I signed myself up for an Academia.edu account yesterday. It seems like an interesting hybrid of an academic homepage and social networking site. Has the potential for being a useful place to network if more people sign up for it (currently there are 5 people who have signed up from York–seriously under-represented).

I was farting around on Facebook and saw a text-ad for personalized love songs. The cost? $299. WTF?
Though I would never, ever, ever spend money on a personalizing a love song, I was curious just what was up. So I visited TailoredMusic.com. It’s pretty much as expected—a flash header with a slideshow [...]
Just south of North Bitchburn and just north of Bishop Auckland is Toronto. Just to clarify, that’s England’s Toronto.
I would just like to move there to see what kind of confusion it would create. There or North Bitchburn.
So, I’m a big fan and enthusiastic user of Flickr. Its helped me get about 15.3x the enjoyment out of taking photographs then I had prior to becoming a member. And while the site is pretty intuitive and easy to use, I’ve found some extra tools that help make Flickring easier, and that [...]

A screen-grab of a Major League Baseball headline today:
On purpose? Innocent mistake? You’ve gotta think they knew what they were doing with this headline.
Petfinder.com is a great way to find dogs available for adoption and in fact, Herbie was found with Petfinder’s help! Usually they have some sappy description about the dog that is completely irrelevant to the dog’s demeanour (something along the lines of what celebrity a dog looks like, for example). I was looking to see [...]
Oh joy! Not only do the Masons want me to join, they’re going to give me a share of 2.5 million dollars (US no less!):

I was surfing the web, as I am want to do, and came across the following story: Good Samaritan returns $1-million purse
The gist of it is this: a Toronto family, in California for a wedding, left a gen-u-ine Louis Vuitton purse filled with jewelry and cash on a bench while sightseeing. They did [...]
I just got some "GET A DEGREE BASED ON LIFE EXPERIENCE!" spam in my inbox. Not such a big deal normally. While it’s true that I’m honoured that Clarence has been trying to get in touch with me; sadly, he doesn’t say who I am. He doesn’t even say what University he’s from. Usually, it’s [...]
About me
I am an education researcher and practitioner, with a focus on higher education and the environment. I consider myself, above all, a naturalist. I'm the pack-mate of two border terriers. I live within the Speed River Watershed in Guelph, Ontario. I enjoy photography. I lead nature tours across North America. I teach courses on Natural History. I likely spend too much time on the Internet.
Oh, and the opinions expressed here are wholly my own.
