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 […]

Spoiler Alert! (Hint: Green Is Going Grey) #riders #greycup #yqr

I had to work today so had set the PVR to record the Riders vs. Stamps Western Final CFL game. I also strategized how to not accidentally hear the score before I got home – no glimpses at Facebook on my smartphone, no checking Twitter at my break, only trying to make the most generic […]

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. […]

Itinerary of a Day Off

As part of my new job as Regent Place Branch Head, I now work a few evenings and weekend shifts each month which means at least once a month my “weekend” is on Monday and Tuesday. This can be a big advantage sometimes when Pace is in school and I can get to appointments I […]

Music Monday – “And I know that by February/My thoughts on snow will be contrary/But this is now and then is then!”

Here are a few pics I threw together in a slideshow to celebrate the first snow of the year. “Celebrate” might sound like the wrong word but for me, the first snow of the year is always exciting and, as the song says, “I know that by February/My thoughts on snow will be contrary/But this […]

Saturday Snap – Perogy Poutine

I don’t post a lot of pictures of food on my blog but I couldn’t let this one go by. After Pace’s swimming lessons today, we decided to check out a new restaurant called Coney Island Cafe which was rumoured to have a few varieties of poutine rather than the traditional fries/gravy/cheese curds version you […]

Music Monday – “9 was minding his business/Talking to 10 about Gordie Howe’s clothes/Why 7 ate 9 nobody knows”

Pace’s grade one class has access to a site called IXL.ca. This site has a series of modules on various aspects of math that kids can work through to learn concepts including counting, addition, shapes and so on. There are dozens of modules under various headings, each with escalating levels of difficulty – for example, under […]
