I have been feeling under the weather for the last few days. Nothing major just the common cold, you know runny nose, a little achy and the occasional cough. We are not talking N1H1 or anything drastic, but it has been putting me to bed early and I have not been as productive at work [...]
It has been three weeks since I left Blockbuster and started trying out Zip.ca for DVD rentals. It has been an interesting change to go from wandering around a Blockbuster store to choosing movies online. For some people wandering around the video store looking for a movie to rent is part of the experience. As [...]
While I am by now means an expert in Apraxia, I have certainly been learning a great deal since my daughter was diagnosed with it. Here are some of the things I have learned. People have no clue what Apraxia is. I can understand that, I did not either until my daughter was diagnosed with [...]
My cell phone is nothing special, certainly not when you hold it up to a smart phone like an iPhone or an Android phone, but it does the basics plus I can surf and check email. Using Opera Mini has made that much more enjoyable. I have been tempted to get a smart phone recently [...]
When we moved to Regina I thought it would be nice to be close to a movie rental store like Blockbuster. It had been at least six years since I had lived in the city and I was certain that the local BlockBuster would have a better selection of movies than the gas station down [...]

Last week a friend of mine invited me to goto the Riders games versus Montreal. I am not a huge sports fan, something my wife is usually grateful for, but I do enjoy watching the Riders. I suppose it is part of growing up in Saskatchewan, particularly in Regina. While the whole province supports the [...]
I have a Nokia 6275i cell phone. I got it about a year ago and enjoyed it but there are a couple of things that have bothered me about the phone. Actually, let me be clear, it is not the phone that has been the problem, but rather the ridiculousness of the cell phone companies [...]
In April 2009 we journeyed out to Parksville British Columbia. It was a long trip, but with regular stops at what seemed to be every McDonalds on the way there and back, visiting family in Calgary, and enjoying our stays at the hotels along the way it was an enjoyable trip. There was lots of [...]
by mringlein I am sitting at the Saturn dealer getting our 2007 Saturn ION serviced, once again, and I am amazed at the fact that they do not offer people a free wi-fi connection. In my opinion any business that has a waiting room should just automatically have a free wi-fi connection. With more and [...]
