Old is the New New
Q: Why haven't I been blogging more lately?
A: I've been busy blogging.
Voila my job hunt website and Movable Type weblog www.robmacdougall.org.
The content is pretty dull at this point, I know. The site is part of my whole job hunt self-packaging, and I'm still working out how to make it interesting without ever actually saying anything at all that might strike anyone anywhere even slightly the wrong way. But I'm pleased with the look of it, especially since I taught myself MT and CSS and PHP to do it. (By trial and error, so it's probably pretty ugly under the hood.) And I'll hopefully be adding more goodies and chuckles to it in the weeks and months to come.
Visit often and link freely, and let's see if I can't wrest the top result on Google searches for my name from the Canadian Gothic guy, the guy who makes Jenni Garth icons, and my own review of Dead Inside.
Also: I owe a post on the great weekend we just had with my brother Jamie and his girlfriend Miranda. For now, I'll just say: Thanks for coming down, guys. See you in the car!

no subject
(A "telefilm", for those who don't speak Canadian, is a slow moving but beautifully shot Canadian government-sponsored film about growing up as a small boy on the Prairies, growing up as a small girl in the Maritimes, or alcoholism north of the Arctic Circle. The economics of film in Canada are such that any time you are not making a movie on one of these subjects, you are losing money.)
I'll get back to you on the Avro arrow. It's a good story (note that I name checked Avro in Alternate History Canada #2), but it also falls into the "coulda been a contender" school of Canadian
self-pityhistory that I sometimes find irritating.Now THAT'S a heritage moment
But it was an interesting story nonetheless. To just ditch the entire project... I mean, to a certain extent, it was the U.S.'s fault... actually, I think that's what I need to know. Whose fault was it?
