We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future. - George Bernard Shaw. LAC uncovers document more precious than gold! I'm glad the Olympics are over. I was sick of hearing about how poorly Canadian athletes were fairing and I was/am sick of hearing how the Canadian government should give more money to sports and Olympic aspiring athletes. Deserving of funding than athletes. Between LAC and the National Archives of Australia. While the playbill is ultimately...

We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future. - George Bernard Shaw. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. I saw the movie on the weekend and it was well worth getting to bed at 3am as a result. It was amazing, a really great way to end the movie franchise. I thought it provided closure for the books, too; up until now, I hadn't fully believed that J.K. Rowling was not actually. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Welcome to my blog! Extending Your...

We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future. - George Bernard Shaw. Week 3, Thing 7: Flickr Mashups and Open Source. One of the many great features of Flickr is the fact that it was designed as open source software. A software program that is considered open source means that its code is accessible to developers so that they may use it to design and create other online programs and software. Links to this post. Week 3, Thing 6: Flickr, Photos, and Fun!

We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future. - George Bernard Shaw. Since being in New Zealand I have had a few opportunities to put into practise some of the theories I learned at school last year. As a newly graduated public historian, I am very aware of instances where the introduction of some kind of public history could greatly benefit an institution or natural setting. Mains today, only slightly marred by the human interference of the 1870s. An...

We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future. - George Bernard Shaw. No more pennies from heaven. One-cent piece, 1858. Earlier this month, a Senate committee issued a report calling for the elimination of the one-cent coin from Canadian currency. The report cited many reasons, the most prevalent being that it costs 1.5 cents to make our smallest coin. It also doesn't buy what it once did. First one-cent piece struck by Dominsion of Canada, 1876. Families...

We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future. - George Bernard Shaw. Played to a sold out crowd at the Red Dog Tavern in Peterborough on Saturday. It was such a good show! Links to this post. Love is in the air. Last weekend, we took a trip to London to visit our friends Mike and Meghan. I imagine their first Christmas as a new family will be the best yet. Congratulations guys! Links to this post. I wore my winter coat for the first time this morning....

We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future. - George Bernard Shaw. What the sky taught me. The digital history Sky exhibit has long since ended but a summary post is definitely necessary! Overall, I think the exhibit was a success. We had quite a few visitors throughout the day including faculty, library staff, and some students and from what I could tell, they all seemed to enjoy our digital creations! 1: The less information the better! 3: Sometimes, ...
