The Cyberspace Equivalent of Building Blocks?

This physics based Flash game is probably the single most fun thing I've found on the Internet in a long time.  Very addictive!  (via MetaFilter which has some ideas on what you should build – catapult anyone? – and I noticed it was also posted on Reddit)

Another Photo From Our Christmas

One of my favourites…

Merry (Belated) Christmas From The Hammond Family

Merry Christmas Everyone! (A Message From Santa Claus)

I told the story in a recent post about how the person that clued me in about Santa Claus was also the same person that first made me doubt the existence of God. So I thought the picture below was appropriate for today, even though I know that posting this picture today is sort of […]

Is "Hit The Rhubarb" a Saskatchewan-Only Expression?

An Alberta cousin sent me this joke which seems appropriate after I hit the ditch last weekend for the first time in fifteen years.

Five Controversial Things We Do In Raising Our Baby

Pace has a new cousin!  Almost six months to the day after he was born, Pace's cousin, Dennon Robert Thompson arrived in very similar circumstances – breech position requiring an unplanned c-section.  It was a weird sense of deja vu for me all day – finding my way to the labour and delivery unit, sitting […]

First Shiner
