Wow. A CBC New Media initiative that’s actually useful.

Put CBC.ca headlines on your Web site. I suggest the Science section.

OK, I’ve got the cracker bowl. I’ll be on cam tonight with it.

This almost has to be a joke.

Almost.

(Found on memepool.)

Blogger has a new subscription-based service, and I’m thinking of signing up.

And it’s not just because of the cool features the new service has (although they are cool), but it would also reflect my belief that services on the Web can’t stay free forever.

Blogger is a great service and I think we should support them. Ad revenue just can’t sustain a Web business anymore.

Sorry, Eric.

Ye Pow’rs wha mak mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill o’ fare,
Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware
That jaups in luggies;
But, if ye wish her gratefu’ prayer,
Gie her a Haggis!

— Robbie Burns, “Address to a Haggis”

Get your Haggis right here!
Chopped heart and lungs
Boiled in a wee
sheep’s stomach!
Tastes as good as it sounds.

— Groundskeeper Willie, “Lisa the Beauty Queen’”

My mom found my silver cracker bowl!

*blink*

OK, so maybe that doesn’t seem blog-worthy to you, but wait till you see it.

How cool is it that Canada’s Olympic speed skaters and skiiers are going to look like the newest members of Alpha Flight?

I swear, Catriona LeMay Doan could crush Brazil nuts with her thighs.

I wore a kilt for the first time since August at Pandemonium this weekend. Here I am putting the bleedin’ thing on.

And I think I’ve finally figured out why it never looks the way I’d really like it to. Behold, the secret of the belted plaid.

Oh, and I gotta get me one of these.

(Yes, this is what I did instead of working today. This, and learning how to use one of these.)

With Chiroclinix bankrupt and off the Web, a bunch of my links in the on-line section are dead.

And because the articles never got crawled by Google (for the same reason my blog and CBC articles don’t get crawled), there’s no Google cache to retrieve the articles from.

I was able to find one using the Internet Wayback Machine. And this one got published on another site. But that’s it.

But, frankly, it’s no big loss.

For a show about nothing, Salon sure does dissect it rather thoroughly.

(Man, I really should get to work…)
