Going Green in Calgary Centre? I Hope So (And I Don’t Care Who Knows!)
This is probably not a great thing to admit to while not only doing a lot of writing about but also heavily volunteering for one of four NDP leadership candidates here in Saskatchewan. But I have to admit that if I still lived in Calgary Centre, I’m fairly certain I’d be voting for the Green […]
2012 Tesla Model S Electric Car Wins MotorTrend “Car of the Year” Award by Unanimous Vote
The Tesla company which produces electric cars and which Mitt Romney infamously labelled a “loser” after Barack Obama’s government invested in it, recently won MotorTrend’s “Car of the Year” award by unanimous vote which was also the first win by an electric car in the 64-year history of the award. (Now who’s laughing, Mitt?) Now I […]
Friday Fun Link – Analysing the Reading Level of the 21 Most Popular Sub-Reddits
Cool idea but not too many surprises on this list – the science sub-reddit is really high (just shy of grade 9 level) and the one for people who smoke pot is really low (just shy of grade 5 level). Also nice to see /r/atheism come in as one of the top three most advanced […]
Felix Baumgartner Record-Setting Freefall Skydive
I wasn’t one of the millions watching the record setting freefall by Felix Baumgartner live today. But even watching the highlights video below took my breath away. Before you watch that video, here’s some highlights from this guy’s other previous jumps around the world to whet your appetite. Now watch this one. Humans are truly amazing creatures sometimes…

The only version of Hawksley Workman’s “First Snow of the Year” I could find on YouTube right now is copyright controlled so instead, you get a kids’ choir version (which actually adds to the winter/Christmas feel!) One question I haven’t resolved – when I do my annual “first snow of the year” post, what defines […]
Friday Fun LInk – Genetic Portraits
A Canadian photographic artist is getting lots of attention for his blended portraits where he combines photos of parents and children into a single image – often with striking results.
Pace’s First Scholastic School Book Order
Another big school-related milestone for Pace… (Man, I loved getting books from Scholastic as a kid!)
A Quick Note on Online Polls in the #skndpldr Leadership Race
I hadn’t written about this last week because I didn’t want to come across as complaining just because Ryan didn’t do well during the first online polls conducted by CTV in Saskatoon and Regina about the leadership race. But I saw that Accidental Jurist wrote about how online polls can indicate a candidate’s support today but neglected […]
Now You Know – Feeling Buzzed
Now I Know (site currently down making this a bad day to post this but whatever) is an enjoyable little e-newsletter that comes out every couple of days with all kinds of interesting facts about all kinds of things. Here’s the most recent one… You’re sitting at your desk, standing in the kitchen, watching TV, […]
