My son Aidan turns 8 years old today, which has happened much too fast. Happy birthday, trouble.

This seems like an appropriate post for the National Day of Prayer. This is the song that introduced me to The Bastard Fairies, and it’s still one of my favourites. If you like this song, and you’re cheap like me, you can download 12 songs from Memento Mori, their debut album, from here.

Persistence

My friend Aidan is travelling through India, and has set up a blog to record his experiences. He happens to be a fantastic photographer (see below, and check out his site for more examples), and has included some great shots from his travels in his posts.

His entries are descriptive and thoughtful, and there’s a real sense of the people and places he’s seen in everything he writes. Check it out.

Bustaraunt a move

Check out this cool bustaraunt. That’s right: a restaurant in a double decker bus. They don’t serve bacon, so I’d never eat there, but cool nonetheless.

Instapaper is a perfect little web app that allows you to create your own reading list by adding a “Read Later” button to your bookmarks bar.

Fuck! I wish I was doing that.

Gorrila Artfare is a beautiful new collaborative site from an outrageously talented group of illustrators and artists. For me, it’s one part inspiration to two parts insane jealousy.

Don’t forget…

An important message from James Kochalka Superstar on the importance of hygiene in romantic relationships.

I just thought you should know that richardsmallbone.com is the number one search result for “diarrhea madness” on Google. You may now return to enjoying this festive season.

But each new car comes with a case of maple syrup

Canadians are getting screwed once again. This time it’s in the form of outrageously overpriced cars.

iTunes TV shows could be coming to Canada, like, today.
