Friday Fun Link – C Major Scale Visualized
This is pretty cool (even though the tone sounds like an auto-tuned hockey organ!)
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Boxing Day Classic (Multiple Years)
When I was in high school and later, in university, the neighbours across the street hosted a Boxing Day road hockey tournament every year. This was followed by an airing of the latest Don Cherry “Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em” VHS tape that one of their two boys got from Christmas, finger foods, basement beers and […]
What Is Going On With Game Stop & Reddit?
Well, the dominant narrative of this story is “large group of Internet-enabled Reddit underdogs figure out strategy to bankrupt billion dollar hedge fund” but the reality, as usual, is probably a lot more complicated and also consequential.
Happy 60th Birthday to Wayne Gretzky
Not a fan of his politics but the man is the best hockey player of all-time and probably the most accomplished athlete out of any major sport ever! Hard to believe he’s 60… We've got 60 facts for Wayne Gretzky's 60th birthday ?? Think you know everything about The Great One? @robpizzo begs to differ […]
Music Monday – “I still remember momma walking down the living room stairs/And daddy saying with a smile, “that’s my girl right there”/They had their share of ups and downs/And I saw the best, and the worst, and the work, and the worth it.”
It’s a long way from the stage of the “Cancer Jamboree” at Nickle Lake outside Weyburn (where we’ve camped for years and now have our own seasonal campsite) to the American Country Music Top 20 airplay charts… “Somebody Like That” – Tenille Arts
Secular Sunday – Voice Teacher Reacts to Garth Brooks’ “Amazing Grace” at US Inauguration
It’s like Tim Minchin says, “Some of the hymns that they sing have nice chords but the lyrics are dodgy” (though in this case, I’d say “Amazing Grace” is of the few religious songs that totally transcends its genre into an all-time classic, no matter your atheistic leanings!) 😉 Garth was good but this is […]
Saturday Snap – Sticky Situation
How does this happen? Well, one bottle is our home bottle, one was brought back from the lake at the end of summer and is still not used up and one was accidentally opened by a kid who doesn’t look very hard to see if there are any other open bottles anywhere!
Friday Fun Link – Bernie’s Mittens Memes #WhereInTheWorldIsBernieSanders
While others on the dias wore thin trench coats and fancy outfits, Bernie Sanders demonstrated his ever-practical side, showing up on a cold Inauguration Day with a heavy parka and some very memorable mittens. A single photo of him sitting alone and looking like his usual grumpy self became a worldwide meme as people inserted […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Asessippi Carnage
Four years ago this week, we were on our way to a ski trip in Manitoba. It was hard to know what the next four years would bring but we listened to Trump’s “American Carnage” Inaugural Address on the drive up and that provided a big clue. Such a relief that he’s gone.
