You don't look a day over 29 (okay, maybe one day over 29! )
It's Family Day here in Sask and elsewhere across Canada so I thought I'd post the following video in honour of the day. It's the video slideshow version of a photo book that we made for the grandparents at Christmas set to a nice little White Stripes song.
Last May for Mother's Day I set up a Kiva account for Shea from Pace and put $100 in it. Now almost a year later, our initial loans were 75% repaid. After watching the following video we decided to immediately re-loan that money rather than waiting for it all to be paid back. Here is […]
Before the Internet, I probably would not have had access to Christopher Walken's techniques for roasting a chicken. My life is better for having this knowledge…
If I had to pick a single song to define my time as an undergrad, it would likely be this one. The song only took on more relevance after I went to York, England in 1995 for a four-month exchange. I post it today in honour of Chris McG., one of the American exchange students […]
I posted this song a couple years ago, long before I started my “Music Monday” theme posts. But it's such a good song, especially when it's cold as hell outside and you need a dose of summery-themed goodness, that I thought a re-post was in order. (Of course that's also the second re-post of an […]

When launched, it will likely have WiFi, a camera, flash memory (instead of a hard drive), a full Linux install and retail for […]
About a year ago, I got a “Claim of Copyright” notice for the montage video I made of photos around Pace's birth using the song “Tippy-Toeing” by Loretta Lynne. When I first read it, I thought the music label (Universal) was saying they were going to take down the video unless I could prove I […]
I'm no fan of the techmo music but when Stephen Colbert demands that none of his viewers remix the interview after a visit from Lawrence Lessig, that's good enough for me! (I've got the first one I saw embedded below but there are a few others so far who've taken up the challenge as well.)
