University of Western Ontario Is One of Only Twenty Universities Worldwide To Get Top Rating (And Only One in Canada)

I really thought my attending the University of Western Ontario might drag the rating down – yes, even nearly two decade later.  But luckily UWO is still an extremely prestigious University even if they allow pretenders like myself to darken their halls. 😉

Saturday Snap – The Green Green Grass of Home?

We’re having our yard landscaped next week so, if I’m lucky, this might be a photo of the last time I cut grass in my life! (Also, funny coincidence – the kid’s climbing structure ended up going to…our former neighbours at our last house who saw the listing on Facebook and reached out.  If I’d […]

The Moose Is Loose! #yqr

We’ve seen a lot of wildlife in the green space behind our house – partridges, rabbits,  even a coyote.  But seeing a moose earlier this week was a new one!

Introducing Apple Vision Pro

My Apple stocks are either going to sky rocket or crash hard on this news! 😉 If your promotional video is indistinguishable from something you'd see in a particularly dystopian episode of Black Mirror, maybe time to reconsider? https://t.co/6E2gn4gwTC — stephensben at bluesky (@stephens_ben) June 5, 2023

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – One Year Ago, I Had Shingles (June 2022)

…replaced on my roof about a year after a major hailstorm ripped through north Regina and punched machine-gun holes in most houses’ siding in our neighbourhood.  (Our next door neighbours just got their siding done this week!) In a weird way, this was perfect timing as our house had original shingles that were end-of-life so […]

Music Monday – “What would you say/If I took those words away?/Then you couldn’t make things new/Just by saying ‘I love you'”

It’s always ironic than when my life is the busiest – work, home, family – both immediate and extended, camping, volunteer stuff, medical appointments, helping my parents, etc. etc. etc. – is when I’m most likely to end up not doing daily blog posts (I frequently miss a day but then do it the following […]

Friday Fun Link – Sing A Note

Can’t find it now but whoever posted this (likely on Reddit?) said this reminds them of the random silly amazingness of the early days of the Internet before a handful of tech giants controlled pretty much all content and discourse (and yes, I know there’s irony saying that since this is a YouTube video!)
