I was wandering around some MP's sites. (Not idly, I am weird but not that weird: trying to find some info about something Blair mentioned) Anyways, I came across Belinda Stronach's site (sigh, dear Belinda). And I ended up wondering..is it legal for someone to use the seal of Canada like that on a website, as she has done on the splash page? I would have thought that you had to be basically a government agency to use the Lion and the Unicorn and all that...Anyone out there know about it? Saturday, January 29, 2005
Beer, is there anything it can't do? Classic story of man surviving through beer. 60 half litres of beer? That's one heck of a holiday, sir. I salute you with a can of Pilsener Urquell. Seen at the Corner. Goodfellas, you know...one of us...Got out to the National Capital Region Elite Blog Mafia meeting thing. We met up at Royal Oak II on Laurier Ave. Bruce, Blair and the delightful Shannon were already there. Keith and THE PHANTOM joined us later. Some amusing anecdotes were told and some html tips passed around. A good time seemed to have been had by all. Thanks to Shannon for setting it all up. Friday, January 21, 2005
James Lileks gets a Mini Mac (hiss!) and then gets a magazine he doesn't want: “Is it time to stop hating Castro?” I don’t know; is he dead yet?Do read the rest of it. Wednesday, January 19, 2005
The Ghost of Tom Joad... When I've attended university as a young full time student or as a somewhat less young part time student, I've always had a sort of 'out of place' feeling about it. As though I didn't belong, and that the professors would soon get rid of me. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that I was the son of a truck driver..surrounded by the sons and daughters of the elite and the middle class. Or perhaps I'm just an awkward bastard. Colby Cosh has some pertinent points on a similar theme...and how such a background can bring both a sense of insecurity and a sense of how ridiculous people who've never really had to do menial work sound when they talk about the 'working class'.
