On My Return and Life is A Carnival
- Comments Off
Triumphantly returning from the Provincial championships, gold medal in hand, I am back, dear reader (no not my gold medal, I am far past those capabilities, my daughters now are both holders of Gold Medals). I was always impressed with this kind of stuff and thought how expensive they are, however, after convening a tournament [...]

Blogsoldiers, Blogcatalog and others
So I have been attempting to get new eyes on the Financial web site, by resurrecting my Blogsoldiers account, and joining various “chain letters” on linking, but I am not too sure this will really bear (bare?) too much fruit.

No I don’t fancy myself a great writer of fiction (although, I’m sure there is a great novel in me somewhere, unfortunately it’s next to my winning [...]
Google Video
- Comments Off
Trying to figure out how to get Google videos to play like YouTube videos using embed messages, but not succeeding just yet. Wanted to put up the Rick Mercer “Knee in the Package” tax video which is always popular and funny too. Seems like it is set up on Google, to not be able to [...]
More Video and Myspace?
- Comments Off
So everywhere I read suggests putting more and more videos and podcasts into your blog to help get folks interested in things. Where do people get the time or resources to do this? I added a little personal content a while back (my daughter sinking a 3 point shot clip), but can’t think of much [...]
