Halifax Metro Centre – Welcome to the 1980s

Sitting about 3 rows up from the main floor, our row was roughly 25 rows from the top. As the concert got underway, many – including ourselves – pulled

Facebook Mobile Platform Growth

The rise of smartphones and adoption by consumers is one, which has been extremely quick. Television took 30 years to reach main penetration of households. The web and desktop computer (which are hand- in hand in terms of household uptake) took around 10 years. Smartphones? Something like three years or so.

Expanding the textureweb Universe

  I have a lot of things that I would like to comment and blog about, but sometimes it is just not worthy of  an article. Hence I have launched a Facebook page where I will post those items rather then keep them as a link in my desktop where they inevitably get sent to the trash. I also want

Canada Post – Show Me the Real Numbers

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

Keep Me Waiting and I Will Leave

I tied to think up a great blog but in the end I was defeated. My laser mouse was all over the place. WTF i said to myself. Oh it might have been easier if  I did to have so much in my mind with the job search but there it stands. I have had major hurdles both with my

Visuals are All

As I have mentioned in previous posts, I am not at present able to upload any media. To me part of what I want and need to tell in my storytelling must include graphics. This has led me to not posting. It also has led me to a realiszation about the importance of this blog to me. I am unsure

Falling Behind. Draper Style.

I’m a big fan of the AMC series Mad Men. One thing that I draws me to it is the setting. The details and fashion are very well researched.
