This is my first attempt at writing my thoughts while doing a play-through of an album. Colors by House of Heroes easily sits in my top 10 favourite albums (though I still need to write that listicle).

If we’ve talked in person, I’ve probably mentioned the No Agenda Show. With it’s unique blend of humour, news, food and media recommendations, and political commentary, all packaged up in one of the best forms of media, it really is the perfect show.

The interesting thing about vinyl is it forces you to pay more attention to the music: it’s a more active listening experience. 

INKS. is my current go-to casual iOS game. It takes the idea of pinball to a very interesting, artistic level.

The top 5 reasons why I live in Edmonton, because my sister was wondering why I don’t move “back home”. 

When I was younger, I remember asking (maybe not out loud, but at least introspectively) who was the best team at the Olympic Games. Of course, the Olympics is supposed to be more of a feel-good, everyone-wins-something kind of event, and doesn’t have a true structure for an actual winner, but we subconsciously want that. Every sports page in the newspaper and online seems to show the top three nations, along with Canada, sorted by their total medal count, and we seem to be happy with that. But what about the fact that the several nations have over 100 athletes while many nations have less than 10% of that?
