The greatest hockey video game of all-time is 25 years old with a still active fan base. Here’s the 2017/2018 Stanley Cup final as seen through the lens of NHL ’94:
Here’s a pic from this past summer of my folks in front of the United Church they got married at forty-seven years ago!
I’ve been tracking my music listening habits online via last.fm since 2005. It’s not like I look at my last.fm account daily but tonight, I realised that last.fm had stopped scrobbling (that’s the term for when any site that I listen to music on – Deezer, YouTube, etc. – sending the name of the song […]
Figured this would be a good week to dig deep in the photo albums for a shot from a weekend trip to Amsterdam our host college arranged while I was on a semester exchange to England in 1995. (That England trip will probably fill 7/10 spots if I ever do a “Fondest Pot Memories” list […]
