Pirate Bay’s Longest Surviving Torrent Turns 10 Years Old

I would’ve guessed the longest lasting torrent would’ve been The Anarchist Cookbook (uhm, probably a bad idea to link to that, eh?) 😉 but it’s not.  Instead, it’s RECIPES!!! Exactly ten years ago a Pirate Bay user uploaded a torrent linking to “Top Secret Recipes” ebooks. Today, this torrent is the oldest surviving torrent file […]

Saturday Snap – Sasha Eating Pudding

As I mentioned on Facebook, Sasha and I have a lot in common – we don’t wear shirts at the dinner table, we’re pretty messy eaters, and we occasionally gnaw on the bottom of containers to try to get at the food! 😉

Friday Fun Link – Ten Things That Can Ruin An E-Book Help Session at the Library

So I consider myself a fairly tech-savvy individual. I’ve been using computers since I was ten years old.  The first computer I used regularly was a Commodore-64.  I sent my first e-mail in 1995 and designed my first web site in 1997. I’ve since designed numerous web sites and even got paid to produce many […]

If you’ve been living under a rock (or at least without an obsessed six year old in your house!), Minecraft is a “sandbox” game – basically, a game that […]

Ten Things That Make Me Happy These Days

I’ve recently rediscovered hummus.  God, that stuff is addictive! The local hard rock radio station playing German quasi-death metal on my drive back to work after lunch recently = Jason has a very productive afternoon! 😉 I’ve mentioned this before but getting to come home for lunch every day is beyond awesome. That’s partly because, […]

Music Monday – “Sleep pretty darling/Do not cry/And I will sing/A lullabye”

One of my and Sasha’s go-to bedtime songs… “Golden Slumbers” – Paul McCartney

Why Do Atheists Deny The Existence of God?

For the same reason we deny the existence of fire-breathing dragons.

Saturday Snap – One Thing I Noticed About Pace’s Report Card…

I have an English degree so can’t help but notice that Pace went from “MEeeting” to “EsTablished” (which is the highest level in the school’s rating system) in English Language Arts between the first and second terms of Grade One. Shea has a degree in Nursing and I also noticed that his Health Education mark […]
