Happy Canada Day!

Happy birthday, Canada! Allison and Judith have written great Livejournal entries about Canada Day.



From time to time, I'm going to start highlighting some blogs I like. Like But She's A Girl...[Femina Geekoides], a wonderful blog that Jeff told me about. The author is "a biologist, an Apple/Unix geek, an audiophile, an avid reader and film buff, and an amateur (in both the inept and unpaid senses) photographer." If you read anything from her blog, do read her About Me blurb. I DO so want to meet this woman in person someday. An excerpt:

"I apparently do not have the gene for interest in make-up, clothes or celebrities. Believe me, I've tried to be interested. I've even bought so-called Women's magazines', convinced that I can't be so psychologically different from the rest of female-kind. But eventually I realized that I just do not have any interest in them, and now I just head straight for the computer/hi-fi magazines aisle. This makes time spent in the hairdressers very dull."




She's funny. She's multi-talented. She writes well. She focuses on the positive rather than whining and making mean-spirited snide remarks about people in her life (a trend in many blogs these days, it seems). Even when she complains, she does so with good humour and cutting wit. She talks about books and technology and and and oh stop reading this and go read her blog instead. :-)
