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…

Friday Fun Link – The New Slogan Is Working! AEW Is Coming To The City That Rhymes With Fun

Okay, I’m pretty sure the dates announces for the Canadian Tour predates the “Experience Regina” rebrand.  But who cares because I’ve got tickets and am going!  Plus it’s apparently going to be a TV taping, possibly for a brand new AEW show. As a teaser, here’s some highlights from an amazing match AEW showed on […]
