An Open Letter To Ryan Meili

Hey Ryan, Long time, no talk!  I hope doctoring is going well, married life is treating you swimmingly and your decision to leave politics behind continues to be the right decision. I suspect I know your answers to those questions which makes this next statement a hard one to make.  But with the announcement of […]

Music Monday – “Jesus was a black man, No, Jesus was Batman, no-no-no, that was Bruce Wayne!”

Okay, my Atheist Xmas series of posts is done but I just had to share this song which has one of the best lines ever (see post title)! Pace and I were dancing around listening to music the other day and this song from my England semester abroad came on.  I immediately thought of the […]

Bacon Party!

As opposed to a “sausage party“, a bacon party would be something I would be very excited to attend! 😉 In fact, if queried, I would likely say that bacon is one of my favourite foods – definitely top five anyhow.  (Shea and I have been known to cook up four pounds of bacon at […]

Saturday Snap – Hipstamatic Tinker Toy Frame

Hipstamatic Tinker Toy Frame, originally uploaded by headtale. Technically, not done with the popular Hipstamatic iPhone app but another camera app that’s just added a bunch of filters. Still cool to know what Pace would look like if he’d had his photo taken in the 70’s! (Er, I think Polaroids still exist so maybe that’s […]

Friday Fun Link – Web Services Worth Paying For?

The nature of the Internet is changing and developing constantly and one of the most significant evolutions is the nature of commerce online. Now, there’s always been commerce online and most definitely since the web entered the popular consciousness in the mid to late 1990’s.  I remember buying a book from Amazon somewhere around 1997 […]

And Now I’ll Explode Your Cute-O-Meter…

Usually I’d save a video like this for Music Monday.  But it’s too cute (and going viral too fast!) to save it for next week.    Enjoy!

“Books for Christmas? What the Heck Is That???”

Michelle sent me this link before Christmas but I still think it’s worth posting.  Reminds me of when Pace opened a gift bag containing pyjamas last year, threw the clothes over his shoulder then kept digging while asking “Where present?”

Music Monday – “DA;LKJFWQ-E9UFE;LKJF;DLKJDA,M”

I’d bookmarked this clip of all of Billy Joel’s Greatest Hits played at once as something that would make a humourous Music Monday post someday.  Revisiting it, I realise it also does a great job of replicating the way that my head feels right now  I hate being sick…

Going Viral

As I posted on Facebook on New Year’s Day, there was a time when puking all night on New Year’s Eve meant you’d had a “good time”.  But this year, it wasn’t such a good time since Pace caught a flu bug and spent the night in bed between Shea and I, puking into a […]
