The Atlantic has a paywall but allows a certain number of free visits each month so hopefully you can get in (or have a VPN or use Incognito Mode). This is a pretty amazing photo essay. (via MetaFilter)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – My Favourite US Trip? (January 2012)

After last week’s post thinking back to the last time I think I traveled to the US, I thought it’d be fun to also highlight what was probably my favourite US trip ever for another “Throwback Thursday” post. I was very fortunate to have parents who loved traveling and growing up, I got to travel […]

What Anti-Mask People Sound Like To Me…

[Inspired by every Facebook thread about masks I’ve ever seen and the beautiful rants of Brent Terhune…] “Listen up sheeple! Wal-Mart thinks they can make me wear pants in their store just because they have a legal right to set policies for their own store and just because the government says pants are necessary to […]

Music Monday – “Four years old/Riding that new bike/No training wheels/Holding on real tight/Oh baby/Everyone falls”

Not sure what it means when you’re getting music recommendations from your mother-in-law but that’s how I first heard of this singer who also happens to be an RN that my mother-in-law worked with prior to her retirement. Also important to note that this video has some scenes shot at Nickle Lake Regional Park where […]

Saturday Snap – Sarcan Situation

I can’t remember the last time Shea and I took recycling to Sarcan but I’m pretty sure it was before Covid and possibly not since around *last* Christmas since we only take cans every few months once they build up. Of course with Sarcan having been shut down for a few months plus our somewhat […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Minot Wal-Mart (April 2012)

With the Canada-US border closed for the foreseeable future, I was trying to figure out the last time I went to the States. For awhile there in the early 2010’s, I’d say we ended up going about once or twice a year, either to Williston which is just over the border or Minot, which is […]

Netflix CEO Writes A Book

Some irony that the head of the world’s most successful video company would write a book but there you go. I’ve long been fascinated by how various tech companies (including Netflix) create and develop their corporate cultures and what traditional companies and organizations can learn from them. Hastings boils down Netflix’s competitive advantage over Blockbuster […]
