Background: I had posted this link on Facebook. My thoughts right or wrong on the removal of urban address delivery (note I do not say house delivery) was in response to a very uninsightful and hurtful comment and also I might add indignantly urban aimed comment from Government House leader Peter Van Loanwho stated: “I am reminded of a time

That old time of year is fast approaching. The nutty holiday season. Hanuka, Christmas, Kwanza and of course Festivus. I thought I might share some seasonal ideas for those techies in your life. Not all of these are tech related, other than they have that cool factor as defined by those who love all things with ones and zeros. DIY

When I had to do research in high school in the 80s, I was reliant on dated encyclopedias and other research materials which was at best 10 years old, and at most, woefully under performing and useless. Skipping forward to university, I was able to do a little better with the use of the NovaNet which linked libraries on the

In my youth I was enthralled with the ability to take my music remotely – more than the portable tape recorders of my older siblings. I enthralled in the walking, bilking and just plain hanging out ability to listen to my cassettes.

Recently while grocery shopping I noticed a new product which might help me keep my stainless appliances up to par. Wipes, regular clothes and other solutions are a pain as anyone who bought a stainless appliance will attest to (why did they stop making black or even avacado green?). This product was from Scotch Brite. What did catch my eye

I recently watched a documentary on the photographer Gregory Crewdson. I hesitate to call him a photographer. His is more artist than mere cataloger of a moment. His migration from earlier works to now sound stage set ups or in-situ panoramas that are planned, stages, lit, directed and executed much like a movie set, but of course the result is

Well this was quite the day with revelations all around with respect to the Senate scandal. The main thing is that truth never varies this be the Duffy status. Lies do. That be the the PMO’s status (Nigel Wright had from the lips of Stephen Harper, until today, had resigned. Now I hear that He was according to the lips
