Is that what this tells us?

Dietitians of Canada tells us. They can also help you find a list of Czech-speaking dietitians.

In 2001 I called them abominable and inane. In 2002 I asked:

…why is it that the expensive centrepiece of our primary secular and religous holiday consists of a illuminated duck drinking from an illuminated champagne fountain?

Finally the Capital Commission has come to its senses; here’s a clip from a story running on the CBC Prince Edward Island website (emphasis mine):

Give them a few more years and they’ll have Founder’s Hall converted to something useful, and Nickelback banned from the waterfront.

These folks in Italy are podcasting. I don’t understand a world of Italian, but it certainly sounds like a lyrical language. So I’ve signed up to see if I can tunnel some subconscious Italian comprehension into my brain.

This is traditionally the time of year when I have a sudden urge to ditch PEI and run away to Lamu. Too much cold, wind, rain, and no sign of improvement for seven months.

Let’s look back.

In 2003, I bought a new pair of pants and Daniel started a weblog.

In 2002, I was railing on about the Capital Commission again.

In 2001, I was recalling Robertson Davies and obsessing about television.

In 2000, it was all about I’ll Be Seeing You. That is my favourite of the pieces I’ve produced for radio.

Here’s an excerpt from yesterday’s entry in the weblog of The Global Trip, written by a blogger named Erik who’s on day number 391 of a trip around the world:

Erik is a good writer, and his blog is a comprehensive tale of his travels, with a good mixture of travelogue, personal reflection, and wacky tales of adventure.

You can follow Erik’s trip — along with the round-the-worlding of a group others — on the Blog Around The World website.

Can someone tell me, in plain language, what “enterprise” means when used marketing technology products with phrases like “enterprise class?” Does it just mean “for business” or “for a whole bunch of people,” or is there some more subtle meaning?

Google unleashed Google Scholar today, in beta. Here’s a search for my Dad, the scholar.

If you’ve got the travel bug, it seems like this season is a spectacularly good time to take the plunge. In a half hour of light searching, I’ve found fares like Air Canada Halifax to London return for $458 CDN (leaving Nov. 22, returning Dec. 1) and United Washington, D.C. to Osaka, Japan return for $466 US (leaving Nov. 22, returning Dec. 2). Remember, from Charlottetown you can fly to Boston, New York, Montreal or Washington with only 15,000 Aeroplan miles, and from there you can jump off to pretty well anywhere.
