We had a big snow in Edmonton this week and I was just checking in on the names of the snow plows this year. I notice there’s Buzz Iceclear and a new Edward Blizzardhands this year… 😂

Some of you may know that I'm a huge Kingdom Hearts nerd.

Some of you may also know that I used to operate the largest KH fansite circa 2003 (and still own the domain).

Well, a couple years ago someone contacted me about it and asked to interview me. I grabbed some friends from the good ol' […]

Letting your cat outside might seem like harmless fun and good exercise for the animal, but it actually poses a serious risk to wildlife.

Cats kill an estimated 2.5 billion birds every year, making them one of the leading causes of bird mortality. But it’s not just birds. Cats also prey on […]

If you like your Mastodon server and want it to stick around, you should consider donating some money to it, if you can.
