Mark A. McCutcheon published a blog post Trash the slash January 24, 2011 - 2:44pm

Note: this is a post about writing style only. I have nothing but love for slash fiction, I could take or leave slasher films, and I'm enough of a Nash the Slash fan to own some vintage vinyl. A while ago, a colleague and I were discussing an...

Mark A. McCutcheon published a blog post Academic freedom for students January 20, 2011 - 1:46pm

The lead story in the current issue of the CAUT Bulletin concerns the attacks on a U of Toronto grad student's work by Ontario politicans. I'm at least heartened to see a public intervention against these uninformed attacks being made by my former...

Mark A. McCutcheon published a blog post Canadians have until Jan. 31 to comment on copyright bill January 17, 2011 - 12:05pm

As Michael Geist says in his blog post today, we Canadians have until the end of this month to send comments on the new copyright bill, Bill C32, to the legislative committee now responsible for it. I'm not sure it's exactly the "Canadian DMCA" that...

Yeeeeaaaaaahh! It's discoveries like this that validate my passion for language and pop culture. (BTW, if you don't get it, go ask Wikipedia*, "What the crunk?") Then again, it's readings like this that may be making the Seuss estate so...

Mark A. McCutcheon commented on the blog The flocking Bohemian waxwings January 11, 2011 - 10:36am

Darn. A few of them were back in the yard this morning, but the flock seems to have relocated to some treetops a block south of here -- can still hear the rowdy party. Maybe they're looking for more fully fermented berries...

Just updated the video -- a shorter clip of the flock calling then taking flight. A better clip of the birds' twittering (though not so great a visual) is available at this link.

Normally occupied in winter by a few creeping nuthatches, the elm in our yard today is hosting a big party of bohemian waxwings. (Yes, this species has one of the great bird names.) Being an erstwhile birdwatcher, I mistook them at first for...

  Yes, Mountain Ash berries actually are the brussel sprouts of the bird world. My dad has some funny stories about how the berries are left until spring - and by that time they've fermented on the tree, and he gets drunken birds flying around his yard. I expect that isn't the case, yet, and you won't have a whole flock of waxwings three sheets to the wind. That would be funny, though...
