Where is the Facebook Off Switch?

I am going to mention a few things. See if you can spot the trend. Jian Gomeshi Parliment attack Ice bucket challenge Rene Zellweger If you guessed that they are each a trend in themselves (especially if you are Canadian) then you are right.

Seeing the Warning Signs of Anger

A terrible tragedy in Moncton New Brunswick yesterday has led to the deaths of three of the city’s finest, with two more in the hospital. Media reports identified as Jason Bourque. I took a quick look on Facebook and came across this profile, which I believe would be the person, if not then that fellow has all the warning signs

Get Back on the Horse – or on Track

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

Pizza? No. Better Product. Make it Work.

  For years our family ordered pizza from a local place. I was a loyal customer. Over time however, we noticed the quality had changed.

F*&^% That and Y0&^$ Too!

  Social media is an open place. You can disagree with someone, or even the platform, but there is still some etiquette here. When I saw this post it really stood out as the F word is not only rarely used, it is not used at all in the stream for the past 7 years I have been on Facebook.

Wipe Me with a Porterhouse Please.

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

Evoking (the Wrong) Response with Facebook Ads

Once mighty Corel evoked some response by telling folks on Facebook that they should switch from Adobe CS to its photo editing software. Thing is, it wants to target users of Photoshop, but chooses instead to target all of the CS suite. This includes web production, video production and other non photo creative tools. The power of CS is the
