Saturday Snap – Our Family’s #Riders Fandom Over The Past Few Years #gc101 #greycup

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

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 […]

Saturday Snap – Perogy Poutine

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 […]

Pace and Sasha at Six Months…

…who’s chubbier? 😉

The Evolution of Reddit

A graphical representation of different phases of Reddit’s evolution over time.  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.
