Ottawa
Back at It
Once again, I slacked off and haven’t written anything in a couple of weeks. I have been down with the flu for the last week and haven’t had the energy to tackle much of the daily tasks, let alone getting in a few hours of writing. I did spend some time working on a website […]
Another Monday Afternoon
Always do your research before starting a computer upgrade.
Getting Rid of Panhandlers
Crime in Ottawa No doubt if you live here in the nation’s capital of Ottawa, you have seen them on the main thoroughfares throughout the city. They walk up and down the medians and when the light turns red, they step out onto the roadway and walk from car to car with their Tim Horton’s […]
Another Election Over
Municipal Elections in Ontario This past Monday was election day in Ontario where cities and towns chose their mayors, councillors and school board trustees. It was the first election in many years that I did not vote in. Strangely, this municipal election did not seem to get much coverage through the media or even with […]

Does Voice Dictation Work?
Voice Dictation So, I’m trying something different today. I’m actually using voice dictation to create this post. I’ve had Dragon NaturallySpeaking installed on my desktop computer for some time, but I’m never actually used it. I’m working at getting several websites up and running, and I need to find a way to increase my productivity […]
Being a Busy Bee
New Job It’s been a week or so since I last posted. I’ve been hoping to post more often and get a couple of more websites online. I’m hoping to turn website development and blogging into my full-time job and get some YouTube channels up and running. The last week has been extremely busy for […]
My Summer Music and Book List
Summer is Here We have almost burned through the first full month of summer. Here in Ottawa, we’ve been breaking heat records when it comes to consecutive number of day’s with temperatures above 30 degrees Celcius. As is often said when it comes to summer heat, it’s not the temperature, but the humidity that hits […]
