Pace Slept Eight Hours In A Row Last Night

Just wanted to record that milestone for posterity.  His mom and I probably put that up there with first food and walking right about now!  Hopefully tonight will be a repeat.

10 Great Music Videos

Sometimes it boggles my mind how much is available on YouTube.  I've taken full advantage by posting all kinds of clips on this blog (er, but watch them before the copyreich people get them taken down.)Up until now, I've sort of limited myself to posting one clip per entry (I think the most I ever […]

Friday Fun Link – What The F***? Why We Curse (Oct 12, 2007)

I’ve done a pretty fucking exhaustive swearing-related FFL before but this fucking article is a nice fucking addition to that list. Fuck yeah!

Pace's Kindergarten Class

Since Pace was born, I've sort of had my ear tuned to what other friends and acquaintances have been naming their babies.  I grew up with one of the most common boy's names of the 1970's and although I didn't hate it, there's definitely something out-of-whack when you're in a graduating class of 44, half […]

An Analysis of My Picks in the Facebook Hockey Pool App

When I was in Calgary, I went in a hockey pool with my cousin and his buddies every year.  The rules we used were fairly standard in that the team you picked at the draft was the team you were stuck with for the year (in retrospect, dropping your lowest scoring player – ie. the […]

In Praise of the Family Change Room at the Cornwall Centre

I had a meeting in Regina this morning so took the rest of the afternoon off to do various “only doable during a weekday” errands in the city.  One of the things we did which isn't necessarily a weekday-only activity was to stop at the Cornwall Centre which is Regina's downtown shopping mall.During the course […]

A Deer in the Qu'Appelle Valley

Before stuffing ourselves with turkey yesterday, Shea, Pace, my parents and I took a drive to Katepwa Lake which is about fifteen minutes north of my hometown of Indian Head. I've probably mentioned before that our family has a farm on the edge of the Qu'Appelle Valley and my dad had told me that a […]

Phoning It In (Okay, And a Link To Great Tits!)

I'm still in a turkey coma so I'm calling a “choose your own” Head Tale post of the day.  If you haven't noticed, the sad reality is that 90% of the content on this site basically comes from my visits to three sites: Reddit, MetaFilter or TechCrunch  (the other 10% comes from treating Pace like […]

Riverdance Pace

Yet another reason that our son will be seeking psychotherapy in about twenty years…On a completely unrelated note, I'm bringing back “Classmate of the Day” except, since I've now convocated, I'm calling it “Colleague of the Day” and it will probably be a less of a regular feature then the former iteration was.  But anyhow, […]

Friday Fun Link – Wikirage (Oct 5, 2007)

Wikirage gives you a snapshot of which Wikipedia articles have had the most edits during a certain timeframe – a very useful way to see what’s happening in the world and on people’s minds (well, what’s on the minds of people who take the time to edit Wikipedia that is. So expect lots of pop […]
