  • You should be able to use TMs during Pokemon Go Community Days

    I have never posted about Pokemon Go on here before, and it’s possible once I start, I’ll just never stop. However, what happened this morning hits in just the right way to scratch all my itches, and that’s what this website is about. I posted the following on Reddit last night, and for reasons I…

  • COVID Alert is now publicly available! [Links]

    You can download the COVID Alert exposure notification app in Canada now! It’s available on the iOS App Store as well as the Google Play Store. See more details of how it works and what it looks like in my older post when I started using the beta:

  • Here’s What Canada’s ‘COVID Alert’ app (beta) Looks Like

    [UPDATE – July 31]: The app is now publicly available. Go get it! On Wednesday, Health Canada finally released a beta (test) version of the Canadian ‘COVID Alert’ exposure notification app. I have been waiting for a couple of months to finally be able to get this set up once Apple and Google announced they…

  • Let’s walk through the opening sequence from Austin Powers 3

  • The making of the Seinfeld intro

    I had no idea this is how the Seinfeld theme was made. From the custom keyboard sounds, both with bass and mouth sounds, to the playing along with the intro differently depending on the cadence of each joke. I guess I have to rewatch Seinfeld again now! Bonus points in my mind go to Forgetting…

  • Spider-Verse: My Favourite Movie of the Last Decade

    Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is what I’m calling my new favourite movie since Forgetting Sarah Marshall [2008] (and they’re so different, don’t even bother making me rank them). I’ve spent a lot of time talking with my friends about how much I love this movie, and so far nobody I’ve met in real life has…

  • ‘Drop the Soap’ Jokes are SO Weird

    This time, the subject is the treatment of males who are sexually assaulted, and their portrayal in pop culture. It is truly unbelievable how pervasive this ‘joke’ trope is, and to me it is equally bizarre how this trope persists even today.

  • Football is Killing its Players

    For the last few years, as evidence has been mounting about brain injuries befalling NFL players, I’ve found it really hard to separate the violent aspects of football I tolerated from the jaw-dropping highlights and strategy I enjoy so much.

  • Climate change is not just real, it’s obvious

    Vox has posted this before, but it was updated recently with new clips to bring it to the present. It highlights the partisan shift regarding climate change in American politics, from acknowledging that climate change is real, to Republicans realizing the best (only?) way to actually fight climate change effectively from an economic perspective is…
