Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Stop Thief! Board Game (1979)

Came across an ad for this board game on a local buy/sell board. They wanted $75 (!) for this “classic” game so obviously not going to be picking it up. But it did bring back fond memories of playing it as a kid.  Is it any wonder I came to love technology and gadgets so […]

Secular Sunday – Church Donations Have Plunged Due to Coronavirus. Some Might Not Survive.

I’m an atheist but I acknowledge the massive role the church has played in various major aspects of society for thousands of years – from being host to many people’s personal milestones like weddings and funerals to influencing global geopolitics.

Friday Fun Link – Library Run “Famous Quotes” Database

I’ve always loved quotations and used to even “read” quotation books.  Now the web has modernized the idea in the form of quote web sites. There are a few options out there but I recently found out that a library system in Kentucky runs its own “Famous Quotes” web site which is pretty cool!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Naive We Were (School Year 2016-2017)

As June comes to an end, I have to post this meme I recently rediscovered. It’s funny how dabbing, fidget spinners and bottle flipping were the biggest issues a teacher had to deal with a few years back! I’m not up to doing a full photoshop job but can only imagine the updated version of […]

The Tragic Saga of Officer Stacey McMuffin

There’s been a huge amount of attention to police budgets and police brutality recently. It’s been so overwhelming that a 15-year veteran of a Georgia county police force had a melt down in a McDonald’s parking lot after her food didn’t come out right away and she thought the staff were likely planning to poison […]

Evolution of Covid-19 Case Numbers in Canadian Provinces

This is a good video but guilty of one of my biggest pet peeves of the data analysis of this entire pandemic – not using per capita numbers as a comparator. Without taking into account per capita numbers and barring some notable outliers (hello Alberta!), of course the most populous provinces are going to be […]
