Saturday Snap – Our House Is Smarter Than We Are!

Had a technician out to do some upgrading to our Internet service and he laughed and said we had more connected devices than any house he’s ever seen!

Insane Sub-Two Hour Marathon Run

Eliud Kipchoge’s 1:59:40 marathon run is truly insane when you break down the numbers: ??4:35 per mile pace (the record for one mile is 3:43 and he kept the pace 26x) ??OR 2:50 per KM pace (he did it 42x and each kilometre was within 2:48 to 2:52)??The average men’s marathon… pic.twitter.com/zGJ4LI6rhm — Trung Phan […]

Saturday Snap – Glow Float

The Kayak Club at Nickle Lake where we camp recently had their first-ever “Glow Float” fundraiser where you could rent a kayak or stand-up paddle board (or bring your own), decorate it with glow sticks and then take it out for an hour late on a Sunday night. We were going to do it but […]

Friday Fun Link – Clone Your Voice Using AI, Give It A Personality and Then Converse With Yourself

Unfortunately, you may have to join a waitlist to get access to this tool (at least I did.) But then again, maybe I don’t want to talk to myself (at least out loud!) I just spoke to myself, and it was weird. You can now clone your voice using a few seconds of audio, give […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Bellagio Fountains (March 2009)

May have told this story before but my parents won a trip for two to Las Vegas and it happened to coincide with a week that Shea and I had booked off. So after a bit of chaos to get Pace (two going on three) a rush passport, we booked and ended up going along. […]

Friday Fun Link – Sing A Note

Can’t find it now but whoever posted this (likely on Reddit?) said this reminds them of the random silly amazingness of the early days of the Internet before a handful of tech giants controlled pretty much all content and discourse (and yes, I know there’s irony saying that since this is a YouTube video!)

Saturday Snap – Sasha’s Birthday Sleepover

Booked Sweet Dreamz Slumber, a local company that sets up tents with lights, banners, serving trays outside the tent, a ceiling light show device and more for Sasha’s 10th birthday party sleepover. Was cool to have them arrive one-by-one and go downstairs to hear things like: “Oh. My. God.”, “This is AMAZING!”, “So cool”.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – The Greatest Saskatoon Blade of All-Time (March 2015)

Sasha and I got to meet Wendel Clark at “Hometown Hockey” in Regina back in 2015.  (Even had a funny exchange with a hero from my childhood.) Kinda funny that his junior numbers weren’t amazing (he’s no Connor Bedard, that’s for sure!) but I suspect it was actually his PIM which helped him go first […]

Friday Fun Link – All Star Wars Movies Summarized in Five Minutes

How did I miss that Topher Grace made an extended five minute trailer of *all* Star Wars films that’s actually pretty awesome…
