September my favorite month!   Now that I no longer go to school that is. The weather is usually perfect. The days hot enough to swim, run, whaterver your favorite outdoor event maybe and the evenings you can sleep with the windows open. If you do have to start back to school hopefully you have been able to acquire the best electronics …

Well it’s time to get the kids, teens and young adults ready for the next year/semester of school. Fading out are the days of purchasing scribblers, dou-tangs, binders  and all that writing material. Now we’re tasked with finding the right laptop or IPAD. I hope that the tech reviews we are completing or sharing through our site will help you make …

How long have you lived where you do? I moved to Niagara, Ontario in 1995 and until yesterday had never truly toured Toronto.  A regular traveller, we usually only go to Toronto for hockey games.  With the arrival of our friends from  South Carolina we ventured to Toronto via the Go Train. What a great experience! We purchased a scenic bus tour, which also gave …

When the thunder rolls! Lighting strikes somewhere and although we can’t see exactly where we know it’s close because less than five seconds later there is a crack of thunder.  You know it is a true thunderstorm when these events happen so close together. As we are collected in the garage to avoid the rain it’s a great experience and conversation …

Tuesday, it’s the day of the week that follows Monday and before Wednesday. I was curious today what Tuesday meant and haven’t really found a good definition.  It also appears that Tuesday is not an extremely historical day, although there are of course some interesting happenings. Do something today to make it a little more enjoyable whereever you are. HIGHLIGHT REVIEW …

June has almost passed us by and the official beginning of summer here in Ontario, Canada starts with the end of school and the July 1st long weekend. The forecast is awesome for all outdoor activities.  Families will embark on the lakes and campsites in full force. Smores galore will be made and of course the cold beer will be chillin’. Wishing everyone …

They are calling for a ‘heat wave’ in Toronto, Ontario.  Apparently, we have a name for 3 days in a row that are above 30 degrees celsius. I just spent 3 days in China, average temperature was 32.  Better yet, I followed that with 7 days in Taiwan and  the average temperature there was 35 degrees. Bring on summer!  The only thing better than 3 …

After 6 days of meetings and ‘events’, it’s our last working day here in Taipei, Taiwan. Computex again provided us with new insight into the world of electronics and specifically SSDs, of course.  New relationships were built and existing ones strengthened. Tonight, we will enjoy some sightseeing, take in a night market and try to find another good place to …

As an SSD guy, it isn’t often that a computer chassis catches my attention and an even a further chance that one as compact as a mini-ITX compatible would turn my eye but such is the case with the new BitFenix Prodigy. This little beauty was their reigning product for Computex 2012 and it definitely wasn’t the result of the …

Read today how the latest big Canadian Lottery winner, $50,000,000.00, is planning to continue working.  Crazy! I have to admit that, yes I would want to keep busy. but I would so be taking at least a year off to travel the world with those who meant the most to me.  With that much money you could take each person, …
