    Valentine’s Day Messages

    So my man created this demo of his coding skills for Valentine’s Day: interfacemaster.ca/love -> check it out! Click and drag anywhere on the screen (or tap and drag if you’re on a mobile device) and play! It’s so much fun. If you want to send a custom message to your love for Valentine’s Day,…

  • orage snowboard clothing

    I finally broke down and bought a really cool Orage snowboarding suit. I’d been eyeing up the Byng jacket all winter, but I was undecided on which colour, and couldn’t find a price I was willing to pay. All of a sudden one day, my searches for this jacket proved boundlessly fruitful. I pulled up…

  • cataloguing books

    A service has emerged called LibraryThing. For free, you can list up to 200 titles from your own private library. For a fee, you can join the site and list as many books as you like – from your library, your wishlist, ones you want to read but not own etc. Apart from the fact…

    All I can say is… so true!

  • days go by featured on blogto

    My blog was recently featured on BlogTo.com’s Blogerati files. Very exciting! I want to thank Lily from BlogTo for contacting me and asking if I’d like to have it up there.

  • the importance of your website’s content

    I’ve noticed a bit of a trend lately in many of the web pages that appear; get excited about creating a website, have it designed, and… leave it empty. This is doing your business no good. Having a website is a great idea; leaving your page to then sit without content is not a great…

  • where is the internet headed?

    The web is in a transitional period. Truthfully, it has always been a thing that constantly evolved. From the original text-based freenets, to initial graphics-based browsers, to a more accessible, geek-filled landscape and now plunked directly into pop culture – its forms have always changed year to year. It’s just that right now, I feel…

  • amazon.com’s online reader service

    Amazon.com is once again beginning to amaze (scoff!) me. I just recently started paying attention to the American giant again (I’ve been hanging out on Amazon.ca for the past few years, which is sufficiently behind its parent as to be still stuck in the late 90s – or so it feels) and I cannot believe…

  • times they are a-changin’

    I don’t know why, but it feels lately that Google’s searches are less relevant. I used to be a whizz at finding things online; I’d go to Google and type in a phrase related to what I was looking for, and voila! I’d have an extremely specific, accurate answer in a matter of moments. Now,…
