35. I asked someone what a conference room was called. They said (seabird name). Unprompted, she grumbled: totally inaccurate. The room only has photos of pelicans. It’s not right. It’s the wrong bird. No attention to details.

Hey #MastoArt

My wife @lakelaur is ridiculously talented at painting but doesn't give herself nearly the credit she deserves and doesn't post her stuff to sites that she could sell it on, so I'm attempting to get the ball rolling here.

This #FatPositive abstract goddess/demon is about 49"x61", ready for that great big empty wall that is crying out for original art!

Will personally deliver to #Winnipeg, elsewhere we can talk about shipping.

$200? We are pretty durn broke and I'm jobhunting.

When I was 11 years old, a babysitter took me to see All the President’s Men. I think she was in love with Robert Redford. But that afternoon, I fell in love with journalism - and the ideals of the crusading Washington Post. Maybe that was a Hollywood fantasy. But the WaPo remained my ideal all through my own journalism career. What a bathetic end to a legacy of excellence. Democracy dies in cowardice, it would appear. #WashingtonPost #WaPo
Colourful traffic calming (#Halifax).

I'm looking for a student for an M.Sc. in Computer Science at the University of Calgary. *This is a fully funded position.*

The project: building tools to help understand how "retro" video games were made under amazingly constrained circumstances. While it's a CS position, this is interdisciplinary work done in collaboration with archaeologists and others.

Needs: strong coding skills, good writing abilities. Ideally: low-level, reverse engineering, or compiler experience.
