Music Monday – ThruYou – The YouTube Remix

ThruYou is a project that took clips of amateur musicians that were uploaded to YouTube and remixed them to create new music.  Very cool!

I Have Never Seen…

…a sporting championship won by a team that was behind the ENTIRE game and THEN, won on a horrible penalty AFTER the game was over due to a missed last second point score attempt.  I mean, after Montreal's missed field goal, everyone at our house stood up and exchanged hugs, thinking the game was over, […]

A colleague brought this to work on Friday then got snaps of a bunch of the staff trying it on. I'm a Rider fan but gotta say this was a first for me!  (Here's a history of the watermelon helmet from TSN.)

Friday Fun Link – Mashup of NHL Player Birthplaces (November 27, 2009)

This is very cool.  A Google Maps mash-up showing the birthplace of every player that's ever played in the NHL.  Although there is the expected broad swath through Canada, the northern US, Europe and Russia, I was surprised at how many countries and continents are actually represented.  (If you zoom in on the map, you'll […]

Saturday Snap – My Christmas Themed Walking Cast

As promised last week, here's a pic of the cast I got last Friday to replace the one I've had since I broke my leg a month ago.   When the cast technician asked what colour I wanted, I said “Red or green would be festive” and he goes, “You know, I could probably do both…”  […]
