A McReview of the New McDonalds “Create Your Taste” Burger Option #yqr

So, to celebrate the first day of school, we decided to take Pace to McDonalds for supper.

I’m sure we could’ve figured it out but a […]

The Greatest Tragically Hip Video On The Internet?

And I know because I’ve watched them all! But seriously, this part of a longer concert, recorded on Canada Day in London ON in 1989, before The Hip blew up and with maybe 20 people in the audience, is one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen… (You may have to fast forward to 27 minutes to […]

Music Monday – “She’s so young/She’s got the answer/She doesn’t need to question herself like I do”

The Trans-Canada Highwaymen is another Canadian supergroup made up of members of Sloan, Barenaked Ladies, The Odds, and Pursuit of Happiness with a conceit that they’ll play hits from their own bands but only songs that each member wrote for their other groups (which is why it’s ironic that they stick a bit of “Poets” […]

Friday Fun Link – I Replaced The Word ‘Millennials’ With ‘43-Year-Old White Men’ And Now These Headlines Are Italian Chef Kissing Fingers Gesture

Pokemania!

So you have to be living under a rock to have not heard about the new augmented reality map-based game, Pokemon Go!. I first heard about it when it was all over Reddit, soon after its release in early July. I have to be honest – my first reaction was to ignore it as I thought of […]

Friday Fun Link – What The World’s Biggest Sites Looked Like At Launch

This is pretty interesting featuring screenshots of the original version of sites such as Google, Yahoo, Amazon, etc. For comparison’s sake, here’s what my very first web page looked like in December 1998 (this isn’t the first page I ever made but the earliest I could find in the Wayback Machine). Crazy to […]

One Legged Former Wrestler, Zach Gowen, Kicks Ass on American Ninja Warrior

I remember watching Zach Gowen during his run in the WWE and being as impressed with his mental approach to life as his physical approach. He’s no longer in the WWE but he’s still showing how he can overcome obstacles using a combination of physical and mental toughness. Pretty amazing!
