The Canadian corner of the blogosphere is abuzz about yesterday’s report that the CBC will be slashing 800 jobs and selling their body parts for money. So many people have been laid off across all the industries, but cuts to the CBC hurt all of us, not just those who were once on its payroll. [...]

Ada Lovelace Day
That was yesterday, though I didn’t know about it until today. Interestingly, you’d think I’d have heard about a day commemorating women in technology, given that I qualify, but then again, I really don’t care for this flag-waving much. When I was a teaching assistant at UBC I had to mark an assignment where students [...]
Since my last blog post was so serious
Here’s a Youtube that’s been entertaining me to no end for the last week: Turtle Rapes Shoe I have received various weird looks from friends upon showing them this video, so I apologize if this goes against your delicate sensibilities, but the combination of cute and disturbing makes me oh so happy.

Daylight Savings makes cats barf
That’s my theory, anyways. Several friends complained to me about their cat or cats barfing this morning, while I, too, was woken up by the familiar glug-glug-glug-glug-… splork!. Surely this is no coincidence, but the only thing distinguishing this day from others (or this Sunday from other non-puking Sundays) is that clocks got put forward [...]
Friday Cat Blogging: suck suck
Since it’s Friday, here’s a picture of my cat being rather into my fleece robe. I have a black fleece robe and she would curl up on it if it were on my bed or floor, or on me if I were wearing it, and I wasn’t sure if it was that her mother was [...]
