I really should be in bed, but for some reason I’m restless. So I thought I’d write this down. On Friday night, we tried out a new app that’s supposed to be designed to help you call a taxi easier…and…for the most part, it was a success. It’s kind of a neat idea, that’s for …

When I was a kid, I spent quite a while being fascinated by the record scratching in rap music. I wanted to figure out how to do it, but I didn’t have many of my own records and the only turntable we had was hooked to the old family stereo system in the living room. …
I meant to write about the ripoff and a half Rogers Next program when I first heard about it early this year. I mean seriously, what a scam. For an extra $300 a year straight into the pocket of Rogers, you could get a new smartphone every 12 months whether you need one or not. …

For all sorts of reasons, Carin and I have been thinking a lot lately about getting rid of our house phone. We each have cell phones. We have unlimited Canadian long distance calling on them. We don’t call the States much, but if we need to we can always buy some Skype credits for cheap. …
