I can only give you a quick taster of what happened at yesterday's Lib Dem Voice organised Lib Dem Bloggers' Unconference as I have to vacate the laptop as my long suffering husband wishes to harvest his crops on Facebook's Farm Town. The sooner we have more than one thing in this house that connects to the internet the better. His desktop monitor has gone and while I think his time might be better...

Christian Hanson had a hat trick and Alex Foster added two of his own as the Toronto Marlies pounded the Lake Erie Monsters 7-1 in American Hockey League play Friday.

I can barely contain my excitement at the prospect of the inaugural Liberal Democrat Voice Bloggers' Unconference (a bit Winnie the Pooh, but so what) in Edinburth this Saturday. Every so often an event comes along that is an I'll-do-it-if-it-kills-me must and this is it. It also marks the first time in a long time I will have attempted to be out for a whole day. It may yet end in tears, but I am not...

I have done a few posts about the various things I got up to during the Lib Dem conference this year but I just wanted to do a post about my personal view of the whole thing. I was surprised at how at home I felt. The hotel I stayed in was very welcoming and right from the start there was just a nice feel. I had to queue up to get my pass because it hadn't arrived in the post and the chap who dealt...

I hate official team sites. Can you imagine a more biased source of news? I suppose a site like mapleleafs.com would be fine if you were just looking for a schedule or to purchase tickets, but if you're looking for team news and insight, the official site is the last place I go. On the web, I've witnessed the birth of the Barilkosphere the past few years. There's a solid collection of Maple Leaf blogs...

Last night I boasted on Twitter that I am the number three result on Google for Russell Howard is not funny . There were a couple of bewildered tweets in return and today Alex Foster has written in Howard's defence. But I am not alone. Unenlightened Commentary has written a longer version of my opinions on Howard . After effectively skewering Andy Parsons - who "seems as though he ought to be...

The Taxpayers Alliance made sone disparaging (and almost definitely unjustified) remarks yesterday about a government vacancy for a Deputy Director of Digital Communication1. In response, Alex Foster on Lib Dem Voice had this to say: Neither the TPA nor the Conservative Party can see the point, instead frothing at the mouth and making the dim conflation [...]

I was shocked to read that Alex Foster of all people seems to fear paperless committees . In essence I'm quite disappointed how little has changed since I worked on the Department of Enterprise Trade and Investment's 'Leapfrog to the Information Age Initiative' (1999). Has it really been 10 years since we published that? One of the reasons that Alex gives is that 'many of the councillors are not very...

Alex Foster over on Lib Dem Voice has congratulated Brain Haw for the 3,000th day of his protest against British involvement in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I find myself more in agreement though with the commentators who suggest that whatever point he had has been made, and it is perhaps time to move on to [...]

Last Saturday I wrote about Frog Island and the disappearing remain of the old Great Central railway line through Leicester, inspiring Alex Foster to discover Nottingham Arkwright Street station in the process. That station, incidentally, was built by the contractors Logan & Hemingway, in which my political hero J. W. Logan was a partner. The Great Central through Leicester returned to the headlines...
