Santa’s Revenge
Big gingerbread house competition at work today. We knew we couldn’t compete with the fancy decorating, so went in a different direction.
Oh, the humanity!!Hockey Travels
Robyn and I are on the second leg of our hockey weekend. Yesterday was Swift Current. This morning we headed southeast to Glentworth Sk to face the Wood River Whirling Dervishes (at least I thin that’s there name.)
It was a great drive. We saw a coyote and several deer, including a large buck. The remoteness was fascinating and overwhelming. I’d have a lot of trouble adjusting to living 100km+ from the nearest grocery store. I stopped for some pics halfway along the 170km drive from Swift Current.
Even Subway needs McD’s now and then

Learning math while ignoring your math teacher. Love it.

Vi Hart puts math in order by ignoring his teacher and doodling. From Cory Doctorow:
Vi Hart’s “Mathematical Doodling” is a series of hilarious and informative narrated videos explaining doodle-games that you can play to explain mathematical concepts in a way that’s much more intuitive than the traditional math-class methodologies. [Here] is binary trees, but be sure and click through to “Snakes + Graphs” — a wonderful, captivating potted graph theory explanation.
Candygrams might consider some of the October themes for next year.
Trailer for “Being Geek”
One of my favorite blogs is Rands in Repose (it’s a must read, people!) Michael just wrote a book called Being Geek: the Software Developer’s Career Handbook and the trailer is awesome.
The performance review scene is dedicated to my friend Melvis.

Dan Pink on making the workplace richer in feedback
I read a good post from Dan Pink about the workplace is a desert when it comes to feedback. Well worth reading the full article (here: http://bit.ly/eaUVI7 ). Not dissing the level of feedback at SaskTel; we have several programs like he recommends, but it’s a good reminder.
Dan’s article reminds me of two cool TED videos on gaming culture and how feedback from games can be used for good. There’s a connection here, I can feel it!
