Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Snorkelling in Hawaii (January 2012)

So glad the tour guide on this snorkeling tour didn’t actually need a bribe to make sure he didn’t drop our water camera when he swam underneath us to take this unique photo! 😉

Friday Fun Link – The Road To Wrestlemania

The longest reigning champion in modern WWE history.  Two dynastic wrestling families.  A former wrestler who became the world’s biggest movie star (and also now sits on the WWE Board in real life.). The company being sold to the UFC’s parent company after being under McMahon family control its entire existence. The major cloud hanging […]

Who Said Non-Stop Playing Video Games Was Bad For You?

Incredibly proud of Pace who, along with two of his classmates from Thom Collegiate, got voted by his peers as having the second most popular video game in the video game class he took at Campus Regina! The class had students from high schools all across Regina and 13 different games being demoed at the […]

Saturday Snap – Our House Is Smarter Than We Are!

Had a technician out to do some upgrading to our Internet service and he laughed and said we had more connected devices than any house he’s ever seen!

Insane Sub-Two Hour Marathon Run

Eliud Kipchoge’s 1:59:40 marathon run is truly insane when you break down the numbers: ??4:35 per mile pace (the record for one mile is 3:43 and he kept the pace 26x) ??OR 2:50 per KM pace (he did it 42x and each kilometre was within 2:48 to 2:52)??The average men’s marathon… pic.twitter.com/zGJ4LI6rhm — Trung Phan […]

Friday Fun Link – Clone Your Voice Using AI, Give It A Personality and Then Converse With Yourself

Unfortunately, you may have to join a waitlist to get access to this tool (at least I did.) But then again, maybe I don’t want to talk to myself (at least out loud!) I just spoke to myself, and it was weird. You can now clone your voice using a few seconds of audio, give […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Bellagio Fountains (March 2009)

May have told this story before but my parents won a trip for two to Las Vegas and it happened to coincide with a week that Shea and I had booked off. So after a bit of chaos to get Pace (two going on three) a rush passport, we booked and ended up going along. […]

Friday Fun Link – Sing A Note

Can’t find it now but whoever posted this (likely on Reddit?) said this reminds them of the random silly amazingness of the early days of the Internet before a handful of tech giants controlled pretty much all content and discourse (and yes, I know there’s irony saying that since this is a YouTube video!)
