Dr. Sam Trosow holds a pretty special place in my FIMS experience as both the first and last professor I had classes with. Thinking about my first class is pretty funny in retrospect but at the time quite stressful since I mis-read my schedule as my first night class happening at 7pm when in reality, […]

Music Monday – “Seems like everywhere I go/The more I see, the less I know”
It’s always good to have a song that makes you want to dance around the room and this song has the coveted “most played” top spot in my “Pace Dancing Tunes” playlist.
Friday Fun Link – 20 Years of Ness Creek Festival
I went to the Ness Creek Festival a few times in the late 1990’s. It’s got many similarities to the more typical folk music festivals you’re probably most familiar with but there’s something about this festival – its origins as a tree planters’ festival in a remote location probably being its most distinguishing feature – […]

Friday Fun(ny) Link – Baby’s First Word
When I was born, my parents were running a bulk fuel business in my hometown. I was basically raised in the office of that ESSO fuel station for the first few years of my life (which explains a lot of my current brain damage and any future cancers I may acquire!) With the number of […]
Santa Comes Early (Just Move Your Hands)
Shea’s been wanting a Wii for a long time and it was looking like we’d get one this Christmas. But then, she came across the XBox Kinect – a motion-based gaming system where, instead of any handheld controller, your body motions are scanned by a camera/scanner combo placed somewhere near your TV and that’s how […]
Music Monday – “I’M crazy? When I went to YOUR schools, I went to YOUR churches, I went to YOUR institutional learning facilities? So how can you say I’M crazy?”
A classic from my undergrad days (originally released in 1983 and re-recorded in 1993. I did not know that!)
Music Monday – “Don’t Let Me Down(load)”
After years of back and forth between Apple (the Beatles record label) and Apple (the technology company), the Beatles are now on iTunes!
Friday Fun Link – Sports Cliches
Looking forward to the big Riders game this weekend (though I’ve managed to double-book myself for Sunday afternoon so am thinking “PVR game and try to make it home from event without hearing/seeing/webbing the score” will have to be my strategy. Not ideal since my most direct route home goes right past the stadium where […]
Music Monday – “I guess he’s an X-Box/And i’m more Atari/But the way you play your game ain’t fair.”
Sure, the original Cee Lo Brown song is mega-catchy and will have kids getting detention after being caught singing it on the playground for months to come. But really, didn’t the song just call out for a ukelele cover by a young woman sitting in what appears to be a closet?
