A while ago, I wrote a post entitled What Makes Someone Sexy? Evidently, ParentsConnect, part of the big brand of Nickelodeon, liked some of the content because they’ve featured me as one of their Top Sexy Mamas. (Note to self: To feel more sexy as I write this post, I should likely change out of […]
Clay Morgan
An Obituary for EduClaytion
EduClaytion, the blog of my good friend Clay Morgan, is dead. Here is the obituary. After three years and over 400 posts, eduClaytion has been laid to rest. Best known for his quirky musings, eduClaytion charmed the world like a zombie-hunting Flynn Rider. Many will remember his ridiculous videos of the most mediocre quality available. […]
Thing 1 and Thing 2: Special Op
While the original bad-hair-day Thing 1 and Thing 2 are traipsing over Europe (Switzerland, England, and soon The Netherlands), a special op pair recently landed in Pittsburgh to visit my buddy, Clay Morgan. They had some adventures with Clay, let me tell you, including teaching college, going on a road trip through Kentucky and on […]
Update: How To Search-Bomb Your Friends
The best laid plans of search-bombers often go awry. Update 1 Earlier today, after search-bombing most of you who left comments on Friday’s post, Search-Bombing: An Irresistible April Fool’s Blogging Tradition, I learned that my searchbombs were not going through. After some investigation (and manic tweeting with the fabulous Chad Jones), I realized that Google […]
Search-Bombing: An Irresistible April Fool's Blogging Tradition
It started one year ago. It was the first mischievous project that Clay Morgan (a.k.a. Mr. Educlaytion of March Movie Madness fame) and I undertook together. We named it SearchBombing, and we want to do it again. Here is the post and video we put together last year. Read it, leave a comment, then go […]

Now Atticus needs your help to make it to the final two of this Best Movie Hero competition. Atticus is up against some stiff competition, […]
Why Atticus Finch Is Better Than Han Solo
UPDATE: Atticus advanced to the Elite Eight. I won’t be doing any more full posts on voting for him, but I will do “bottom links.” Thanks for voting and for bearing with me. The good news: Y’all rock. Atticus beat out Belle (Beauty and the Beast) to advance to the Sweet Sixteen of Clay Morgan’s March […]
Atticus Finch: A Hero for the Ages, including the Zombie Apocalypse
UPDATE: Atticus won! He moves to the next round…against Han Solo. More on that soon. I’m in a contest. My buddy, Clay Morgan, is hosting his second-annual Movie March Madness (known on Twitter as #mmm2) and I’m in it. The best movie heroes of all time are battling it out in an NCAA-style tournament. Atticus […]
The Story of my Avatar: A Contest
In honour of my 300th post, I thought I’d share the story of my avatar. This photo was taken by Tim Reisdorf, a close family friend, on a cool November day in 2008. I had flown home to Winnipeg for two days – a rare weekend away by myself – to attend Lefse Bootcamp for […]
Smack Talk and Tweet-Off and Hockey, Oh My
Well, it happened. On Saturday I lost something very precious, the friendly wager I had with Clay Morgan, Mr. Pittsburgh himself. His Pens played good hockey for 60 minutes; my Flames managed only 30 minutes of respectable play. I’ll let our tweets tell the story. The Pre-Game Show First Period (Strong Start for Flames) Second […]
