Friday Fun Link – NHL Player Rater

In honour of the Flames’ Jarome Iginla getting his 1000th career point tonight, here’s a really cool site that displays the names of two fairly equal NHL players and allows you to pick which one you think is best.  (If you don’t recognize one or both players, it helpfully puts their career stats side-by-side and […]

Our Man in Havana

I was going to do a list of some of the highlights of our trip (and still might) but I just came across a business card for a taxi while sorting the various papers I accumulated during the trip and so I thought I’d focus instead, on one of the singular highlights of our trip. […]

Too Many Tabs Tuesday – Cuba Bound!

Pace has been counting down the “sleeps” until we go to Cuba on Thursday. Meanwhile his daddy has been counting down “how many days left of standing at the bus stop freezing my butt off?” 😉 We leave Thursday for a week’s vacation and since Cuba is one of the least connected countries in the […]

“Jason, Do You Have A Half-Baked Theory On Why People Are Religious?” Why, Yes I Do!

I’ve talked to many people over the years about religion and faith and have developed my own personal theory why I think people are religious. I know people will cite all kinds of different reasons for their faith – everything from that feeling of “there has to be something that created this” when you consider […]

Some good answers.

What if the Largest Countries Had the Largest Populations?

A fun graphic which matches the list of “Largest Countries in the World (geography)” against the list of “Largest Countries in the World (population)” So, for example, Russia (largest by geography) would be home to the people of China (largest by population.) Interestingly, a couple countries (including the US which is 4th in the world […]
