I don’t post a lot of pictures of food on my blog but I couldn’t let this one go by. After Pace’s swimming lessons today, we decided to check out a new restaurant called Coney Island Cafe which was rumoured to have a few varieties of poutine rather than the traditional fries/gravy/cheese curds version you […]
A graphical representation of different phases of Reddit’s evolution over time. Â I joined in January 2007 (and probably was a lurker for a bit of time before that) so that’s a few years before Reddit exploded around 2010, roughly around the time that Digg, which I was never a big fan of, went into freefall.

I get to regularly witness scenes like this (I especially love how he leans in to hug her after making her giggle!)
I digitized this from a VHS tape awhile back but don’t think I ever posted it (and when you watch it, you’ll see why!) One of the many highlights of my 1995 semester exchange to York England while in undergrad was taking a Film Production class (which happened to be taught by a guy who […]

It’s positively shocking how close the first iPhone launch (with a demo product that was apparently held together by duct tape and wishes!) came to being a […]
Had to go to Saskatoon today for a board meeting for one of the organizations I’m involved with. I arrived in Toon Town early so took a quick tour around, not having been there since March.  (Big advantage – no massive hangover today like the last time I was in Saskatoon!)  😉 I took my usual […]
One of the many highlights of the 2012 version of the Ryan Meili NDP Leadership campaign was an amazingly fun event that featured a great local Moose Jaw band by way of South America, Andino Suns. If I was a bit more linguistically adept, I’d try to catch a few lyrics from this song to […]
Sasha turned five months old a couple days ago so I thought it might be fun to note a few of the things going on in her life these days… – she’s an unbelievable sleeper. Like, she goes down at 8pm and sleeps right through to 8am without waking up almost every single night! (Although […]
