I meant to write this post earlier, but I got hit by a wave of tiredness. Yes, I know part of the reason for the tiredness is me being a toolbag and playing Uno until 3 in the morning last night. Not smart at all. I just had to write about our experience voting because …

Remember To Vote Today
Not much to say here, just posting to point out that for many of us, today is municipal election day. If you didn’t do so in advance and aren’t already lined up or planning to be on your way, you really should get out and vote. I know a lot of people don’t think that …
Congratulations To Ray, And Whatever The Opposite Of Congratulations Is To The Stone Road Mall
Carin and I would like to take a second to congratulate Guelph Mayoral candidate Ray Mitchell on accomplishing what we believe to be a first for his run.

The School Board Is Making Our Heads Explode
Ray Mitchell said last week that he was going to send the Guelph Mercury a nice happy letter asking what figures of speech it would be safe to use etc. I haven’t seen his letter, but I did come across this beautiful piece. I’m officially a fan of Francis Prescott. I experienced a mixed reaction …

First, happy Thanksgiving to all the Canadian readers. Hope you have lots of yummy food and pleasant …
My Phone Chat With Ray Mitchell
You know how I told Ray Mitchell to stop beating up on himself? Well, he found our blog, and told me to give him a call. I did. I don’t think I’m going to change his mind, and I don’t expect to, but he heard me, so that’s pretty damn cool. I don’t think I …

I just finished watching the mayoral debate on Rogers TV, and I have to say this. Ray, you made me very sad. Actually, you made me want to transport myself through my TV so I could grab you by the shoulders, shake you, and tell you to stop beating up on yourself for the love …

Some Info About Voting In The Municipal Election
Here’s a little tip for folks voting in Guelph in the municipal election. Remember when I was raving about those thumb switch audio voting machines? Well, apparently, the machines are even cooler than I thought. I guess they have features on them to help people who can’t move their hands. I don’t understand it all, …

Help Shape Accessible Voting For Ontario
I got a little email this morning that I figured I’d pass on. I bet I got it because of commenting on their accessible voting plan. There’s a small part of me, a small crazy part, that’s thinking about going for this. But I don’t know where the meetings are, how long they are, and …
