Radio continues to be part of our daily lives. It is ubiquitous in our travels to work, the background in our kitchens and offices. My main reason for doing this post is that I want to rediscover radio for you, but also how I have rediscovered it myself. When I was in high school there was a station that promised

My wife and I looked forward to a great concert on the weekend. City & Colour (Dallas Green) was in town and we caught the show at the Halifax Metro Centre. 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

It has been a very hectic period in my work life in the past four weeks, hence my lack of posts. I have been lately thinking about the need to provide more posts or updates, but this of course just gets me frustrated about not having the time to do so. Much of my free time has been taken up

The power of Photoshop is without question the most important thing that is out there these days when it comes to impressions. I know we all are a bit wary about the photos of models and how they do not really represent reality due to much photo manipulation with software. This phto manipulation has become a noun of “photoshop’. Lets

For me there was no distinction between geeks and nerds in the 80s. We were all the same. Though I tried to fit with the football team and get that most sought after locker in jock hall by being the the statistician for the high school football team, I just hung around band hall. Perhaps I should have embraced
