Monsters of Excess

Yesterday, I was at a strip mall waiting for Jeanette to finish in a store. I was enjoying one of my increasingly rare Cuban cigars, just watching the world go by as I leaned against the back of our tiny SUV, a Geo Tracker. I was looking one way, and I started to hear this […]

Big Brother Cometh

It’s kinda scary how Big Brother the US of A is getting these days US news media becoming more and more subjective and biased in their reporting of world events (CNN’s basically a PR firm for the US Govt these days) US telling foreign, sovereign nations, what they “must” do with their own airlines and […]

Off to Ottawa One More Time

Well, I’m off to Ottawa again this Christmas holiday, to spend it with my Mom and family. I’m leaving earlier than planned, which has got me a bit loopy – I was expecting to get a variety of things done this week, but I got a call today from my Dad that said I should […]

Mo’ Mobloggin’!

I’m really getting into this whole Mobloggin’ thing… (Mobile Phone Blog)… Shawn over at TextAmerica has this going good, and it’s a fun diversion. Even some famouse folks are using it, incl. Leo Laporte from TechTV, and (watch out Chris, Stroking Ego™ about to take place) Chris Pirillo. Now Shawn and the TA crew have a contest going […]

Mobloggin’!

There’s a new thing happenin’ and it’s called Moblogging. You’ve heard about blogging, right (I talk about it enough here). Well something brand new is moblogging – the act of updating a blog via a smartphone… and in most cases, it’s a visual blog, with photos as the primary focus. You take photos with your […]
