The Last Single
If you are a music fan you’ve probably heard the song by now. The final Beatles single was released earlier today. The tune is pleasant enough, but I’m struggling with the band label attached to it. Just because each member of the Fab Four played on it doesn’t make it a Beatles tune to me. […]
Why This?
I told ChatGPT I wasn’t feeling creative today and asked it to write a blog post. I told it to choose the topic. It came up with: The Power of Resilience: Overcoming Life’s Challenges. Life is full of ups and downs, twists and turns, and unexpected challenges that can often leave us feeling overwhelmed and […]
The Technician
Don’t you hate technology? Even more, don’t you hate calling tech support? You know they can’t help you, but hope springs eternal. This morning my internet connection died, and with it my television service and home phone. I spent an hour trying various reboots and resets, but nothing worked. Which meant having to seek technical […]
Country on Fire
Canada is burning. There are hundreds of wildfires burning today, many of them out of control. There have been more than 5,000 so far this summer. Thousands have had to flee their homes.

Some Things Never End
As conflict in Ukraine brought on by the illegal Russian invasion shows no sign of ending, I’ve been thinking of the aftermath of the war when it finally does end. Maybe it is the date – August 6, the anniversary of the dropping of the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima. When the guns stop firing […]
Finding News Online
I’m watching with amusement, wondering who will blink first. The Government of Canada has pulled its advertising from Facebook and Google in protest of those companies decision to drop all Canadian news content. Other advertisers are following suit. The issue is recent legislation forcing tech companies to pay for links to news content. The tech […]

The TikTok Results
Just in case you were wondering…in our less than scientific poll on people’s use of the TikTok app on their phones: Forty-four per cent (44%) of respondents said they would never have TikTok on their phone, but do have other social media apps. I didn’t answer the survey, but that is the category I would […]
