A Tribute

February 14th 2024

The Gang at the Rogue on West Broadway did a tribute night for my Buddy. This was our drinking hole. He was loved and a Welcome Patron. He had many a good time there, Thank You to all the staff, especially to Alex for making it happen, you are a Gem and a Good Soul.

Happy Birthday Ian, wherever you are …… Miss You my Friend.

Sad News – In Memorium

My Best Friend passed away yesterday. Buddy I love you and will miss you till the day I die. Ian you helped through the passing of Michelle and have been an incredible friend since. I will miss our chats and listening to our favourite tunes and trying to figure out who they are and what song they are playing. You are gone way too soon my friend. We were supposed to celebrate your birthday on the 14th and go to see your new place on family day. Rest in Peace my friend you will not be forgotten, but you will be missed. Love you my dear, dear friend.

67 too young and gone too soon

Apple Watch & Apple Pay

Being one of the first to get an Apple Watch, I have been fortunate to see things progress from the start. I was excited before even getting the watch. Now I am still as excited as ever. Although the watch is not a cheap investment, it is well worth it. I get quicker access to messages, calls and notifications. These being the most of which I use it for.

NOW there’s Apple Pay. WOW. All I can say is Steve would be proud. I can’t believe the banks in Canada were so reluctant to make it so. Apple’s perseverance paid off big time. The convenience itself is amazing. The speed of the transaction is pretty sweet too. All in all a great experience. And it just works. Cool great job.

Time to get into gear

So here we are, yet again trying to get myself into the swing of keeping up to date on the site. Things change so quickly it is hard sometimes to stay on track. Having said that I am on holidays right now. A good time to revamp.

Holy Smokes…

Man I can’t believe how time flies by, it has been so long since I wrote anything here, thought maybe it’s time to catch up. So many things are changing in the techno world, what a fun time to have access to all this technology. The iPad is still one of my favourite toys and has come a long way since it’s purchase. Not planning on upgrading to the iPad2 or iPad3 (when it comes out) but have upgraded to IOS 5 which has some awesome features and useable too. A world without Steve Jobs is slightly scary. Here’s to hoping the iTeam keep it together, from the looks of their 4th quarter report, things are still rolling along. I’m thinking Steve left them a big box of ideas and concepts to work on, which will keep them going for many moons to come. I have some articles to post, just need to get them finished. That is another day…

IPad Revisited

So about seven months ago, I wrote that I wanted an iPad. So we decided to get one for an early Christmas present. Nice. This is certainly a great new toy. Kinda scaring me though. Another Apple product in our home. The quality of the display is awesome and is so easy to use. The apps are a bit more expensive, but some are worth the extra. Others are just trying to cash in. Research what you are getting for the extra.

This article, written on the iPad with the WordPress app. Well done and an asset to the arsenal. Will write more as I have tried out different things.

Lest We Forget

Thank you to all the veterans in the world for the freedom we have today. The sacrifices that were made and the losses you faced. We will remember.
