I’ve spent 15 of the past 17 hours in bed with Duncan and a wicked headache. The other two hours involved stuffing Duncan into his leopard-skin carrying case and dragging him over to the vet’s for his annual checkup, where it was revealed that he has gained two-tenths of a kilo and now weighs 9.5 […]

Dr. Samantha King, author of Pink Ribbons Inc.: Breast Cancer and the Politics of Philanthropy, spoke about the commercialization of breast cancer at the Centretown Community Health Centre last week.
She noted that it wasn’t so long ago that breast cancer carried considerable stigma. Efforts to bring the disease out into the open were highly […]

On Saturday morning I joined twenty-five other local bloggers for breakfast at an undisclosed location. I enjoyed catching up with those I hadn’t seen for awhile, and adding a face and a little more dimension to those I’ve only known online.

Young love
I’ve been thinking about the origins of my relationship with newspapers the other day, after Jo Stockton started a discussion about the Citizen.

Just a quick head’s up. Knitnut.net will be moving to its new server tomorrow (Wednesday). This will mean you probably won’t be able to connect for a day or two, as the DNS change propagates around the internet.
Propagation is just a fancy word for server word-of-mouth, as all the servers in the universe find out […]

I don’t know about you, but I thought addicts were notoriously irresponsible about disposing of used needles. From everything I’ve heard in the media and at community meetings, our parks, playgrounds, schoolyards and front lawns are practically carpeted in used needles.
There’s no question some needles are ending up in those places. But apparently it’s not […]

Remember my next-door-neighbour, Brian? The one who got rid of my wasp nests and mowed my lawn and was just generally competent and helpful and quiet?
He moved.
The landlords then spent the month of February fixing the place up. They painted walls and replaced appliances and carpeting, and things like that. The For Rent sign […]

Don’t worry, I’m not about to start giving you household tips or anything like that. You’ve already seen my living room, so it’s too late for that.
Lately things have been a little shaky from a technological perspective here at knitnut.net.
Some of you have brought it to my attention that there’s a weird error message cropping […]
