I’m truly fascinated by the phenomena of Facebook birthday messages. Uh, happy birthday to me!
Facebook, YouTube and Instagram.
Shea and I finally dropped our landline and will only be using our smartphones going forward. Some risks and downsides of course but overall, we were basically paying $40/month for calls to and from both sets of parents (which we can still do with our smartphones) and otherwise, 90% of our calls were spammers, surveys, […]
Shea’s and my current favourite show, “Orange Is The New Black” just had its second season released on Netflix this weekend. Unlike traditional broadcast TV shows, viewers the option to watch all new episodes on their own time including, if you choose, the day of their release in a single binge watch session. After a couple […]
I don’t hang out there nearly as much as I used to (and worse, a lot of my “community web site” time has shifted to <gasp> Reddit!) so it was a bit of a shock to see a librarian colleague post on Facebook about the big changes happening at MetaFilter. Cash-strapped after a recent downturn […]
The International Space Station is now providing a live HD feed which is pretty amazing.
An entire hour and a half long Fred Eaglesmith concert, taped in Holland? Man, I love the Internet for so many reasons…it eliminates time, distance and provides access to stuff you’d never see otherwise.

Warning: lots of viral ads ahead! Last year, Shea got Pace with the old “bowl of cereal left in the freezer overnight” trick. This year, I got him a couple ways – first, I put peanut butter on both sides of his toast (though I’m not sure he even noticed or cared) and his milk […]
I would’ve guessed the longest lasting torrent would’ve been The Anarchist Cookbook (uhm, probably a bad idea to link to that, eh?) 😉 but it’s not. Instead, it’s RECIPES!!! Exactly ten years ago a Pirate Bay user uploaded a torrent linking to “Top Secret Recipes” ebooks. Today, this torrent is the oldest surviving torrent file […]
I’ve recently rediscovered hummus. God, that stuff is addictive! The local hard rock radio station playing German quasi-death metal on my drive back to work after lunch recently = Jason has a very productive afternoon! 😉 I’ve mentioned this before but getting to come home for lunch every day is beyond awesome. That’s partly because, […]
