I’ve never been that interested in Netflix. I find their service in general very interesting, but up until last year (I think it was) we couldn’t get Netflix in Canada. When they started offering their service here I checked out the video offerings, and found that there was nothing they had that interested me. All… Read More »
Yesterday I’m heading out on some errands, and as I turn onto Morray, I hear a screaming little engine, I look left onto the bridge and some idiot on one of those mini-motorcycles is racing down the street, swerving back and forth across two of the three lanes like a child on a new bike.… Read More »
I ended up replacing a large stainless steel BBQ with side burner and rotisserie with a Weber 300 from Home Depot. I looked again at the STOK Gridiron Portable that really interested me, and realized it had no tank rack, and only a small hand held tank style connection under the side table. So it… Read More »

Our street is a private non-thoroughfare crescent, with only 2 entrances, both off of Portage Avenue and both blocked on an annual basic by… Read More »

My first computer was a VIC-20. Later I got a C-64, and eventually a C-128. After that point the writing was on the wall for… Read More »
Apple has removed a controversial iPhone app from its app store by a religious group determined to “cure” homosexuality, but only after 146,000 outraged people signed a petition. I’ve followed many stories about people and companies that have had various problems getting their app published to the Apple online store. I was honestly surprised that… Read More »
A friend and I recently went to The Bodies Exhibit in Winnipeg, and this is my (our) review and personal experience, and personal opinion of what we saw. Overall we were left rather underwhelmed. We weren’t sure what exactly to expect, other than hearing verbal reviews from people that had already been. Our first impressions… Read More »
This past Saturday evening was my first art gallery opening at Poser’s Gallery in Morden. Opening night was a private, invitation only event. There was a decent turn out of the people we had invited. The gallery served wine and finger food. I appreciated all the positive comments people made that night and since. On… Read More »
