Blog Action Day 2008 - Fight Against Poverty

October 15, 2008 – 12:00 am

Knowing that today is Blog Action Day, I have tried to come up with a topic to post about. I know that this years topic is Poverty, but I struggled when I tried to narrow down what to actually post about.
There is poverty everywhere. Africa is rife with poverty, but all you really have to [...]

NFL Week 7 Thoughts and Predictions

October 14, 2008 – 1:00 pm

Well, I did terribly last week at 5-9 (45-43 on the season). With all the ups and downs, it has been really hard to try to be consistent picking games. The only givens so far are the hapless Lions at 0-5, and Cincinnati, since they are 0-6, but even they have the talent (offensively at [...]

NFL Week 6 Thoughts and Predictions

October 7, 2008 – 10:40 am

Well, I was .500 on the week at 7-7 (40-34 on the season). This season has taught me one thing, and that is that nothing is perfect. Look at the AFC, the Colts, Chargers, and Patriots are 7-6, while the Bills, Titans, and Broncos are 13-2. A little bit backwards if you ask me! I [...]

NFL Week 5 Thoughts and Predictions

September 30, 2008 – 1:17 am

Well, I was just over .500 on the week at 7-6 (33-27 on the season). I am looking forward to this week, especially to see how the teams that were off last week handle their time off. Will they make the most of it, and come out swinging, or will they fall flat on their [...]

NFL Week 4 Thoughts and Predictions

September 22, 2008 – 10:12 pm

Well, I put one right down the middle (unlike a few kickers last week), going 8-8 (26-21 on the season), and was stunned to see that the uproar over Ed Hochuli’s botched call still carrying on. The man made a mistake, let’s move on. I was also quite surprised to see several upsets (none bigger [...]

NFL Week 3 Thoughts and Predictions

September 16, 2008 – 12:48 am

Well, I did a lot better last week than I did in Week 1, going 12-3 (18-13 on the season), and was excited to see several close games, and even a few that came down to the final play (as controversial as they may have been), but what’s done is done, and can’t be undone.
Now [...]

NFL Week 2 Thoughts and Predictions

September 9, 2008 – 9:46 am

I was an abysmal 6-10 in Week One, due to a few risks, and some upsets, but that is fine, the first few weeks are the hardest to pick.
My thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery go out to the players who were injured and their families.
So, without further ado, here they are. Week Two’s [...]

NFL Week 1 Thoughts and Predictions

September 3, 2008 – 10:26 pm

Finally, The NFL regular season is here, and I couldn’t be more excited. I hate the preseason, and wish it was cut down to a maximum of 2 games (especially since a preseason ticket is typically the same price as a regular season ticket).
I will post my predictions each week (typically before noon) on Tuesday. [...]

Is Saskatoon the next tech mecca?

July 12, 2008 – 8:03 pm

When I moved to Saskatoon in 2004, I was newly married, and just starting to embrace my inner geek. Since I couldn’t legally work anywhere but the church I was serving at part time, I had a lot of free time on my hands, and decided to do something productive once my lessons were done. [...]

Luckily, I got my beta invitation yesterday, and was pleasantly surprised. OK, so i was shocked, because this was my first beta invite for a service that was getting so [...]
