Friday Fun Link – “At first I was just happy you weren’t another naked guy” – ChatRoulette Love Song

If you’re not familiar with ChatRoulette, read this old post first. As I say in that post, a good portion of Chat Roulette’s participants appear to be young men looking to expose themselves to unsuspecting (although if you’re on ChatRoulette, it won’t take long to become “suspecting”) viewers. Occasionally though, Chat Roulette breeds some incredible […]

Pace has been counting down the “sleeps” until we go to Cuba on Thursday. Meanwhile his daddy has been counting down “how many days left of standing at the bus stop freezing my butt off?” 😉 We leave Thursday for a week’s vacation and since Cuba is one of the least connected countries in the […]

Friday Fun Link – Yorkton to Regina in Five Minutes

A guy I went to elementary school with posted this time lapse video of the drive from Yorkton, SK to Regina, SK.  Normally about a two hour drive, this video condenses the trip to five minutes (and every time he passes a car will make you feel like you’re on a highway in Mexico for […]

Friday Fun Link – Making Stairs Fun

It’s no secret that I’m interested in the role of “fun” – fun at work, fun at home, fun in life – not just because fun is, well, FUN! but because I strongly believe it has a real impact on how people work, live and interact. One timely example comes from the National Family Literacy […]

Friday Fun Link – 20 Years of Ness Creek Festival

I went to the Ness Creek Festival a few times in the late 1990’s.  It’s got many similarities to the more typical folk music festivals you’re probably most familiar with but there’s something about this festival – its origins as a tree planters’ festival in a remote location probably being its most distinguishing feature – […]
