Upgrading! Please Stand By!

I’m about to try the upgrade from WordPress Multi-User 2.9.2 to WordPress 3.0.1.

It’s a biggie, so cross your fingers.

EDIT: Yay! It worked. If you see any problems, please let me know.

You know an odd feeling?
Sitting on the toilet eating a chocolate candy bar.

Another One Bites The Dust

And so goes yet another Winnipeg bookstore. Beatnik Village Books and Discs in Osbourne Village is closing.

Quote from the owner:

Selling books in Winnipeg is like selling leprosy on The Shopping Channel.

Good Food, Bad Food

Here’s a video from USC Canada about our food supply. We just saw a great presentation from them on their work with seed banks, trying to get small farmers in Tibet to be self-sufficient without having to buy seed and fertilizer and pesticide from Monsanto and the other corporations.

Oh, and speaking of Monsanto…

The “data strongly suggests” that after just 90 days of eating GM corn, rats experienced kidney toxicity and showed effects to their hearts, adrenal glands, spleen and blood cells.

Yum! Roundup-ready and spleenilicious!
