  • Franz Kafka International Airport

    I think this is my all-time favourite video: I was showing it to some colleagues at work the other day and you know what, no matter how many times I’ve watched it, it’s still hilarious to me.

  • Hawaii

    You know that thing where you go on vacation and then you come back and not only did all the work that you didn’t do while you were away not get done, but it seems to have made some new friends while you were gone so you now have about eleventy billion emails to deal […]

  • Stuff I Learned This Year: Epigenetics Edition

    So I’ve been totally slack on blogging about the stuff I’ve learned this year as part of my goal to learn 12 new things in 2017. I’ve been learning stuff, but just not getting around to blogging about it. But I’m on vacay now, so I’ll have time to catch up on all the stuff […]

  • Thanks, Past Me!

    The great thing about having a terrible memory is that when you support a Kickstarter fundraiser, by the time the thing you are funding gets released, you’ve forgotten that you funded it and then you get a surprise package in the mail. It’s like a gift from Past Me to Future (Now Present) Me! Case-in-point: […]

And for all it’s click-bait worthiness, you’ll be surprised to learn what that is. Apparently, way back in the old-time-y days of […]

  • Scientists Like Lasers

    Two words for you: laser tag. Anyone who didn’t celebrate their milestone-birthday-whose-number-shall-not-be-named by playing laser tag really missed out. You will not find a finer group of laser taggers than this crew. I knew I wanted to do something different for my birthday this year and after much deliberation, I settled on laser tag. I […]

  • Items I Knocked Off My List of 101 Things To Do List

    I set a goal to knock 16 items off my 101 things to do in 1001 days list during 2016 and while I failed spectacularly at doing that, most of the 5 things that I did were pretty awesome. In level of increasing awesomeness, they were: 21. Get rid of the fake trees my condo’s […]

  • One Week Today….

    … I’ll be co-presenting a workshop in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador with my sister! I am very excited about this for a number of reasons, including (but not limited to) and in no particular order: the content we are presenting on is very cool and I’m excited to share it with colleagues the conference […]
