After waking to ominous grey skies, we made the call to keep the party at Nickle Lake rather than moving into Grandpa and Grandma Thompson's house in Weyburn for Pace's birthday. We were rewarded with a beautiful, sunny (if a bit windy) day with a great turnout for the party, delicious burgers and hot dogs […]

Hmmm…Dice Stacking?
I'm sort of burnt out after a full day of inventory & weeding on Friday (more than a full day – we were at it from 6am until 9pm or so) and then a full day today spent at Nickel Lake, just outside Weyburn, getting ready for the big birthday party coming up on Monday. […]
Emergency! (TV Show, not a call for help)
Sometimes it's the stupidest things that make you realise how amazing and cool and awesome the Internet truly is. Yesterday, we saw a fire truck leaving its station while we were out and about and, for the first time in about, oh, twenty-five years, I thought about a TV show I loved as a kid […]
I'm So Proud – My First Official Copyright Violation Notice (a single tear rolls down my cheek)
The funniest part is that I've got nothing but positive comments about my Pace montage on YouTube and I probably encouraged one or two people to seek out (and maybe even buy!) this old country tune. Well, I can't complain too much – Universal Music Group is progressive enough that they let the video stay […]
Pace in the Pit
At the risk of turning this blog into Cute Overload, here's another Pace-related clip. There's an indoor playground in Regina called “It's A Blast” (think a typical McDonald's playground but, uh, super-sized) that's apparently the largest of its kind in western Canada. We'd known about it for awhile but thought he'd be too small for […]
"You can however, see a screening of 'I Am Legend'. Of course, somebody probably downloaded it from the Net." – Brad Fidler Searches For the Actual Physical Location Where the Internet Began
Quinn's friend, Brad Fidler, happens to be at the UCLA where, in 1969, the first message was transmitted across what we now know as the Internet. He's made a video about his quest to find the actual site where the message was sent from and put it online: I Found the First Internet Site from […]

If you're a nextgen librarian, this clip will likely make you feel all tingly! (See also: Web 2.0 – The Machine Is Us/ing Us)
Flickr Adds Video Clips
Flickr has added the option to upload short video clips. They've got some major differences from other video sites and appear to be treating the videos mostly as a way to complement your photos for the time being. The goal is not to have people upload long videos or clips of copyrighted material. To reinforce […]
"Sliver" – Nirvana (and some thoughts on the downside of attachment parenting)
I heard “Sliver” by Nirvana on the Regina community radio station this morning and it made me think of Pace's current trick. He now understands that Shea sometimes leaves the room or isn't in his line of sight. He still doesn't understand that she always come back. So as soon as it happens, he FREAKS […]
