In our digital age, where we are (or should be) trained to be skeptical about everything we read and see – was that model photoshopped? Was that anti-vaccine information published in a scientific journal or by a non-PhD holding, former Playmate? Was that B-level celebrity’s meltdown just an attempt to gain publicity and attention? – […]

Travel The World Without Leaving Your Laptop
The day before we left for Hawaii a couple years ago, I did a post summarizing how much of a role various web sites – from Google to Reddit to Trip Advisor – played in helping to plan and just generally build excitement for our trip. I mentioned Google Maps in passing in that post […]
Friday Fun Link – Cards Against Humanity (Library Edition)
I haven’t had the opportunity to play Cards Against Humanity but have heard enough about it to know that the Library Edition would be especially hilarious, at least for a small subset of people I know! 😉 Here’s a demo of the original game so you can get a sense of how it goes…
“Say Something” – Alex & Sierra
I probably should’ve saved this for a Music Monday post but anyhow, I think I’ve admitted to watching TV singing contests (mostly “American Idol” and “X Factor”, not “The Voice” or the various other ones that are out there) and as an admitted huge fan of The Submarines, I like that the winners of X […]
Music Monday – “He said, ‘Dad, how are you unable/To love me/For who I am?'”
Devin Cuddy is the son of Blue Rodeo’s Jim Cuddy. Equally rootsy and catchy as his dad but young Cuddy’s music explores topics I don’t think his dad’s ever did… “My Son’s A Queer” – Devin Cuddy
Wringing Out A Towel in Space
I got Chris Hadfield’s “An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth” as a Christmas gift and just finished it. That inspired me to revisit some of the videos he made on the International Space Station. How cool is this one? (And am I the only one who wonders how they ensure the little bubbles of […]
Music Monday – “Yeah, when we met I was sold/Yeah, but nothing is colder than you.”
I know this song isn’t really about the weather. But if nothing else, the title of this song by a popular Saskatchewan band from back in the day seemed appropriate for the winter in this province so far and especially for the last few days in particular… “Colder Than You” – The Waltons
Pace’s Five Favourite Memories From His Christmas Holidays
About to return to school tomorrow (and still awake when he should be sleeping), I’ve asked Pace to be a guest blogger tonight and tell me some of his favourite memories from his Christmas holidays… Seeing the *real* Santa for the third time in his life! Santa was in the neighbourhood checking if kids were […]
Time: The History and Future of Everything
I know my Atheist Advent series of technically over but I’ll share one final video I had bookmarked that I thought addressed one specific issue really well, namely that a big part of the reason that human are religious is that we simply fail to grasp the time scales involved in things like evolution and […]
Atheist Advent Calendar – Day 23 – Music Monday – “I really like Christmas/It’s sentimental I know/But I just really like it/I’m hardly religious/I’d rather break bread with Dawkins than Desmond Tutu to be honest”
There was a method to my madness in posting a Tim Minchin song as my Music Monday selection for each of the past few weeks during my “Atheist Advent” series. It was all to lead up to Minchin’s ultimate achievement and one of the best non-traditional Christmas songs I’ve ever heard – funny, insightful, wistful, […]
