The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
So I went in on Wednesday to get my braces adjusted. Specifically, they took out the existing wire and put in a thicker one. As well, this thicker wire was longer so that the brackets on my lower back molars could be including in the tooth moving fun, as they were not attached to the […] →Read more
When I first created my list of 101 things to do in 1001 days, Dave praised the fact that there were very few “gimmies” on the list, but suggested that #82 (go to bed every night for a week with all the dishes cleaned) would be an easy one to knock off the list. And, […] →Read more
In the mountain of email that was waiting for me upon my return to work after three weeks of holidays, there was an email about the The Great British Columbia Shake Out. What is a “Shake Out,” you ask? Only the biggest earthquake drill in the history of Canada! BC is a hot spot for […] →Read more
So I’m teaching a new course at the Justice Institute starting today – a online statistics course! Clearly, hanging out with Dr. Dan, statistician extraordinaire, has rubbed off on me. Also, almost everyone I’ve told that I’m going to be teaching at the Justice Institute has said, “The Justice League?” I wonder if I can get […] →Read more

I totally should have posted this at 11:11:11 a.m. , but I was too busy preparing to go jump into the freezing cold ocean. So I’m posting it at 11:11:11 p.m. instead, because that is the way I roll. 2011 promises to be a year full of numbery goodness. Exciting numbery days this year will […] →Read more
So one of the things on my 101 things to do in 1001 days list was to do the Polar Bear Swim. For the uninitiated, The Polar Bear Swim is where you go for a chilly swim in the ocean (or a lake or some other outdoor body of water) on New Year’s Day ((I […] →Read more
The last time I was in Ottawa, Sarah and Dave’s attempt to bring me to the Diefenbunker was thwarted by holiday closure of said bunker. On this trip, to make it up to me, Ottawa gave Sarah & me free admission! More specifically, the Ottawa Public Library offered free admission and Sarah, a regular at […] →Read more
