This is a cross-country day celebrating science.  At the U of R, all the various science faculties got together to do demonstrations for the general public.  I was working but was able to run out to the Uni over my […]

Friday Fun Link – International Space Station HD Live Feed

The International Space Station is now providing a live HD feed which is pretty amazing.

Music Monday – “Every four way stop that I approached/Hey, I was on the right/When I drove past your house again/Hey, like I always do/I think about the one thing in my life that didn’t come true”

An entire hour and a half long Fred Eaglesmith concert, taped in Holland? Man, I love the Internet for so many reasons…it eliminates time, distance and provides access to stuff you’d never see otherwise. I can’t imagine what it’ll be like in 5-10 years when literally everything that’s ever been broadcast, everything we can see […]

I’ve since designed numerous web sites and even got paid to produce many […]

Friday Fun Link – Who Owns The Copyright to the World’s Most Retweeted Photo?

Ellen Degeneres arranged a “spontaneous” selfie with some heavy hitters at the recent Oscar telecast.  After tweeting it, it quickly crashed Twitter, became the most re-tweeted photo of all-time eclipsing Obama’s “Four More Years” tweet many times over, and becoming ripe for parody.
