Blogging is too much work when you never get a comment. On Facebook I can tell that people are reading. If you found me here – go get current info there.

I’m addicted – what can I say? I added a new Geocoding plugin to this site – Now to see how it works.

I’m working in Woodstock NB this week, so if you look at the map that’s where I am.

The New Brunswick Commission on Legislative Democracy has released their Final Report and Summary of the Final Report Go give them a read – they are pretty clear.

They propose mixed-proportional representation, fixed election dates, independently drawn election boundries after census and plenty more.

After you read them fill out their Questionnaire – Final Report and Recommendations, and contact your MLA. For the terminally curious you can see the Pre report questionnaire results that at least some of the proposals are based on. If you are afraid of original sources there are plenty of news stories about this.

I will be commenting on this after I have read and digested it. I wonder if giving lottery tickets to people after the put a ballot in the box would boost voter turnout?

Harold recently commented on Practice and Feedback. Part of the message is: muscle memory will commit you to what you practice – if you practice incorrectly then that bad form will stay with you. My friend Mike Gallant who is a Coach and Teacher is very careful to say that “Perfect practice makes perfect” not that “practice makes perfect” Harold has been talking a lot recently about what we as teachers should be taking from coaching.
