Shit Sighted People Say To Blind People

I try to keep this video in mind as I go about my work in the Outreach Unit at Regina Public Library. (Actually, the guy who made this video has a whole series that are worth checking out to get a humourous take on life as a blind person.)

Saturday Snap – Pace’s Fifth Birthday

Pace and friends enjoying “Dino Bouncers”… Meanwhile, back at the ranch, it takes three men to raise a loft bed… …a project which unintentionally echoes the day’s Lego theme! 😉

Some Random Thoughts on TedXRegina

So I was one of the lucky 100 who got to attend TedXRegina on Wednesday at the ShuBox Theatre at the U of R. Here are some random thoughts about the day… – never realised until the night before while checking out the #tedxregina hashtag on Twitter that there were only 100 seats available as […]

TedxRegina

After an extremely long day, I’m pretty tired. Hopefully I’ll revisit my TedxRegina experience in the next day or two. But for now…

Music Monday – “Thought you’d do right by me/But who am I kidding/You’re the Sask Party/Shows like Corner Gas/I guess you don’t remember.”

I went to the massive rally by the Saskatchewan film industry at noon today and it was quite the spectacle. In Saskatchewan, when we have protests, it tends to be farmers rolling their tractors up to the Legislature that creates a big scene. But the film community, as you might expect given their skills, put […]

“There’s a bear…strung up. I assume murdered. Maybe a suicide. I dunno.”

Christopher Walken read’s “Where The Wild Things Are“. Probably a fake but either way, wow, just wow.

Music Monday – “I’m a Pilsner drinking, whitetail hunting, purple burning, stubble jumping, slough bogging, prairie dogging, rod and reeling, snowmobiling, genuine big ski sun of a gun from Saskatchewan.”

I knew of Tim Hus before but discovered this song due to the magic of Rdio. Not too often I hear my hometown name-checked in a song! (“Moose Jaw and Indian Head/It ain’t as flat as everyone says”

A Bad Year for Computers (And It’s Only April)

It’s funny how we sometimes get locked into one mode of thinking, no matter how much evidence there is to the contrary. For example, when we were first planning our Hawaii trip, I decided that the best option for taking photos was to use my iPhone. At the time, I thought I could purchase some […]
