I've been at my worst when it comes to putting in my daily entries, I guess I could call it a weakness although it is one of the most simple tasks that one is given. I'd like to apologize once again though for my inability to carry out such a simple task.

On that note, I've been spending my time making phone calls in relation to my...

I posted another 2 videos in the digital storytelling series on the KORI media player.  After a bit of a wait to get some feedback on it and dealing with those, which took me an additional 2 minutes, the two new ones are up.  I even had to contact two people to ask who presented that day.  Thanks to them, Susan O'Donnell, and Rudy from...

My supervisor also asked me to photocopy this 300 and something page book, it's...

I have made some modifications to several videos already posted online.  I found out the proper names of several people talking and also even corrected a few spelling errors in the navigation.  So I worked those out, and I've been looking around for other interesting ways to have the navigation easier.  I'm posting another video later today...

Dr. Seth Agbo and I are traveling to Sioux Lookout tomorrow to meet with Brian Beaton and Darrin Potter as part of the KiHS Research Project.  The project is a major project to research best practices and lessons learned at KiHS.  It will focus on documenting the voice of community members who provided the original vision for KiHS in the early...

I found out some good news yesterday.  I entered in a screenplay competition last year and didn't ultimately win.  But what I did find out was that I was very close to it.  Not 3rd or 4th, but rather I was a semi-finalist, ranking somewhere around 36th place.  But hey, it was out of approximately 1200 scripts entered.  It tells me I'm on the...
