Christmas 2013: By The Numbers

I haven’t blogged for a few days as I got overwhelmed and busy with that “real life” thing as Shea’s folks and mine joined us from the 27th until the 29th to have a belated Christmas together. Here are a few numbers from the past week… 0 – number of times I’ve left the house […]

The Best Christmas Ever?

Only partly tongue-in-cheek, I often think that the best Christmas I ever had was when we were living in Calgary and Shea had to work on a 7am to 3pm shift on Christmas Day, leaving me all alone for the day. It sounds sad but it turned out to be a wonderful, relaxing, enjoyable day. […]

Atheist Advent Calendar – Day 6 – Are Religions Unfair To Women?

It’s a long documentary so let’s just say the short answer (at least in my view) is: yes! Given what day it is today, I can’t help but think about the fourteen female engineering students killed twenty-four years ago today. They weren’t murdered for religious reasons.

Saturday Snap – Studies in Motion

Sasha has started crawling (there’s an unfortunate face plant at the end of this clip so you may want to stop early if you’re squeamish.) While Sasha has just started being mobile, Pace is pretty much the definition of constant motion…

An Analysis of My YouTube Channel

I’ve been uploading videos to YouTube since 2006. This was the year we got our first digital camera. It was also the year when I was doing my Masters degree so I was very interested in all kinds of online services including online broadcasting. We were also living far from home so it was […]

Grey Cup – Will We Win or Lose? One Quarter To Go! #gc101 #riders #greycup #yqr

I couldn’t decide whether to write a blog post before or after the game. So I’m splitting the difference somewhat and writing this near the start of the fourth quarter with the Riders leading 31-16. The Riders dominated the first half but as we saw in 2009, you have to play 60 minutes or else […]

Saturday Snap – Halloween Hijinxs

I didn’t actually dress up for Halloween this year (does “Guy who works at a library” count?) but this selfie, taken outside the photo booth they had at our Staff Development Day on October 25 this year sure makes it look like I did! Pace’s idea of decorating a pumpkin included a self-serve option. […]
