  • Elect Stacey Robinsmith to the SFU Senate

    This week I accepted a nomination to the Simon Fraser University Senate. I am nominated as a student rep for the Faculty of Education to the SFU Senate. If I am elected to the SFU senate I will bring to the SFU senate the same level of energy and enthusiasm that I bring to my…

  • Sugata Mitra on TED Talks

    Interesting video from TED Talks that I watched the other day. It is a bit long for the average YouTube viewer. That makes me wonder at what point in our lives did a 20 minute video become a “bit long” but that is another discussion. Have a look and listen. Care to comment? I find…

  • Mercedes Serenity; the Perfect Family Vehicle

    I found what I thought was the perfect family vehicle. It was sooo close to being perfect.   Introducing the Mercedes Serenity. Yes, almost the perfect family vehicle. I was returning home from a day at Barbecue on the By-Pass when I spotted this vehicle. The “ding” went off in my head and I wheeled…

  • New Family Car Search Picks Up Again

    As many of you will recall, sometime ago we started to look for a new family car. You also might remember the first car I test drove, the Ferrari Maranello. Obviously that didn’t work out (not enough room for the car seats). However, now I may have found the perfect vehicle for our family. Unfortunately,…

  • Freelance Camp Learning

    I changed the header picture on my blog, in case you didn’t notice. The reason I made the change is because at today’s Freelance Camp I learned how to make the change. I also added in some Facebook and Twitter “share” buttons in case you want to share my brilliant writing.

  • You Will Be Diaper Free One Day…

    Apparently there is hope for my future that the topic of discussion in my home will not always be dominated by potty talk. Here is an excerpt from the blog post… Toilet learning: a.k.a. you are no longer fun at dinner parties because all you talk about are your child’s bowel movements. Have a read of this…

  • Back to School Driving and Walking Safety Tips

    This coming week is back to school for the kids and teachers of BC. Seeing as there will be thousands of kids going back to school this coming week I feel it is important to offer two pieces of advice, one to pedestrians (particularly kids) and one to drivers. First, kids, or for parents to tell their…

  • Freelance Camp at The Network Hub – River Market, New Westminster

    As many of my dedicated readers know, I am a fiend for social media. I love the way that social media connects people and builds communities where communities did not previously exist. I also appreciate the way that social media can help small start-up businesses promote their products and services. As I often tell my…

  • The Difference Between Need and Want

    Today we present for your benefit a few sage words of wisdom. First off, quit it with the, “I need…” routine. Get over it. You do not “need” that piece of shit that you are so set on wasting your money on. Admit it to yourself, you really do not need it. You “want” it. Big…
