The Unknown Studio

Welcome to another “Hitting the Links,” fellow Internauts.

I will be spending the next week firmly entrenched in my various Edmonton International Fringe Festival projects. You should check out both the stage play I’m in, as well as the nightly improv show.

The improvisational comedy show in particular might be up your alley.

But before I delve deeply into the world of theatre for the next week, I leave you with 18 Internet holes of glory for you to poke your business into. Uh…

This week’s batch of the bizarre includes a police force being laid off, thinking machines, real-life costumed crime fighters, undead squids and a town-for-sale.

It turns out it’s HARD keeping to a regular schedule sometimes.

Specifically, I really do intend for the Hitting the Links feature to go up every Saturday. But the fact is I’m busy and it’s just been difficult. So I apologize for not getting one up last week.

But fear not, faithful Internauts, for we’re back, and we’ve got plenty of strangeness from all corners of the web for you to peruse.

This week’s links include dogs versus sharks, the navy versus aliens, cars versus gravity, space stations versus the ocean, and Chinese parents versus common sense. Huh… lots of conflict there.

Lets hit the links!

It’s Saturday, and that means its time for another stroll through the fairways of the digital world.

Earlier this week, local Internet Mack Male wrote about link roundup posts, and I’m happy to say that Hitting the Links made the cut for a mention. He also spoke about how he enjoys these little roundups, even though they don’t generate many comments.

So I wonder… who out there is wandering through my 18 weekly Internet holes? Care to comment? Make yourselves known, Internauts! Let’s explore together!

As always, I take 18 of the links I’ve tweeted and compile them for you.

This week’s links from the depths of the internet include fish using tools, a Lizard Man, giant space rocks, and a motherfucking BATMOBILE… among other Batman related fun.

And we’re back, friendly Internauts.

Yes, the Canada Day long weekend didn’t have a Hitting the Links. Let’s be honest, though – you were out getting drunk and watching fireworks, so you really didn’t have time to scan over the week in strange links, did you?

I considered a belated segment, but decided not to bother.

So, we take 18 of the links I’ve tweeted and compile them in a handy list.

This week’s online strangeness includes immortality, Angry Birds the movie, and Charlie Sheen.

Welcome, Internauts, to another a week of strangeness around the World-Wide Web.

As always, I take 18 of the links I’ve tweeted and compile them into a list for ease of perusal.

The links included are on a variety of nonsense topics, from science, to movies, to games, to the bizarre. This week’s fun includes a urinal based gaming console, zombies overrunning a city council meeting, and self-driving cars.

Got your clubs? Good! Lets hit the links.

As anyone who listens to the show regularly knows, back at the end of March, I started on a weight-loss journey because I was tired of being out of breath whenever I went up a flight of stairs. I enlisted the help of personal fitness trainer Carrie Robinson from Prime Fitness Studios (right by the Sherwood Park Freeway. Check out their Facebook page) .

When Carrie first saw me on March 21, I think she was worried. She knew I was out of shape (it was very plain to see), but when she actually did my assessments, the numbers were… well, not good. And while I’m not really close to where I want to be, I’ve made significant progress. I was re-assessed this morning, and thought I’d share the numbers with you. Read the rest of this entry »
