Trip Planning in the Digital Age
Here’s a list, roughly from most to least useful, of the sites, apps and other online resources I used in researching our trip to Hawaii. The links I’ve included are mostly to info about Kauai since that’s our first stop but most of these searches were repeated for Maui info. YouTube – I always think […]
Music Monday – “All that fibre optic gear/Cannot take away the fear/Like an island song”
Other than those opening lines about it being “cold, cold, cold” (today was +5), I think this is my theme song for the next couple weeks. Oh, and there’s also the line about “You’re caught up in the Internet/You think it’s such a great asset/But you’re wrong, wrong, wrong.” Not sure how much I’ll be […]
Saturday Snap – Goodbye Snow!
Pace and I made what will likely be our last visit to the park by our house before we leave for Hawaii next week. Then, when we got home, we found Shea cooking a tropical feast of shrimp and fish. So I poured us all OJ’s and 7-up (and coconut rum for the adults) and […]
Friday Fun Link – Best Countries for Work-Life Balance

In One Week…
…this is where I’ll be! (And with the waterproof case we got for my iPhone from Santa, this could very well be me taking this exact video! Of course, it was +6 in Regina today and a high of +19 (!) in Maple Creek, SK so, with Lihue Kauai coming in at +23, my timing […]
Inside A Toddler’s Mind
Yep. (via Buzzfeed)
Politics in Full Sentences: The Story of Naheed Nenshi’s Purple Army
A great article on the behind-the-scenes of Naheed Nenshi’s improbable but ultimately successful campaign to become the mayor of Calgary (and if you want to get meta, there’s also a behind-the-scenes of how the original behind-the-scenes magazine article was compiled.)
Music Monday – “Come together/Right now/Over Me”
While Justin Bieber and especially Cee-Lo Brown were “interpreting” Beatles songs on New Year’s Eve for a TV audience of millions, three music legends – Steve Tyler, Alice Cooper and “Weird” Al Yankovic – teamed at a charity fundraiser in Maui to perform in front of a small crowd (filled entirely of people with camera […]
