Music Monday – "Oh, the year was 1778/How I Wish I Were in Sherbrooke Now"

One of Canada's unofficial national anthems (although probably not the one that immediately comes to mind when I say that) got a recent plug on MetaFilter which led to a very interesting line-by-line analysis of the song and a great video clip as well…

Music Monday – "Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking/When I hear the silly things you say"

Elvis Costello injects a cover of Elvis Presley into his set at Glastonbury making this a double dose of each of the two Elvis's best songs…

Pace's First Time Skating

I read an article this weekend which stated that YouTube gets 10 hours of new video uploaded to it…per minute! I'm proud to do my part – here are a couple different clips from Pace's first time on skates (well, bob skates anyhow) at public skating tonight.  Extra funny – the person who was supposed […]

YouTube Surpasses Yahoo! As The Second Most Popular Search Engine – Is YouTube the Next Google?

In library school, we learned that young people today have become visual learners (to the point that their brain patterns are physically different than people in previous generations!)  While people of our parents age learned through books and people of my generation (Gen X) were like the transitional conductor between text and video, them crazy […]

The Monty Python Channel on YouTube

This is pretty funny and also somewhat groundbreaking.  (I'm sure some other entertainment entity has put everything they own the rights to up on YouTube by now, haven't they?)

Music Monday – "So if you go away/I know that I will follow"

I tried to think of the most embarrassing song I liked in high school.  This is what I came up with.  (God, I loved this song!)

100 Movie Spoilers in 5 Minutes

To me a spoiler is revealing a secret or an unexpected twist.  Some of these are not spoilers (“The Ducks win”? “Meg Ryan ends up with Tom Hanks”?  No shit – haven't you ever seen a Hollywood movie before?).  But the idea's still fun.   

Music Monday – "While There's a Lucifer To Light Your Fag/Smile Boys, That's The Style"

My grade two teacher had a local pianist come to my school regularly to teach our class a variety of traditional songs (“Snowbird” by Anne Murray was about as modern as it got!)  Most of those songs are ones I can still sing to this day and when you think of the impact that a […]

Two of Pace's Favourite New Tricks Are Climbing and Jumping…

When you combine them, you get…pro wrestling? (I think it's extra funny that he says “no, no, no” right before he jumps each time, as if he knows he shouldn't be doing it!)

Today's The Big Day!

Yep, Pace had his first visit to his day care in Regina today – monumental!Just kidding.  Obviously, the only story today is that, after months and months of electioneering, there will be a new US President.  And at the risk of jinxing it, the most respected polling aggregator is predicting a 99% chance of an […]
