I forgot to blog this earlier . . . My camera was replaced in less than seven days by the good folks at HP. I called in the problem and set the wheels in motion that resulted in a glitch-free procedure that put my new phone in my hand in about 5.5 days including a weekend. I was very impressed with the warranty service. They've got my business for the next while and I'll be telling anybody

There's a site of a new religion that takes on the Intelligent Design concept using this basic premise: As long as we're taking a look at other theories besides evolution please look at mine because it's just as valid! If you haven't already seen this site then go there soon. Of course, if you're a religious zealot then you may find this stuff offensive. But why not go there anyhow, and leave

Dex, Deedee and Rumour are heading for Hawaii for a few days. It's a long overdue vacation and the first long time away from home for Rumour. We're staying with friends on lovely Maui. They're dialing in some great activities for us. We'll be heading to their special surf and snorkel spots. Besides the beach, I'm looking forward to a couple of extended dinners out with Deedee where we don't

Went to use our newish HP R717 digital camera the other day and quickly discovered the view screen was not functioning. It was okay last time I used it. It was still under warranty so I dialed the 800 number. So far, so good. I have to say I'm impressed with HP's service so far. 24-7 service desk and very clear and non-judgemental response to the problem. It's off to Ontario by courier (they

This morning I happened to see the newspaper person working our street. I say person because I couldn't tell which gender from my perspective. The delivery person was snuggled deep in the bucket of a late model sports car. It's a rural street and the daily paper is deposited in little yellow and orange plastic boxes perched on steel posts at curbside. All the driver has to do is roll down the

If you're on the internet more all the time, it would serve you well to go to this site and read this groundbreaking manifesto. If you missed it the first go round, take the time and read it.

If I could only do one athletic pastime it would be downhill skiing. I've never been able duplicate the rush in any other sports activity. One of the reason I volunteer with my local ski patrol for the past six years or so is to get that pure high on a regular basis. It's no secret that one of the benefits of being on patrol is getting those first two runs in before the general public as we open

Most people recognize the threat of global warming. It's already changing weather patterns and that kind of volatility always causes social and economic stress. Evenually, every aspect of human existence will be altered by this development. There are clear options for governments and nations to help alleviate the problems. But one problem that is that the words "global" and "warming" are not

After the soccer (indoor) practice, Bunny and I take Rumour out for his choice of food. Sometimes we try to work a compromise, but that's not easy when you're dealing with the most fussy-eater five year old in town. We can usually talk him into going to Lee's because they've got a deep fryer and he likes the texture 'crunchy'. It's pretty much the prerequisite for ordering. We love the fresh

Probably add a Flickr photo stream. I think I might put a horizontal right below the title... Get some de.licio.us tags and maybe some other tag tools embedded Generate some polls and quizzes. Try to make it a stimulating visit!
