Saturday Snap – Our Li’l Metalhead

Ahhh, how sweet… But in all seriousness, “Cum On Feel the Noize” plays a very big role in my early “education”. A classmate was making a poster for a school dance in elementary school and I, being Mr. Brainiac Smart-pants, mentioned his obvious mis-spelling of the word “Come” on the poster. So, with the patience […]

Music Monday – “And then we’ll be married/Then we’ll be man and wife/No dress rehearsal/This is our life.”

Have I posted this before?  I feel like I have but I spent some time this weekend importing old Tragically Hip bootlegs into iTunes and it reminded me of how fully and completely (get it?) I used to be into the Hip – trading bootlegs, traveling around to attend different concerts, studying Gord’s lyrics like […]

Gorilla Cam

This is simultaneously the coolest and saddest thing I’ve seen. (The zoo does that to me.) It’s also got a nice twist at the end that proves we are, without-a-doubt, evolved from apes! 😉

Music Monday – Whitney Houston

I wasn’t her biggest fan but, as someone says in the MetaFilter obituary thread, her music was the soundtrack for many a high school dance.  Her talent and success can’t be denied either. Here’s her isolated vocal track on “How Will I Know?” which is pretty amazing. And here’s my favourite Whitney Houston song…

Music Monday – “I have felt some hard times/In my life/But I don’t want/To feel it anymore.”

I don’t watch David Letterman too often but happened to catch Paul McCartney’s son making his US network TV debut the other night and was impressed by this catchy tune. (And yes, he totally looks like his old man!)

Saturday Snap – Hawaii Vacation Montage

Here’s a video montage I made of some of the highlights of our recent trip to Kauai and Maui:

Friday Fun Link – Bookstore After Dark

This was sent around by one of our branch heads (who said he suspects the same thing happens at his location after dark!) Pretty cool!

Things Saskatchewanians Say

It’s funny ’cause it’s true!

Hawaii Trip – Shave Ice

Pace enjoys a local Hawaiian delicacy in the town made famous by the song, “Puff the Magic Dragon”, Hanalei…

Music Monday – “All that fibre optic gear/Cannot take away the fear/Like an island song”

Other than those opening lines about it being “cold, cold, cold” (today was +5), I think this is my theme song for the next couple weeks. Oh, and there’s also the line about “You’re caught up in the Internet/You think it’s such a great asset/But you’re wrong, wrong, wrong.”  Not sure how much I’ll be […]
