Bloggery Gone Awry

Attended a great lecture last night all about the radio broadcasting industry in Canada. A screening of the Radio Revolution documentary was followed by a great discussion about the CRTC and future trends in radio. I had heard of The Big 8 before; however, the film really opened my mind to a new perspective of [...]

Thought these were pretty neat, they don’t do much for educating the user but they do make you think! posted on http://jgarlough.blogspot.com/

Well, the title pretty much says it all. Whilst in Stratford on the weekend, I decided it was time to purchase the next instrument to add to my small collection. Knowing full well that the next instrument was to be a tambourine, it was only a matter of choosing one from the rather large selection. [...]

Well, it’s happened. I knew it was coming with all of the Genetically Modified food debates of years-gone-by… You can now purchase and cultivate your own Genetically Modified weeds!

Surviving my first Chamber of Commerce meeting ever, I attempted my second on the same day. There was less meeting content (boo) but more meeting attendance (yae).

I can’t believe I’ve made it through 27 years of my life without being forced to have a thorough understanding of economics. Today that streak has come to an end. I spent the morning reading my glossy new textbook and gobbling up the theories like a kid in a candy store. So THIS is what [...]

Early this morning (1:45am to be exact) I was just about to shut down my computer when an email popped into my inbox. A good friend of mine from the greater Toronto area made my day by sending me an invite to Gmail! Woo hoo! Lydia, you’re awesome!!! What’s even better is that I was [...]
