Friday Fun Link – Cat Shaming At Its Best

There are lots of possibilities but if I did a photo like this for our cat, one of the first captions to spring to mind would be: “Whipping around the house should only be done at 3am with my owner’s bed as the best place to practice my hairpin turns.” 😉

Refer Madness

Over the years, I’ve occasionally posted about some of the search terms that were bringing people to my blog. I did this once a few months after starting my blog in 2006 and again during the 2009 NDP Leadership Race and probably a few other times as well. I thought it might be interesting to re-visit the […]

Friday Fun Link – Our English As She Is Spoke (A Column Only Canadians Will Understand)

A fun column by Dave Bidini as we head into the May Long Weekend aka “The Official Start of Summer in Canada” (at least in theory, if not practice.)

A Partial and Incomplete List of Reasons the NDP Lost The BC Election #skpoli #bcpoli #ndp

I went to a noon hour presentation at the Johnson-Shoyama School of Public Policy on “The BC Election and What It Means For Saskatchewan“. One presenter got a good laugh off the bat joking about how he had to tear up his speaking notes in light of the stunning come-from-behind victory of the Liberals […]

The Dangers of Vertical Video Syndrome

I, too, used to do this… …until I realised there was a better way. For the love of Dog, people, turn your camera phones sideways!

Music Monday – “Oh Mr. Mom/Balancing check books, juggling bills/Thought there was nothing to it/Baby, now I know how you feel/Oh Honey, you’re my hero”

Back to work today after two and a half weeks at home with the new baby is pretty tough. I keep telling anyone who’ll listen that I’m really jealous of two guys I know who are both relatively new dads – one is a University professor who (I assume on purpose) timed his sabbatical year […]

iPotty

This is brilliant…although if Sasha’s anything like her big brother, she’d find a way to pee on the iPad instead of the pot. (A co-worker still brings up the story we told him when Pace was a toddler of Pace standing in our living room and peeing on our VCR!) (via /r/Daddit)

Saturday Snap – “May the Fourth Be With You” Nerd Family Edition

A few different shots in honour of perhaps the nerdiest day of the year: I’m not a programmer but via a handy online interface, was able to create my own watchface for my “21st Century Calculator Watch“. There’s also a web site with lots of other cool watchfaces others with greater skills than my own […]
