Saturday Snap – National Day for Truth & Reconciliation (Words vs. Actions)

I recently wrote about the gap that often exists between words and action. This may be the most egregious example I’ve ever seen: On the national day for truth and reconciliation we wanted to remember the last day camp buffalo bones stood. The mayor wanted to commemorate NDTR on Wednesday- this audio is from that […]

So I did. Then, after all their asking, not sure why they rejected my review! 😉 Greatest Tarp of All-Time? Greatest Tarp of All-Time! I wasn’t sure what to expect when i ordered this 30×50 blue polyethylene tarp that was listed on the Rona web site. But I was pleasantly surprised to receive a 30×50 […]

Wisdom Wednesday – Actions, Not Words

I’ve been thinking about actions vs. words a lot lately. One of the things that really brought home this important distinction was when I had to leave the Regent Place branch of Regina Public Library after eight years as Branch Head following a re-org of supervisors and managers.

Friday Fun Link – Visualizing Why Americans Increasingly Use Sub-Titles

Not understanding accents. Poor sound mixing. Helps overcome noisy distractions while watching. (Ironically as I type this, Sasha is literally digging in the fridge asking if we have any yoghurt as Shea and I (try to) watch “Daisy Jones and the Six” – and yes, we have sub-titles on!) Bad hearing Not necessarily bad hearing […]

Wisdom Wednesday – The Difference Between Control and Support

They may be introverted or extroverted, new to the role or with years of experience, heavily trained in management theory or have developed their approach through real-life experience.

MJF Does Some Simple Math

MFJ might be one of my favourite wrestlers working today and this callback promo is exactly why – the guy lives wrestling and wrestling history and takes advantage of his current feud with Samoa Joe to perfectly evoke one of the best, funniest promos in wrestling history: Callback: According to @The_MJF the numbers don't lie […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Sea Urgency (January 2012)

“Sea Urgency” instead of “Sea Urchin” is a malapropism that Sasha coined in Mexico but it applies for this picture taken during a snorkeling excursion in Hawaii in January 2012 long before she was born…

Friday Fun Link – Clone Your Voice Using AI, Give It A Personality and Then Converse With Yourself

Unfortunately, you may have to join a waitlist to get access to this tool (at least I did.) But then again, maybe I don’t want to talk to myself (at least out loud!) I just spoke to myself, and it was weird. You can now clone your voice using a few seconds of audio, give […]
