Wow, there really IS a Flickr group for everything. 1736 members… impressive. That’s hardcore.
2) “Bacon ‘n’ raisins”? Really?

This letter-to-the-editor appeared in my local newspaper yesterday:
Halloween is no treat!
To The Editor:
How I long for the beautiful fall season to reflect wholly on the loveliness of coloured leaves, pumpkins, apples, strolls on crisp autumn days — of life!
Halloween with its witches and occult practices has spoiled the season and is a bridge between good [...]

Allow me to share with you something I find both fascinating and slightly creepy. Well, maybe more than slightly.
I have a Flickr account. I am by no means a photographer (underline and highlight that, please), but I get a free Pro account through my ISP so, hey, why not make use of it. It doesn’t [...]

The vast majority of them are mundane, repetitive and clichéd (businessmen shaking hands; coworkers exaggeratedly pointing at the computer screen [kinda like this]; happy perfect family with two kids and photogenic Golden Retriever). Some of them are unique and eye-catching or just [...]

The cover of this week’s Maclean’s made me laugh:
Special edition? Behind-the-scenes coverage? Exclusive photos? Aw, look how cute! It’s like People magazine after the Academy Awards… but for political geeks! I was expecting to find pages of catty commentary about Elizabeth May’s Oscar night election night attire or a thoughtful piece on how Jack [...]

I used to have a Myspace blog. I liked it. It was therapeutic. It was fun. It gave me something at least semi-constructive to do online. Then I realized hanging around Myspace made me feel like I was in high school again, and I reallyreally hated high school. I mean, I went to one of [...]
