One video that you should never watch

Once before I presented you with a video that I said you should never, ever watch.  While the video below isn’t nearly as graphic as that one, it does make you want to harikiri yourself.  So really, just don’t watch it. You’ve been warned. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmIObmv2t6M] My favourite line is “we’ll live out our core values.” →Read more

Brain Cells

I already have a stuffed cold virus, a stuffed flu virus and a stuffed Ebola virus. But when I was in the airport waiting for my flight from San Francisco on Sunday, I discovered that they now make stuffed brain cells! So cute. →Read more

Seat Guru – Infant Not Included

While waiting for *4 hours*1 for my flight home from SFO yesterday, during which I was (a) Twittering with another BlogHer attendee who was also stuck at SFO, (b) talking on Skype, and (c) being looked at like I was crazy because I was talking loudly to my computer, I was also checking out whether […] →Read more

A while ago I Twittered this plea: Does anyone know of anywhere that I can get Moo-sized cards that aren’t from Moo? I want some, but need to get them in less than 27 weeks. I recalled a number of people complaining that the Moo cards they ordered for Northern Voice or SXSW took forever […] →Read more

I’m away from Vancouver on vacation for one day…
