The story of Mark Horvath

I met Mark during his visit to Saskatoon last summer but have been a fan of his work online for sometime.  Here is his story and a trailer for a movie about his work. Showing how you can change the world via Twitter and YouTube.  You can find more about what Mark is doing at [...]

Life on 20th?

Some arts rapping about how they see life in Riversdale and the urban core.

Botfly

In case you are a bit squeamish this video isn’t for you.  It’s what happens when botflies bite you and lay their eggs in you.  Thank goodness they don’t live this far north.

Welcome to the Kobe System

This is the video where Kobe sells out his self respect.  Expect an appearance as Triple H’s tag team partner on WWE to come in the next year or two.

The Star Wars Holiday Special

No wonder why George Lucas wanted it destroyed.

Extreme Table Tennis Shots

I don’t play (well) but you don’t have to appreciate how awesome of these shots are.

Success stories from the Calgary Homeless Foundation

You can read more about the Calgary Homeless Foundation does on their website. The same success can be repeated in Saskatoon if we get serious about homelessness here.

Natalie Warne – Anonymous Extraordinaries

Amazing video from TEDxYouth about the potential of young activists to change the world. Born in an underserved part of downtown Chicago, Natalie and her five siblings had to survive on her mother’s humble teacher salary, moving from city to city to find work. No stranger to adversity, Natalie was determined to make something great [...]

Monday Morning

It’s my regular Monday morning post but this time via video.  Since I mentioned the weekend at the cabin, here is the link.

Wendy writes about our weekend on the cabin weblog.  It was a weekend of good books, Chuck E. Cheese, some lacrosse, coffee, and a dog that wouldn’t get out of the bed and a son that wouldn’t stop trying to get back in.  Oh right, this happened. As you can see, it was going good and [...]

Running of the Bull

I don’t know about you but I like this new Adidas commercial with Derrick Rose.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper comes to town

It’s worth watching just to see the cheesy introduction and the fact that he isn’t sure if his own MPs are there are not.   He does assure us that they are doing a great job in the region.

Trade your car for a lifetime transit pass?

The city of Murcia, Spain recently opened a new streetcar system, and is offering lifetime passes to the trolley for anyone who gives up their car for good.  Would any of you be willing to do the same thing?

The Rocky Mountaineer

A couple of months ago I was looking around online for a trip to take Wendy on our anniversary.  After checking out VIA Rail (train comes through Saskatoon at midnight and goes through Edmonton and Jasper, not Banff), I saw something about The Rocky Mountaineer and spent hours checking out their website and looking at [...]

What happened to Flight 447?

This isn’t exactly breaking news, PBS covered this last year but it’s amazing that simple $2500 pitot brought down one of the safest airliners on the market.  Here is how the New York Time’s magazine explains the crash and disappearance of Flight 447. In the last four minutes before the crash, the airplane sent a [...]
