Friday Fun Link – The Tallest Building Between Winnipeg and Calgary

…and we were hanging out on top of it earlier tonight (though I know it’s hard to tell how high we are from the angle of this photo!)

Music Monday – “Time to say goodbye to countries I never saw and shared with you, now, yes, I shall experience them.”

Happy Fourth of July! Fireworks filmed from a drone – very cool… “Con te partirò (Time To Say Goodbye)” – Andrea Bocelli

Game of Thrones’ Best Fight Scenes (Set to Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs”)

The final episode of season 6 airs tonight and after last week’s episode (which is the highest rated single episode of a TV show in history), I can’t wait! This clip is a good warm-up for the series finale.  Warning: contains so much awesome…

One Legged Former Wrestler, Zach Gowen, Kicks Ass on American Ninja Warrior

I remember watching Zach Gowen during his run in the WWE and being as impressed with his mental approach to life as his physical approach. He’s no longer in the WWE but he’s still showing how he can overcome obstacles using a combination of physical and mental toughness. Pretty amazing!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Dad and His Classic Car (early 1960’s?)

Usually for Throwback Thursday, I find a photo from sometime between 2006 (when I got my first digital camera) and now. But just like last week when I found a pic of Shea and her mom when Shea was quite young, I stumbled upon another older photo in my archives – my dad with what […]

Ricochet vs. Will Ospreay Full Match

A young guy took photos of himself every day for five straight years to create this montage of a Coldplay song. Spoiler alert but since the thumbnail he picked gives it away anyhow, it appears that he came up with a pretty cool way to commemorate his undergrad years… “Life in Technicolour” – Coldplay

Friday Fun Link – The First Ever Performance of “Purple Rain”

Prince was against his music being available on most streaming services (except artist-friendly Tidal) and even YouTube so it’s hard to find clips to help celebrate the man and his music after his untimely passing yesterday. Still, there are spots where some clips exist online – none more historic than his first-ever live performance of […]

A Few Thoughts On @BernieSanders Use of Technology #feelthebern #primaryday #newyork

So today was a pretty big day in the United States as born and raised Brooklyn boy, Bernie Sanders went up against adopted hometown gal, Hillary Clinton in the New York primary in their ongoing battle to secure the Democratic Party nomination. As someone who’s very interested in the use of digital technology and social media in politics, I […]
