Friday Fun Link – Dig A Hole To The Other Side of the World
I’m sure everybody’s wondered where they’d end up if they could dig a hole directly through to the other side of the earth. In fact, I think the official playground ruling on this immortal question, at least for anyone contemplating this question in Canada, is “China”. Now, technology allows you to answer that exact question […]
The 50 Best Tasting Foods in the World
CNN conducted an unscientific worldwide poll and after getting 35 000 responses, created a list of the 50 best tasting foods in the world. Canada hits the list at 46 with maple syrup but that’s our only contribution. Surprisingly (?) the two top ranked dishes are both Indonesian (did Indonesians scam the poll?), neither of […]
“Rome Sweet Rome” – A Very Cool Web-Generated Novella

That leads to one Redditor writing it up the idea as a very engaging novella, a dedicated sub-Reddit for further discussion of the idea and even […]

Letting your child use an upturned picnic table as a playhouse when camping… 😉
Peoplemov.in: Migration Flows Across The World (and The Secret to Canada’s Future Success?)

This types into a recent article (which I can’t find now but there are many web sites making the same claim) that Canada needs to push its population to 100 […]
Saturday Snap – Aloha!
In 2002, Shea and I joined my parents for two weeks in Kailua, Oahu. We’ve just confirmed that we’ll be going again in January 2012 which will be the tenth anniversary of our first trip! This time, Shea and I decided we’d like to see something different so we’re going to spend one week in […]
Our Newfoundland Itinerary
I thought it might be nice to post our Newfoundland itinerary with some of the details about what we did, stuff we ate (& drank!), where we ate, and other tips/suggestions for a trip to The Rock – both for our family and friends and for anyone who stumbles across this post looking for some […]
Music Monday – “Sonny carries a load, he is barely a man/There’s not all that much to do, still he does the best he can/And he lives in a room, at the top of the stairs/And the sea keeps on rollin in, it’s done that for years.”
Yet another Newfoundland classic guaranteed to get everybody in the pub singing along… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n85qNejhQxw
