“The Speech” – A Look Back at Obama’s Breakthrough Moment (and Ryan Meili’s Potential Equivalent?)

As the Democratic National Convention kicks off this week, I’m reminded of the single speech that catapulted Obama into the national spotlight at the 2004 convention. Coincidentally today, the race for the leadership of the Saskatchewan NDP kicked off. I’ve written before about the parallels I’ve seen between Barack Obama and Ryan Meili, one of […]

Music Monday – “What’s gonna happen to you/You have woke up too soon/And found the world rearranged/And now your feelings have changed”

Shea found this one which is timely for Pace’s first day of kindergarten this week (and also for triggering tears in his very mixed emotion parents):

Music Monday – “You Just Put Your Lips Together…and Blow”

I usually put a lyric from the featured song in the title of my Music Monday posts but this one’s a little harder for obvious reasons. So instead, I’ve used a famous movie quote that’s quite fitting (so fitting, it was also referenced in a recent hit song called “Whistle“.) (via Huffington Post)

Friday Fun Link – What Are Some of the Most Impressive Things Ever Built of Lego?

Pace has become an absolute Lego fiend in the past year or so. He’ll spend hours building increasingly complex vehicles and scenes – many of which blow me away with how creative they are. He’s not at this level yet but he’s getting there… An Array of Minifigs, Good vs. Bad We Can’t Go Camping […]

Knock Knock. Who’s There? Rape? Rape Who? Rape Jokes – Are They Funny?

About a month ago, there was a minor uproar online after a female patron at a comedy show posted of an extremely unsettling experience her and her friend had on a Tumblr blog. The two women decided to go to a show featuring well-known comic Dane Cook (who they’d heard of) with Daniel Tosh (who […]

Roger Marin Played Regina Tonight, The Crowd Was Small But Mighty!

Tuesday night after a long weekend in a sleepy government town isn’t the easiest sell so it was a small crowd. (“How small was it, Jason?” Well, there was a bigger crowd when I saw Roger play in a friend’s garage in Calgary ten years ago.) But I still enjoyed the show – after a […]
