The Leader Post recently featured a revealing article about Regina lawyer, activist and federal NDP candidate, Noah Evanchuk (I’d link to the Wikipedia page I created about him but the bastards at Wikipedia think that being a candidate in a federal election isn’t enough to make you notable unless you win the election. Stupid, made […]
A timely (ha!) article about Daylight Savings Time. Saskatchewan doesn’t have it although it’s a constant topic of discussion on coffee row and elsewhere across the province. Premier Wall even promised to take it to the voters in our most recent election so we could choose. But he apparently realized it wasn’t politically savvy to […]
Well-known atheist, Sam Harris, recently posted “The Fireplace Delusion” as an analogy to help atheists understand how theists see the world (and especially how they feel when their beliefs are criticized). The point he makes is that a wood fire – in a home hearth or around a campfire – with its strong associations of […]
I’ve mentioned Quora a couple times before. It’s a community-based Q&A site built by two ex-Facebook employees that some project will be bigger than Twitter and Wikipedia. The site lets you follow different topics as well as individual questions. This approach gives you a pretty high degree of personalization and the weekly e-mail digest of […]
Discovered an ice cream shop near our condo that has 104 flavors! So hard to choose so I didn’t – opting for shave ice once again! 😉

Canada comes in at #14 which means I’m moving to somewhere in Scandinavia. 😉 Just kidding but seriously, this isn’t that hard. Having daycare spaces for everyone makes for a better work-life balance? No shit. People not working a lot of extra hours makes a better work-life balance? No shit. Low child poverty makes for […]
As is often the case with many people who gain weight as they get older, I went from a high school graduating weight of 180 lbs to a “freshman fifteen” (okay, forty!) that took me up to around 220 in undergrad to a lifestyle in Calgary that was full of drinking beer, eating out and […]
Movember is over and here’s the first and final shot of my ‘stash. (I am so happy to have proved my body produces testosterone!) Thanks to all of my family, friends, classmates, work colleagues and others who donated (and you still can!) My modest initial fundraising goal was $100 but after I enter a few […]
There have been other sites – FriendFeed is one that immediately pops to mind – that have tried to become a central hub for all of your online activity. But I don’t know if any have ever tried to pull your online activity into one location as a repository, not just a hub. Now, the […]
