View Article  Pace in the Pit
At the risk of turning this blog into Cute Overload, here's another Pace-related clip. 

There's an indoor playground in Regina called "It's A Blast" (think a typical McDonald's playground but, uh, super-sized) that's apparently the largest of its kind in western Canada.  We'd known about it for awhile but thought he'd be too small for it.  Nope, turns out that not only does he enjoy the toddler area (see below), he also *loves* the giant structure for bigger kids (as long as mommy and daddy are with him which we are since adults are allowed on the thing too!  Or at least nobody told us to get off.)  Shea's got the day's adventure fully documented (plus lots of other recent photos) on Flickr.

Oh, and the best part?  Their pricing structure starts at 1 year olds.  So Pace, who is 11 1/2 months got in for free!  (Parents don't have to pay either so we got to use their business for free all afternoon.  What do they think they are - a library? )

Quinn's friend, Brad Fidler, happens to be at the UCLA where, in 1969, the first message was transmitted across what we now know as the Internet. 

He's made a video about his quest to find the actual site where the message was sent from and put it online:

View Article  Flickr Adds Video Clips
Flickr has added the option to upload short video clips.  They've got some major differences from other video sites and appear to be treating the videos mostly as a way to complement your photos for the time being. 

The goal is not to have people upload long videos or clips of copyrighted material. To reinforce that, videos can be only 90 seconds in length and 150MB in size.

A Flickr group has been set-up to showcase some of the videos being uploaded.

Here's a sample (and no, that's not him farting at the 15 second mark!)...

View Article  "Sliver" - Nirvana (and some thoughts on the downside of attachment parenting)
I heard "Sliver" by Nirvana on the Regina community radio station this morning and it made me think of Pace's current trick. 

He now understands that Shea sometimes leaves the room or isn't in his line of sight.  He still doesn't understand that she always come back.  So as soon as it happens, he FREAKS OUT! 

It's to the point that the other day, I felt obligated to tell Shea, "just so you know, I don't start beating him as soon as you leave the room" when she popped out to the kitchen to get a drink. 


(Man, I hope this is a phase and that it passes quickly!)

My web site dedicated to four great Canadian singer-songwriters (but currently only featuring guitar tab for two of them - Fred Eaglesmith and Hawksley Workman.)
