The river and the land sustain us. Wednesday, May 13, 2009. Jane's Walk in Walkerville. That we had in Walkerville went over really well. We had around forty people enjoying the warmth of the sun, of the company around them and of the stories they told of their neighbourhood. These folks were there and they describe the walk better than I can:. Http:/ www.internationalmetropolis.com/? Http:/ www.scaledown.ca/2009/05/04/ive-never-had-so-much-hope/. Http:/ www.lulujane.ca/?

And I've been blogging since 1999. Of course, this gives me no 'net cred as my first blog, Rain Barrel. Was done using Frontpage and hosted on Geocities. Yes, I am a librarian. Changing the rules so more can win. My future self is awesome. Thursday, September 27, 2012. How to load Zotero into a webpage with 3 lines of PHP.

4-0-Wonderland: June 2009
http://4-0-wonderland.newjackalmanac.ca/2009_06_01_archive.html
The river and the land sustain us. Monday, June 29, 2009. Fear of a Tallgrass Planet. Another day, another piece in the Windsor Star decrying the weed-riddled parks. That have flourished during the City of Windsor's outside workers 'work-stoppage'. Personally, I think that the emergence of prairie birds in our city parks. Has been the only positive outcome that has come out of this unfortunate situation that we've found ourselves in. (Actually, that and grass-braiding. And Robert L. Ryan. This 19...And t...

4-0-Wonderland: The War on the Care (of Cycling Infrastructure)
http://4-0-wonderland.newjackalmanac.ca/2014/07/the-war-on-care-of-cycling.html
The river and the land sustain us. Sunday, July 20, 2014. The War on the Care (of Cycling Infrastructure). The War on the Car. Was one of the most memorable slogans of the Rob Ford mayoral campaign of 2010. At the time, it raised incredulity among cycling enthusiasts who didn't feel that they were in a war (and if they were, they felt that they were on the side that was bearing the causalities from each skirmish). But despite the protests of the bike-riding pinkos. The problem, however, is that the impro...

http://4-0-wonderland.newjackalmanac.ca/2010_05_01_archive.html
The river and the land sustain us. Monday, May 10, 2010. What's next after Windsor-Essex ChangeCamp? Windsor has already had its very own. And the Windsor-Essex ChangeCamp. I find it fascinating that not only are there are so many small-scale and local events out there (such as speaking series like The Treehouse Group. But there are now several of these types of events that explicitly lend themselves as a template for others to adopt and bring to their own community - events like Ignite. The CEO of The W...

4-0-Wonderland: March 2009
http://4-0-wonderland.newjackalmanac.ca/2009_03_01_archive.html
The river and the land sustain us. Sunday, March 22, 2009. Incubuating small businesses in a Windsor kitchen. Like other local bloggers. I recommend reading Alfie Morgan's Turnaround Plan to Fix City Economy. That was printed in yesterday's Windsor Star. I don't agree with everything Morgan proposes in his plan but it contains a world's more sense than some of the schemes that the past Windsor Essex Development Commission dreamed up. Since St. Clair College offers a culinary skills program. They are few ...

4-0-Wonderland: September 2014
http://4-0-wonderland.newjackalmanac.ca/2014_09_01_archive.html
The river and the land sustain us. Friday, September 26, 2014. Open Data allows us to tell our own stories. I'm the current lead of Open Data Windsor-Essex. And so I can say with some authority that most people have no idea what Open Data. Is and why they should care enough to ask for it. So I'd like to give an illustrated example to demonstrate the power of Open Data in the pursuit of trying to make sense of the world. Curious about this, I thought I would use Open Data provided by the federal governmen...
