Friday Fun Link – #TellVicEverything

I’ve mentioned in the past that the popular quote that the Internet interprets censorship as damage to be routed around. I think there’s a related rule that the Internet even responds to attempts to control/restrict access in a similar fashion. Public Safety Minister Vic Toews found this out the hard way this week after introducing […]

Gorilla Cam

This is simultaneously the coolest and saddest thing I’ve seen. (The zoo does that to me.) It’s also got a nice twist at the end that proves we are, without-a-doubt, evolved from apes! 😉

Today Is The Biggest Sporting Day of the Year

I am of course talking about “Scott Gomez Day” in which we will learn if an NHL player making $7 million dollars a year can go a full calendar year without scoring a single goal (since I’m writing this later in the day, we now know the answer – he can!) Luckily, the fans in […]

Hawaii Trip – Polihale Beach

Gave the rental van a bit of a work-out driving to the most remote beach on Kauai today. There are lots of warnings online and in guidebooks about the condition of the road but to be honest, it sort of reminded me of some of the backroads in Saskatchewan – lots of washboard but nothing […]
