Curated Curiousities

A little curated list of things I've found about-town. By which I mean, on-line. Interesting things just pile up and pile up in my browsers. Here are some of them.


  1. This kid's perspective on Maroon 5's big hit "Moves Like Jagger" cracks me up.
  2. This is like pinterest for recipes. It's very, very dangerous. (Vanessa, you'll love it.)
  3. I recently decided to start exchanging postcards with strangers around the world. You may enjoy doing the same.
  4. Did you know that the "City of London" is not the same as the city named London? A fascinating and informational short video.

     5.  Needs no introduction. (via A Softer World)

   
    6. This amazing art from Marc Johns continually amuses me. There should be laws like this.



    7. I'd hate to make this gaffe, but I do wish jobs would land in my lap...

    8. Related: I feel like this Wondermark comic.
nothing but broken promises.

    You were right. Addicting. It keeps going. And going. And going.
    Also I want to sign up for the postcard thingy but not sure if I can/if it's worth it when mail is so unpredictable here! I might 'til we get back to Canada.

    I hadn't heard of this Marc Johns character before - i'll be following him mas. Funny to see the chicago bean in that cartoon. Last week I wouldn't have recognized it but today it is a part of my past ;) Oh, and I tried post-crossing for a bit but ended up kinda disappointed after I was always sending way more cards than I was receiving. I'll be interested to hear how your experience goes.

The ROM, The Earth & Procreation

Disclaimer: This post is intended to generate discussion and a sharing of many opinions. It is NOT intended to judge or condemn anyone's life choices. I had an unexpected moment at the ROM last month. C and I were listening to a presentation for kids on wildlife conservation (or rather, I was listening, and C was eagerly anticipating what live animal would come out next), when a statement caught my attention and still hasn't let go. For most of history, the earth could provide enough resources for the earth's human population. But today, our population is growing rapidly, increasing by 250 000 people every day... Forty years from now, it will require 2 Earths to provide sustainably for our survival as a human species. But we only have 1 Earth. 250 000 people. Every day. That is roughly twice the size of my hometown. In one day. So I did a little math. (First, I rounded down to 200 000, just in case the figures were inflated or failed to account for some sort o...

Women And Our Ways: Intro

Last summer, I started writing a blog entry that I never finished. There are several like that, actually. This particular one starts out: If you are male, you probably don't want to read this entry. I mean it. If you were grossed out by my entry on placenta lasagna , didn't understand the problematic tea commercial , or were surprised by my thoughts on the curse of Aunt Irma , this one is bigger, badder, and more bold. I'm going for broke. I've been meaning to write this girls-only series ever since. But then I realized that I want to write a series that may frighten or surprise men, but is not meant to exclude them. Then I thought that maybe I don't want to do that, as it will stir up controversy and I will be misunderstood and I will unintentionally offend both men and women and I will write about things that don't often get talked about. But I think I'm willing to risk it. Titles in the series Women and Our Ways may include: The Mo...

Sunday Starters

I'm not sure if I'm going to keep up with a different 'theme' for blogging every day. Sometimes I like it, and sometimes I hate it. But what I do know is that Sundays are no longer Fundays. (well, in reality, I'm sure they still will be). Instead, I want to do this: I start a sentence, and we all fill it in. However we want. There is only one rule: You have to play the game too. Example: Happiness is... ...a warm puppy ...time with my family ...a myth ...knowing that in the end, he/she's got my back. ...impossible to pin down. This week's starter: When I was six, I thought...
