Earlier today I read an article on Maclean’s which argued whether Apple or Google had done more to change the world. The author argued that Apple had simply refined what was already there, while Google had done something revolutionary. My first thought was to side with Apple. I use Google a LOT, but I use…

What are the important things in life? This is a question I occaissionally give some thought to. The fact is, the answer is different for everyone.

So here I am. It’s sneaking up on midnight and I have yet to write today’s post. I was sitting on my deck with my dog watching the squirrels, chipmunks, jays and finches going about their lives. I should have been working on this post, but my phone was inside charging. Instead I sat and…

It’s about twenty after one in the morning and I’m writing this blog. For those of you wondering where I get the time to do this so much and at such random times, I’m currently recovering from surgery. Nothing life threatening thankfully, but it still means I’m off work and not too mobile. I have…

Just to switch things up a bit, I’m going to go from big picture, big issue posts to something personal for a moment. My wife Lynn’s birthday is coming up this weekend. As I’ve been laid up for a while recovering from surgery, I haven’t been able to get her a gift. Instead, I’m going…
