“I Gave At The Office”

Movember is almost over (full details tomorrow) and that’s got me thinking about how generous people can be. My initial fundraising goal was $100 as I had no idea how much people might give (or how many people.) But when all is said and done, I’ll have raised over $500! Everybody will have a different […]

(sings) “It’s A Small World After All…”

This is pretty funny for a number of reasons… On Reddit, there’s a sub-Reddit called AskReddit where people can ask others in the community pretty much anything and everything.  Today, bored in her physics class, one Redditor posed a somewhat risque question asking if there were any otherwise mundane things that made people horny and […]

Music Monday – “Anything we have known/Anything we’ve forgotten/In the rain/In the dark/We’ll lay”

Pretty cool video made with tens of thousands of jelly beans and a lot of stop-motion photography…

Saturday Snap – Banure!

Agribition is one of the biggest agricultural fairs in the world and therefore, a big part of Saskatchewan life and economy. Pace’s cousin’s uncles and grandpa were showing cattle at the show so Shea took Pace down to take in the sights (and smells!)  Luckily, Pace didn’t scratch his nose and buy a bison like […]

Friday Fun Link – A Month In Music

Maybe this should be a Music Monday post as it’d probably fit there too. There’s a new Tumblr blog written by a guy who realised his iTunes library had 10 000+ MP3’s almost perfectly equal to a month of music?  He decided to put all of his music on shuffle for a straight month with […]

How Did Your Parents Make Christmas More Real For You?

It’s exactly one month until Santa makes his rounds and, inspired by a conversation with a co-worker this week, I posted a question on AskMetafilter that got a lot of great replies as well as a lot of people marking it as a favourite question. (It’s a bit hard to read the post because I […]

This is just like when I proposed to Shea…

…well, except for the long-term planning, the co-conspirators, the perfectly placed video camera and the sneaky surprise at the end of it all!

Maybe Global Warming Isn’t So Bad?

Okay, I know climate change and global warming are evil and wrong and terrible.  In fact, I’ve just started reading Chris Turner’s “The Leap” and it might be another strong contender for the best book I’ve read this year based on the first few chapters. (translation: “go read this book now!”) But when you live […]

Music Monday – “Jane says/Have you seen my wig around/I feel naked without it”

I had this song cranked on the way home from Weyburn yesterday when I suddenly heard a voice from the back seat singing along…”Jaaaa-soooon!  Jaaaa-sooonn!” Pace apparently things that Perry Farrell and I are really close friends and he even wrote one of his best known songs about me! 😉
