Atheist Advent Calendar – Day 1 – Introduction

In past years, I’ve often done a series of posts during Christmas week about atheism/religion/the Christmas holidays that are (hopefully) educational, humourous, thought-provoking or occasionally maybe even all of the above. Pace opened the first window on his Lego Advent calendar today and that made me think that the concept of Advent “a season observed in many Western Christian churches as […]

Friday Fun Link – If You’re Gonna Get Detention, These Are The Ways To Do It.

  I love these (and am particularly sympathetic to the kid who corrected the teacher about a mile being longer than a kilometre and got in trouble for it!) although, as always with the things you read on the Internet, skepticism is important too.

An Analysis of My YouTube Channel

I’ve been uploading videos to YouTube since 2006.   This was the year we got our first digital camera.  It was also the year when I was doing my Masters degree so I was very interested in all kinds of online services including online broadcasting.  We were also living far from home so it was […]

Just a few shots of our family enjoying the Riders over the past few years…

High School Was A Long Time Ago

Yesterday, the Indian Head Broncs football team won the Provincial Football Championship.  I played for the team in the late 1980’s/early 1990’s.  The program died out a few years later but was resurrected about three years ago (and has already had more success than any of the years I played!) 😉 Then tonight, I had […]

Saturday Snap – Halloween Hijinxs

I didn’t actually dress up for Halloween this year (does “Guy who works at a library” count?) but this selfie, taken outside the photo booth they had at our Staff Development Day on October 25 this year sure makes it look like I did!   Pace’s idea of decorating a pumpkin included a self-serve option. […]

Boo!

Music Monday – “The memories we are amassing/Will stand as testament that somehow/We bent minds around the concept/That we see others within ourselves/That self-knowledge can be found on bookshelves”

This is really good… “Remember How We Forgot” – Shane Koyczan and Hannah Epperson

RIP Lou Reed (And A List of My Top Five Concerts – Which Doesn’t Include The Lou Reed Show I Saw in Toronto Unfortunately)

The first Velvet Underground album only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it formed a band. – Brian Eno Growing up and living most of my life on the bald Saskatchewan prairie, my opportunities to see certified rock legends have been extremely limited. Luckily, in June 2000, I was in Toronto for a publishing […]

Music Monday – “And I know that by February/My thoughts on snow will be contrary/But this is now and then is then!”

Here are a few pics I threw together in a slideshow to celebrate the first snow of the year. “Celebrate” might sound like the wrong word but for me, the first snow of the year is always exciting and, as the song says, “I know that by February/My thoughts on snow will be contrary/But this […]
