Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Star Wars Christmas (sometime in the early 1980’s) & Friday Fun Link – “The Force Awakens” Random Thoughts

Not often I get to combine my Throwback Thursday and Friday Fun Link but after making a fairly spontaneous decision to go to a midnight showing of the new Star Wars movie last night, I thought posting this picture was a bit of both categories. I’ll try to keep it spoiler-free as I give a […]

100 Movie Dance Scenes Mash-Up

This amazing mash-up has been making the rounds on social media…

Awesome Bike Jumps in Slow Motion

As mentioned in Sunday’s post about our recent camping highlights, here’s a video clip Pace basically compiled himself after I showed him the basics of using iMovie.  This includes adding sound effects, visual effects, trimming some of the clips, duplicating others and more. If you happen to have a Google/YouTube account, feel free to “Like” […]

Friday Fun Link – Funny Shades of Grey

Shea and I may or may not have recently subjected ourselves to one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. We probably should’ve just watched the (honest) trailer and/or some video reviews. Make sure you watch the “Elders React” one – it’s hilarious!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – BA – English

Often when I’m out at the University of Regina, I’ll wander the halls of the ol’ alma mater to see what’s changed and what’s stayed the same. In a very “Dead Poet’s Society” moment, I came across my photo on the wall during a visit a few years back.  Look at that young whippersnapper, all […]

You Can’t Defend Public Libraries and Oppose File Sharing

Libraries and file-sharing do not differ in principle. The purpose of libraries was – is – to make culture and knowledge available to as many as possible, as efficiently as possible, for free – simply because of the greater socioeconomic benefit of an educated and cultural populace. How is this not file-sharing? Great article that […]

Music Monday – “When the night has come/And the land is dark/And the moon is the only light we’ll see” (RIP Ben E. King)

Is there a better coming-of-age movie than “Stand By Me”?  And the title song of that movie is part of the reason it had such an impact on me. I remember seeing “Stand By Me” in the theatre in Indian Head when I was about 13 years old then walking out into the street and […]

How Popular Are The Various Netflix Original Series?

On the recommendation of a co-worker, Shea and I are working through “The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”, a Netflix original series.  (That link will go to Wikiwand.com – a site I recently discovered that presents Wikipedia pages in a more visually appealing, readable format.) Watching that series led me to this article which discusses how a company that’s […]

Friday Fun Link – Breakdown of Swearing in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”

Friday Fun Link – Explain The Events of Star Wars IV-VI Like You Are A Heavily-Biased Imperial History Textbook

This is pretty funny stuff… The Emperor’s most trusted lieutenant and advisor, Darth Vader, was seen as an imposing and frightening figure to those who did not know him. This was because Vader, a veteran of the Clone Wars, had been injured in battle, and required a full-body suit to sustain him. The suit was […]
