Music Monday – “I want to help you lift enormous things/A pinch, a sting/I don’t feel a thing/And as the Earth revolved around the sun”

New Tragically Hip single! And as a Hockey Night in Canada Intro:

Omni.com (and Some Thoughts on My Current Digital Life)

Information overload is a well-known condition these days and the situation is only getting worse as more useful web sites, more  granulated social networks and more cool media outlets gain popularity and battle for your attention. I’ve been thinking a lot about that and increasingly, I find myself wishing there was a single web site […]

Saturday Snap – Pace’s Fifth Birthday

Pace and friends enjoying “Dino Bouncers”… Meanwhile, back at the ranch, it takes three men to raise a loft bed… …a project which unintentionally echoes the day’s Lego theme! 😉

Friday Fun Link – Saskatchewan 1973

A promo from local CTV affiliate, CKCK in the year of my birth…

Some Random Thoughts on TedXRegina

So I was one of the lucky 100 who got to attend TedXRegina on Wednesday at the ShuBox Theatre at the U of R. Here are some random thoughts about the day… – never realised until the night before while checking out the #tedxregina hashtag on Twitter that there were only 100 seats available as […]

TedxRegina

After an extremely long day, I’m pretty tired. Hopefully I’ll revisit my TedxRegina experience in the next day or two. But for now…

Music Monday – “Thought you’d do right by me/But who am I kidding/You’re the Sask Party/Shows like Corner Gas/I guess you don’t remember.”

I went to the massive rally by the Saskatchewan film industry at noon today and it was quite the spectacle. In Saskatchewan, when we have protests, it tends to be farmers rolling their tractors up to the Legislature that creates a big scene. But the film community, as you might expect given their skills, put […]

Sappy Sunday – Happy Mother’s Day

Over the weekend, a guy I used to play hockey with posted a status update with a link to the blog he and his wife kept of their experiences while adopting a South African boy three years ago, a journey that culminated over Mother’s Day.  I’ve direct linked to their Mother’s Day posts but it’s […]

Saturday Snap – Good-bye Old Friend

Our car got smushed in a hit and run while parked on the street in front our house late Friday night/early Saturday morning (actually our neighbour’s van got hit with enough impact that it ended up on our car’s trunk!). Our car’s a total write-off which is sad as we’ve had it for a decade […]
