Boo – no Canada in this list of national flags made from 18 countries’ most representative foods – how easy would it be to make the red stripes of our flag out of back bacon and the maple leaf out of…maple syrup of course! Geez, one of the first results when you Google “Canadian flag bacon” […]
Who knows how long it will be there but right now, there’s a full version of the most recent Paul McCartney concert DVD up on YouTube (I’ve been listening to the CD version on Rdio non-stop for the last week!)
As I mentioned yesterday in my random thoughts about the McCartney concert post, one of the things I learned in advance of the show is that McCartney often picks out someone holding a sign in the front rows and brings them on stage to meet them or accept the gift they’ve brought or whatever.

It’s weird being a blogger sometimes because it affects how you think about things (there are theories that social media sites like Facebook have the same effect where you can’t just enjoy experiences because you’re always thinking how to spin them/frame them/present them to your online audience.)
