A couple of weeks ago, a reporter from the Guelph Mercury called our house looking for me. That’s not something that happens every day, so as I walked to the phone my mind raced through the last little while, trying to remember if I’d done anything stupid lately. Luckily, it turned out I hadn’t, even …

Access Recreation Day: It’s…Today!
Remember back when I posted about Access Recreation Day? Remember how it was off in the future? Well, it’s today! The day has arrived, and we watch all our hard work pay off.

Blogger Is Broken, Rain Is Stupid And Carin Is On TV
So Blogger has been mostly fixed for about a week now, but things are still a little off. If you ever use the categories in the sidebar to find things, you may have noticed that they’ve been a little screwed up. Some with strange names, some empty, some with weird typos that we didn’t make. …

Voters Turn Out, Ignatieff And Duceppe Turn In
Yes, more election things. I’m happy to say that it looks like the voter turnout went up. It didn’t go up by much, but at least it went in the right direction instead of setting a new record low like happened in 2008. That year, only 59.1% of voters bothered, but this year the numbers …

Can’t Say I’m A Fan Of A Majority Of What Happened Here
Last night, Canada sent a message. It’s quite the confusing message, but one was most definitely sent. I’m not even sure where to start, but I guess starting at the top would make sense. Stephen Harper and the Conservatives won a majority. What the…how the…why the…who are you people!? I wish I could get inside …
