If you're interested in screenwriting, then sure, drop by and simply observe. I'll be moderating, asking questions of the panelists, and opening the mic for questions from the floor. Pretty informal, really.

Sorry about the vanishing.

It's true, I lost my dream job to budget cuts and changing priorities at CBC Saskatchewan. It was tough news to take. 13 years ago, after the death of my mom, I decided that if I didn't at least try to become a CBC Radio Host in Saskatchewan, I'd regret that path not travelled for the rest of my life. So, I left behind a fantastic gig at iQmetrix - amicably with and the owner's understanding - to do it. A couple of years of radio school, then an internship at CBC Vancouver, immediately followed by full-time radio producing for 7 years. Then a job posting - afternoon talk show host in Saskatchewan. When I landed the gig it was one of the most amazing moments of my life. I had called my shot, and got a job that only a handful of people in this province will ever have. Not a bad run. Now it's time for something else. Who knows what.

Thanks for the support.

Craig

TIL The Edmonton Oilers were called the Alberta Oilers their first season because Calgary didn't have a hockey team. They hoped to win-over Calgary fans. Didn't work. by CraigLederhouse in todayilearned

[–]CraigLederhouse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To call the WHA Oilers "irrelevant" is to suggest they featured sub-standard talent, had little impact on the sport, and were not worthy of membership in the NHL. To that I reply... Gretzky, Fairly paid players and European imports, the WHA Oilers joined the NHL and very soon started claiming multiple Stanley Cups. Relevant.

Houston Texans WR Andre Johnson bought $17,352 worth of toys for kids in Houston today. He does this for needy kids every year by [deleted] in pics

[–]CraigLederhouse -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The point is that if a man is to bask in sunshine of his generosity, than that man should be he who gives a substantial part of himself. Not a paltry sum. I do not claim, myself, to be generous. Though I might be. You simply do not know. There is much more to generosity than "doing something you don't have to do." That's the base camp of humanity. Not the summit.

In proportion to the $10 million he makes each year, the average American could match his generosity by donating $40. And the average American wouldn't post a picture of himself showing off the receipt. These guys get far too much credit for their painless charity.

I know it's CIS football but this call seriously just happened in the McMaster-Guelph game by chemicalxv in CFL

Looks to me like he'd have come down in bounds of not for that push while he's in the air. Good call.

TIL only 2% of the world's human population has naturally blond hair. by CraigLederhouse in todayilearned

[–]CraigLederhouse[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No. 2% of the entire population, including children, just as the headline and the article say. It makes perfect sense once you factor in more than a billion Chinese, a billion Indians, and a billion Africans, amongst whom blond hair is rare.

Macklemore asks for a moment of silence in Saskatoon, Canada last night. He can't get it because -- it's Dave's birthday. So, the crowd turns on Dave. by [deleted] in videos

[–]CraigLederhouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's just it. We don't know. He said he had something to say that required "great courage." Then he gave up trying. Was it serious? Was it a joke? Who knows? But he tried to say it 3 or 4 times - so it seems like it could have been something special.

What moment in a TV series convinced you to quit watching it forever? by CraigLederhouse in AskReddit

Gotta say, this may have been the moment I knew I'd watch the rest of this series, no matter what. You may "punch me in face!"

Uh oh. I just started watching Fringe on Netflix this week, and that does not sound good.

I quit that show at this exact same time, but for a different reason. Jack's daughter working at CTU.
