One of the best games I’ve seen this year – felt like watching a game in the 80’s *and* the “Cardiac Kid” Calgary Flames once again staged a third period come back to win 4-2 after being down 2-0 for much of the game.
We have lots of official (and many unofficial – Halloween anyone?) holidays in our society. So I thought it might be an interesting thought experiment to try to rank them in terms of how important they are to me. Obvious disclaimer – how people feel about holidays depends on so many different factors – if […]
The greatest hockey video game of all-time is 25 years old with a still active fan base. Here’s the 2017/2018 Stanley Cup final as seen through the lens of NHL ’94:
This song is probably my current favourite on Colter Wall’s new album and I also like that the clip I’m posting features Brad Wall’s son joking about smoking a big joint. 😉 I wont’t be blazing any icky…sticky, dank or otherwise. But thanks for thinking of me…..bud. https://t.co/lDkWL2rMeT — Brad Wall (@BradWall306) October 16, 2018 […]
Usually, the “Homegrown” sign at my library helps identify a display of Saskatchewan books or perhaps a display of books about gardening or agriculture or something along those lines. But with the legalization of marijuana this week, we found another way to use this sign… 🙂
Dollar Street, from the GapMinder Foundation, uses a well-designed interface to help counter misconceptions about different income levels in the world.

I briefly thought of doing a list of “10 of My Fondest Memories of Pot” for this post. But since it feels weird to talk about something I did that was very common within my circle of friends but illegal (even if it’s now legal), I’ve decided to hold off on that list for now. […]
With Shea being away for a week away at a conference, I had visions of having the kids show up at the airport dishevelled, dirty, and with funny signs to welcome their mom home. Unfortunately, Pace’s sense of humour is a bit different than mine so he went with a more traditional sign and only […]
With Shea in Halifax for a conference this week, it’s got me thinking of our last trip to the east coast when we visited Newfoundland for 10 days to attend a friend’s wedding and be tourists checking out the amazing sights. We’d briefly talked about me going to join her for a few days before […]
A few years back, I did a post where I researched the closing times for various Canadian libraries on Christmas Eve day. Of course Christmas Eve is not an “official” stat holiday but it’s still a day that many workplaces (not just libraries) recognize as a slow time and/or a good time to close early […]
