Back from the Dead
Hello friends and acquaintances, I know it has been quite some time since I last posted anything at all, so an update on my life is most definitely in order. Quite a bit has changed since January when I last posted. For starters, I enjoyed an excellent 6-month stint at Canada Computers, but I have…
What Apple’s education announcement means to you.
Hey again, I’d like to take a little time to weigh in on an important issue which has been really controversially received today, about Apple’s update to iBooks as well as a standalone iTunes U app. For me personally, this is an incredible innovation, one which will certainly encourage me to even probably buy a…
Washing your Hands is a Waste of Time.
Now, this article is going to get me into a lot of trouble, especially with females and people who are OCD about cleanliness and personal hygiene. But I have a point to make and while I’m certain that not everybody agrees with me in principle, logically my arguments are fairly solid. The title of this…
Inferior Service Pirates (ISP’s)
Hey everyone, I have been a little lax of late in coming up with poignant things to talk about, but I really think I’ve outdone myself today in being much more broadly appealing than usual! Today I would like to share my thoughts revolving around a topic I’m sure we all consider very important, and…
Recent and Random (bonus: Introspective)
Hello and welcome back everyone, it has been a slightly off week so far, as I came down with a little cold/cough/sicky thing, and so doing anything besides lying around like a log has been rather difficult. I have decided, however, that it is time to write a little more. Since I don’t really have…
Typing into the future
Hey everybody, this is a test blog post which is also sort of a product review. It has been a while since I last wrote, and so as to not give the indication that I’ve given up on blogging, I thought I’d write a little something here. I recently sold my laptop, which was instrumental…
In a Blink
Hey again everybody, There has been plenty of discussion about Steve Jobs in the last day or so and in the interest of not duplicating the thousands of articles and memorials I would like to talk about a somewhat related but personal take on my feelings in the last day. These sentiments have presented themselves…
Multi (hold-on) tasking
After over a decade of using Windows-based PC systems (ranging from Windows 95 through the developer version of Windows 8) and two years of iPod Touch and iPhone operating systems, I have learned quite a few things about how computers work. However, that is not what I intend to talk about today. What I want…
What’s happening?
Hey again everybody! First, I thought it would be nice to get a few details out of the way before I actually get to anything. I have finished my masters thesis and finally submitted it yesterday! This document took a lot of work and I’m really proud of the way it turned out. I don’t…
5 Years in the Life (AKA my thesis’s acknowledgements section)
I have posted below, my complete, unedited acknowledgements section which I plan to submit with my thesis. I really would like to send a heartfelt thank you to these people as well as any others I’ve forgotten or didn’t include for one reason or another (though that seems hard to believe). If you have any…
