Gratitude - 06/05/2009
Today, I am grateful for these things:
1. The Escapist. If you’re not interested in video games or video game culture, or if you are interested in it but struggle with the overwhelming geekiness of it all, this site is probably not for you. If, however, you can happily wallow in your own nerddom, there’s a lot to enjoy on this site. Zero Punctuation and Unskippable are definite highlights.
2. Gord Downie on CBC Q. The May 11 episode features a lengthy interview with the frontman for The Tragically Hip, one of the best Canadian bands ever. The interview is a fascinating look into the mind of the poet and performer.
3. Uncle Jay Explains the News. More than Fox, CNN, or even BBC, I look to Uncle Jay to make sense of the events in the world around us. And then to mock them.
