As I have on this blog every year since 2007, I’m planning a week-long series of posts relating to the unofficial Haunakah (er, or week-long holiday of your choice) for librarians everywhere – Freedom to Read Week! Tune in for the rest of the week for seven crazy nights of fun! To start it off, let’s […]

Friday Fun (?) Link – What Would It Feel Like For A Man To Be In Labour?
Shea kindly sent me this video of a couple young Dutch men who volunteered to have electrodes put on their abdomen to simulate the increasingly painful contractions of labour. It’s not in English but I’d say pain is a pretty universal language – although if I’m being a smart-ass, I’d also wonder if they were […]
Five Topics
Haven’t done one of these “5 Quick Hits” posts in awhile… Hockey I didn’t miss the NHL when it was locked out but I can honestly say that today was the first day I felt like coming home from work, popping open a beer and settling in to watch a game. Luckily that will be […]
Friday Fun Link – Sea Turtles at Anini Beach, Hawaii
Since I chose swimming with turtles on Anini Beach on the north shore of Kauai as the highlight of 2012 for me (see question #40), I thought I’d mark the one year anniversary of our departure on that trip with a video of that memorable moment…

Saturday Snap – New Year’s Day Waterslide Chase
We booked rooms at the local Travelodge for New Year’s Eve intending to do some watersliding with Shea’s parents, her aunt and Pace’s cousin. That’s what we did although when we went down to the pool and the pool attendant informed us that New Year’s Eve is their busiest day of the year in the […]
Friday Fun Link – 2012 in Four Minutes
I’m not sure whether to be proud or sad that I caught the vast majority of the references in this video… (If you prefer text links, this one has many of the same memes in the video. And here’s a summary of the year from a Canadian perspective.)
Friday Fun Link – 40 Song Xmas Song Medley
If, like me, you’re not quite ready to let Christmas go for another year, here’s a video medley of a bunch of different Christmas songs (bonus for the number of UK-centric Christmas songs that are a bit less well known on this side of the pond): (via /r/christmasmusic. You may also want to check out […]

Friday Fun Link – Funniest Wedding Grand Entrance Video Ever
There’s a whole sub-genre on YouTube of creative, funny, artistic wedding grand entrance & first dance videos. The one below is right up there in all three categories and bonus, it was shot by a couple in Lethbridge… Their proposal video is pretty good too, evoking one of my favourites of that kind, the World’s […]
