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 […]

Star Wars Uncut

The entire Star Wars movie recreated in mash-up form from 15-second, fan-submitted clips makes for a very surreal viewing experience… (via MetaFilter which mentions that the sequel is now underway)

Friday Fun Link (Or ‘Friday Frightening Link’ If You’re Scared of Heights)

The Internet is amazing for the places it can take you and the things it can show you.  For example, when I saw a video for “World’s Most Dangerous Ride” posted on MetaFilter, I thought it was pretty cool… But that thread led to more clips that were *way* scarier. On a bike… No safety […]

Music Thursday?

So MeiliMondays have replaced Music Monday for the last couple months which is cool and fine but makes me want to just post a really awesome song now and again. This little clip, a song I’m sure I’ve posted before but can’t find because I cleverly post song lyrics instead of song titles for those […]

2012 Tesla Model S Electric Car Wins MotorTrend “Car of the Year” Award by Unanimous Vote

The Tesla company which produces electric cars and which Mitt Romney infamously labelled a “loser” after Barack Obama’s government invested in it, recently won MotorTrend’s “Car of the Year” award by unanimous vote which was also the first win by an electric car in the 64-year history of the award.  (Now who’s laughing, Mitt?) Now I […]

Friday Fun Link – Love Everybody

A pretty heart-warming video, even if I’ve been trained to be cynical enough about videos like this that at the end I thought it was probably a viral video for Coke! (Turns out it’s a charitable foundation called Love Everybody). (via LyinRPL)
