What are you Searching For?
Far more people in Canada used the Internet for “personal interactions” last year than those who didn’t. According to Statistics Canada, “Eighty per cent of Canadians age 16 and over used the Internet for personal reasons in 2009, up from 73 per cent two years earlier.” I was a bit surprised that only 80% used [...] Read More >
Apple Says No to Porn, Kinda
Pornography is a multibillion dollar industry, but you won’t find it on your iphone, at least not officially. Several sites, include Techland.com (a subsidiary of Time) reported a series of emails between Apple CEO Steve Jobs and one unsatisfied customer, Ryan Tate. In the emails Tate asks Jobs what he think Bob Dylan (a hero [...] Read More >
Don’t Skip Your High School Reunion
I was a little surprised to see a headline on CNN this morning that was in favor of High School reunions. I could feel my stomach curdle just thinking about it. Why would anyone subject themselves to high school again, even just for a night? Surely the only people who actually go to those things [...] Read More >
Ipad Kitty is Front Page News
The most viewed video on YouTube today is “Iggy Inviestigates an Ipad”. In the video Iggy the house cat chases a cursor around the screen of a brand new, $500 computer. You can find the link on the homepage of CNN.com . Riveting stuff. I can’t decide what surprises me more – that someone let [...] Read More >
And the Oscar goes to…
This Sunday millions will watch as the Oscars are handed out for the eighty-second time. I will probably watch, although I find the choice of hosting duo Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin a dubious one. Couldn’t they let Steve handle it alone? I miss Billy Crystal and his musical monologue. An article in the New [...] Read More >
The Latest Superbowl Ad Controversy
Most years, the most controversial thing about the Superbowl are the ads (or perhaps a wardrobe malfunction) so in a way this year is nothing new. But unlike most previous years, where the controversy surrounds the overt sexuality of the ads, this year it’s the opposite: This year’s controversial Superbowl ad advocates celebration of family [...] Read More >
3 Minute Break
This has been a tough week. With all of the heartbreak, all of the horror and helplessness of the images on TV hearts are heavy. If you need a break, watch this. I have never seen someone jump like that. It made me smile, I hope it can do the same for you. If you [...] Read More >
What do you hope for in 2010?
It was almost 15 years ago that the Spice Girls implored us, “Tell me what you want, what you really, really want.” (Sorry for the earworm.) The mystery of what they were actually singing has long been solved, (“really really really wanna zigazig ha” still makes no sense) but many of us are still trying [...] Read More >
Toilet Paper and Technology
If your household is like ours you are encountering a whole new sociological phenomenon: the ‘always- in-contact’ generation. Yesterday this hit an all new level for our family. I was making my morning latte when the telephone rang and my husband answered. I heard the following his-half of the conversation: “Hello” “What?? (snicker, snicker)” “Okay” [...] Read More >
Doing Much with Little
It’s easy to think that charity is something someone else should do, someone who has a lot more money than I do. But the truth is this: it is my responsibility too and I am neither as powerless nor as “un-rich” as I might sometimes think. Wealth and opportunity are incredibly subjective. Those of us [...] Read More >
