Hello and thanks for reading.  There was one scene from the movie “Blow” that I remember getting a bit of a kick out of.  As the popularity of cocaine had taken off, Johnny Depp’s character had a unique problem…where to store all of the cash that they had.  He and his friend had it piled […]

Yes, for millions of kids around the world, June spells the end of the school year.  While it is always great to start summer vacation, more than a few kids may be worried about their grades.  For some, it will be because they are doing poorly, while for others, it will be to see if […]

Ok, I admit that I am not a huge basketball fan.  It ranks 4th in my preference of the 4 major sports in North America.  But, that does not mean that I do not appreciate greatness when I see it.  One can’t help but admire the incredible talent of the Golden State Warriors, but more […]

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of participating in a race that was part of Calgary’s Marathon weekend.  You know, “stupid thing that causes all of the roads to be blocked while idiots try to kill themselves running” (at least, according to the rant from a gentleman in the airport).  These races, which are […]

I always enjoy going to the Bay Area, and try to do so a few times a year.  Sure, the weather (especially in the south part) is much better than where I live most of the year, but I also enjoy going there because of its “energy”.  No, I don’t mean the over-priced electric bills, […]

As a way of changing my previous unhealthy lifestyle into one that was healthy and maintainable, I vastly improved my cooking skills a few years back.

It’s Friday and odds are high that many of you are planning a night out for drinks or dinner this weekend…and if you are, I bet Uber is in the mix. I admit that I didn’t see the reason behind Uber hype for the longest time. So, let me get this straight, it is a […]

Many congrats to all those who put in the long hours of training to qualify for today’s Boston Marathon. Here’s wishing you a safe and enjoyable race! As an avid runner myself, I am always looking for an advantage.  While this applies to all of the equipment that I use, nothing compares to my running […]

\n\t Hello and thanks for reading.  If you’ve seen a presentation that I have given over the past couple of years, you may have seen me reference “the three phases of Wireless”.  It pretty much echoes the three phases of the Internet, but with more of a wireless spin.  During the first phase, it was […]

\n\t First off, I won’t be voting in the upcoming US primary or general election.  It seems that they have a rule against Canadian citizens voting in their elections.  However, it doesn’t mean that I am not fascinated by the overall spectacle of the US election process.  It may be the best reality show on […]
