Pace has been counting down the “sleeps” until we go to Cuba on Thursday. Meanwhile his daddy has been counting down “how many days left of standing at the bus stop freezing my butt off?” 😉 We leave Thursday for a week’s vacation and since Cuba is one of the least connected countries in the […]
This is a tough one to watch – a couple beagles rescued from a laboratory are filmed as they take their first steps outside on grass and into the sun (with mawkish music on the soundtrack to magnify the effect.) (via MetaFilter which gets into an interesting debate about the pros and cons of animal […]
It’s no secret that I’m interested in the role of “fun” – fun at work, fun at home, fun in life – not just because fun is, well, FUN! but because I strongly believe it has a real impact on how people work, live and interact. One timely example comes from the National Family Literacy […]
A very cool statistical representation of various world statistics. (H/T to Kelly P. on Facebook)

Shea’s been wanting a Wii for a long time and it was looking like we’d get one this Christmas. But then, she came across the XBox Kinect – a motion-based gaming system where, instead of any handheld controller, your body motions are scanned by a camera/scanner combo placed somewhere near your TV and that’s how […]
Today is “Have Sex With a Guy With a Mustache” Day, created (by Maxim magazine? Oh, sorry – I mean, Asylum magazine) as a way for women to support the men they love as they grow all those oh-so-sexy soup strainers in support of prostate cancer. In related news, I thought about registering for Movember […]
A very moving photo-essay about living with a parent with Alzheimer’s (featuring some very unique web design as well – click at the bottom of each page to advance to the next one.) (via Reddit)
