Saturday Snap – What a Crappy Game!

I recently bought Pace the Lego “Creationary” game.  Basically, this is Pictionary but instead of drawing different things, you try to build them with the various Lego pieces that are included with the game. I have to admit I was a bit surprised by one of the game cards (although Shea and I did have […]

Friday Fun Link – Cards Against Humanity (Library Edition)

I haven’t had the opportunity to play Cards Against Humanity but have heard enough about it to know that the Library Edition would be especially hilarious, at least for a small subset of people I know! 😉 Here’s a demo of the original game so you can get a sense of how it goes…

Music Monday – “He said, ‘Dad, how are you unable/To love me/For who I am?'”

Devin Cuddy is the son of Blue Rodeo’s Jim Cuddy. Equally rootsy and catchy as his dad but young Cuddy’s music explores topics I don’t think his dad’s ever did… “My Son’s A Queer” – Devin Cuddy

Saturday Snap – Pac-Fish

Pace was playing Pac-Man on the iPad but wasn’t doing too well. He handed it to me, saying “You do it dad. I’m no good at these old-school games!” Later he made this Lego creation, explaining “It’s a Pac-Fish. That’s just like Pac-Man but a fish” which I thought was quite creative…

Friday Fun Link – Funny New Year’s Resolutions

I meant to post these on New Year’s Day but forgot.  But they work equally well as a Friday Fun Link…

Holiday Visits = Tech Support Time

Went out to my parents’ for New Year’s Eve/New Year’s Day.  As the image above notes, going home often means doing tech support – whether for Shea’s folks, my folks or anybody else I’m visiting. Not that I mind – I always am happy to have something I can contribute and am somewhat decent at […]

I Thought Last Night Was When We Were Supposed to Stay Up Until Midnight, Not Tonight!

So why are both kids still up (and apparently making a break for it???)

Atheist Advent Calendar – Day 24 – Keep Christ in Christmas (aka Another Fictional Superhero On Our Van)

I had a few ideas of how to wrap up this series of Atheist Advent posts – a look at how politics and religion intersect, a review of my theories of why people (really) are religious, a disclaimer about the nature of offense in general. I will spend some time on that last point.  My […]

Atheist Advent Calendar – Day 23 – Music Monday – “I really like Christmas/It’s sentimental I know/But I just really like it/I’m hardly religious/I’d rather break bread with Dawkins than Desmond Tutu to be honest”

There was a method to my madness in posting a Tim Minchin song as my Music Monday selection for each of the past few weeks during my “Atheist Advent” series. It was all to lead up to Minchin’s ultimate achievement and one of the best non-traditional Christmas songs I’ve ever heard – funny, insightful, wistful, […]
