The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
In honour of today being the first day of school1, I decided to share with you some education-related podcasts I’ve listened to/watched lately. First, up from the Philosophy Bites podcast, I give you M.M. McCabe talking about the Socratic Method. The Socratic Method is: a form of philosophical inquiry in which the questioner explores the […] →Read more
My dad has a blog. And he even used “LOL.” This, from a man who used a Commodore 64 up until 2004, is pretty frickin’ amazing. My favourite Twitterer is Angry Rock. Angry Rock is, as her name suggests, an angry rock. An angry rock who tells you that she will smash you. Smash you […] →Read more
So, yesterday I decided to go on a little 10 km run. Just me and my friend Alicia. And a couple thousand other people. Here we are in our swanky race shirts. Nike made the brilliant marketing decision to put everyone’s number on their running shirt – instead of the usual practice of giving you […] →Read more

The […] →Read more
Today on the bus, a guy tapped me on the shoulder1 and said, “You know what would clear that knee up? Turmeric. You know, the spice?” Um, ok. I actually thought my knee was healing quite nicely. And really, what would help it clear up is refraining from picking at the scab2. 1I was listening […] →Read more
My hockey team had a year-end pool party this past weekend, commemorating our championship, Vegas tournament, trip to provincials in Kelowna and all around hockey good times. The party was held at team captain Karen’s parents place – they have the super awesomest backyard ever, complete with pool1, hot tub, and multiple BBQs. We were […] →Read more
