Gimme One Reason

I keep trying to find the perfect article, the perfect viral video, the perfect web site that might convince Conservatives that, if they don’t want to switch their vote, at the least, maybe there’s a reason to stay home on Monday rather than support Stephen Harper? The options always seem to have problems – too […]

Too Many Tabs Tuesday – Cuba Bound!

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 […]

Sappy Sunday – First Steps in the Sun

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 […]

Friday Fun Link – Making Stairs Fun

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 […]

Bacon Party!

As opposed to a “sausage party“, a bacon party would be something I would be very excited to attend! 😉 In fact, if queried, I would likely say that bacon is one of my favourite foods – definitely top five anyhow.  (Shea and I have been known to cook up four pounds of bacon at […]

Going Viral

As I posted on Facebook on New Year’s Day, there was a time when puking all night on New Year’s Eve meant you’d had a “good time”.  But this year, it wasn’t such a good time since Pace caught a flu bug and spent the night in bed between Shea and I, puking into a […]

2010 “End of Year Questions” Meme: BC Bound, Getting Kinected, Hello SILS!

I’ve done this every year since I started this blog and once again, here’s a quick summary of my 2010 in meme form: 1. What did you do this year that you’d never done before? Since my grandparents lived in BC for most of my life (they left Saskatchewan the year I was born so how’s that […]

Santa Comes Early (Just Move Your Hands)

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 […]
