Music Monday – "Scaramouche, scaramouche/Will you do the fandango?"

A unique version of the infamous Queen song featuring a comic doing 25 of the most annoying distinctive voices in popular music.  “Bohemian Rhapsody” – Queen

Fathers & Sons

I first posted this video last Christmas but I think today's a much more appropriate spot for it.  The underlying truth about Father's Day that I realised this year is that it isn't so much about celebrating fathers as it's a chance for fathers to celebrate their kids.  (With that said, there's no reason a […]

Friday Late Link – Nerds vs. Jocks – The True Cultural Divide in America

John Hodgman roasts Barack Obama at the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner while trying to decide if the new President is a nerd or a jock (and including a subtle message that perhaps the expectations for Obama were set too high?).

"We've Woken Up This Party"

Ryan's concession speech is now up on YouTube.  I don't know what to say as I'm still, even a couple weeks later, oscillating between disappointment at how close the result was only to come up short in the end and unbelievable joy when I think about how much his campaign was able to accomplish in […]

Music Monday – "No one can look as good as you/Mercy!

[Edit: A loyal reader has informed me that edarem, the man who made the video below, is a registered sex offender in two states and has a variety of other creepy habits and histories.  That makes this video about a million times creepier if that's possible.] Seriously, if you scare easy, don't watch this…

O Noir Restaurant – Montreal

This is where myself and two colleagues from Saskatchewan had supper tonight after the end of the CLA conference…It's pretty amazing for a number of reasons.  This restaurant is completely in the dark once you leave the reception area where you order your meal and leave all forms of illumination in lockers (cell phones, lighters, […]

Ryan Meili – The Next Leader of the Saskatchewan NDP!

We're a week away from the Saskatchewan NDP convention and it's hard to believe how far Ryan and his campaign have come in a few short months.  From being one of three people all working hard for the second place spot in the minds of voters, I would say that all indications – money raised, […]

Friday Fun Link – A Trailer For "The Road" (May 22, 2009)

I haven't looked this forward to a movie since probably “Batman: Dark Knight” which completely lived up to my expectations plus more.  I hope this one does the same – one of the best books I've read (and re-read) in the past year or two.

Maybe Ryan Meili Should Adopt The Nickname "Link" Too?

Here's a two-part video I stumbled across on YouTube about the “Making the Links” program for U of S medical students which takes them to First Nations communities in northern Saskatchewan, rural villages in Mozambique and to the SWITCH (Student Wellness Initiative Toward Community Health) clinic that Ryan Meili co-founded in Saskatoon's inner-city.  The “Making […]

Music Monday – "Now the lounge is full of farmers for the 7:30 draw/Teammates all left before they had to buy a round/When they pull the 50/50 and I've lost again, I'll go"
