I honestly don’t know what else I can write about the big Paul McCartney concert tonight in Regina. Yes, it’s only one former Beatle but for me, this is not just a Paul McCartney show (which would be fine in and of itself) but this is also the closest I’ll ever get to a Beatles […]
So after pushing my post from a couple days ago about the upcoming Paul McCartney concert out to Twitter and mentioning in passing a couple reasons why the show in Regina might not have sold out, I ended up getting a call from Shanelle Kaul, a reporter for Global Regina who wanted to interview me […]
Going to see Paul McCartney in Winnipeg on Monday or Regina on Wednesday night? Here are some useful resources (with a Regina bias as that’s where I’m located)… Local News & Info TicketMaster’s Paul McCartney – Regina FAQ (PDF) City of Regina Traffic & Construction Notices regarding the concert “McCartney’s First Regina Concert Sure To Be Memorable” […]
For the past few weeks, Reddit Gold members (those who pay an annual subscription fee) have been able to beta-test a new feature called Multi-Reddits.

I came across a movie ranking web site called FlickChart last night. The premise is very simple – it shows you posters of two movies side-by-side and you pick which movie you liked better (or you can get another choice if you haven’t seen one of the options presented.)

Going to Hawaii a year and a half ago was one of the best trips of my life and I’m constantly thinking about when we’ll be able to get back (short answer: probably not for a long time!) But if I can’t get there in person, I can pretend I’m there, even when I’m still […]
Went to TEDxRegina yesterday and honestly, my thoughts on the afternoon, with a couple exceptions, are pretty much the same as my thoughts on the inaugural one in 2012.
