@saskboy I think the news story is the PERFECT example of why helping the homeless is generally a waste of good will and effort.— Adrian MacNair (@unambig) December 03, 2012 Using Adrian’s generalization logic, since he’s a climate change denier every time people try to help him learn with evidence,

Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: San Diego’s Big Bay Bust
I’ve witnessed two big American 4th of July fireworks shows, in New York ’02 and San Diego ’10. The San Diego show two years ago lasted at least 20 minutes, and we watched it from a hill near PB. While there we also heard people talk about ice blocking down

It’s been a year of marriage, and I don’t want the honeymoon to end. == It’s that time of year when the weather gets hot, and the blogging gets slow. Where is everyone? Where’ve I gone? I hope someone is looking after the ‘shop.

Last week there was an impressive tornado south west of Moose Jaw. Here’s one of the more popular videos of it, brought to you by Saskatoon Scanner who I know going back to the early YouTube days. – A little bolt lightning, but mostly sheet lightning illuminating the clouds sweeping

The “Fight for Canada”, did not happen in 1812, since Canada did not exist as a nation for decades later in 1867. The Department of “Canadian Heritage” ought to be ashamed of its atrocious rewriting and dumbing down of Canadian history by calling the War of 1812 a fight for

“Good Luck Chuck” [3/10] was on Netflix, and it’s every bit as uncomfortable as the critics said it was. It’s a mean spirited Hollywood vehicle to show a lot of topless women to actor and comedian Dane Cook. If you like a movie with a lot of boobs, and tortured

“Mixed Nuts” [6/10] was on after Scrooged, so I tried watching it. I also finished watching “Taken for a Ride” [9/10] which is a documentary explaining how GM destroyed public transportation systems.

Our clever Grinch of a Prime Minister gets a lyrical beating here. (If Harper is the Grinch, who is the little dog?)

The last week has been super-interesting politically speaking in Regina. Not only is there an election campaign underway, but Occupy Regina challenged bylaws and to this point has won us back our Charter rights to assemble peacefully in dissent of the government. While people in the “first world” work out how best to peacefully gain […]

What Canadians Need to Know About Canada Canada is a country the world can be proud of. This is despite our numerous shortcomings and mistakes over our 144 years of history as a nation of many co-operative nations. Not everyone in the world is impressed with Canada, some because they don’t know the first thing […]

Cross-posted to Computationally Thinking This is the time of year when we all make a little effort to send a gift to our family and close friends. Other friends get maybe card and no gift and that’s fine too, we aren’t all made of money and getting good gift for people we know really well […]

Good morning faithful readers! It must be a good morning, because I’m back from holidays! After spending a week on the east coast of our beautiful country (no I didn’t see the Prime Minister on his east coast tour), it’s good to be back!
Alas, as exci…
