(I Must Be) Loonie (Kayaking to This) Island

Fifty-one is not old. But sometimes I feel like it’s too old to be trying new things. Old dog. New tricks. You know how it goes. On the other hand, it’s never too late to experience something new. So today, I did something new – got in a rickety, shaky, wobbly kayak and paddled as …

Hitting my Stride (Maybe?)

On Sunday I did something I haven’t done in years. I ran 10k! To be fair, it WAS on a treadmill (ugh), but regardless, I did it! It’s been a l-o-n-g, s-l-o-w road back, but as I mentioned in a previous post, I’m trying to pause every now and then to recognize my accomplishments. A …

Might be Worth a Gander

This morning when I was scrolling through my Threads timeline, I came across a post from Amber Mac announcing she was part of a group of backers of a new social media app. Great – just what we need, a new Social Media app! But – this one actually sounds interesting. At least to me …

It’s a Bird! It’s a Pl… nope, just a Dead Bird.

I have no idea of the number of miles, kilometres, minutes and hours I’ve spent running or walking in my 50+ years. Certainly in the thousands, likely in the tens- or hundreds-of-thousands. But the other day, after all that time pounding the pavement, I experienced a ‘running first’. As I was in the middle of …

Timbits and Tiny Thanks

Seems lately everyone loves to hate on Tim Horton’s. Actually, seems lately everyone loves to hate on everything. But that’s another post for another day. To be fair, I can often join in complaining about Timmies – whether it’s slow service, constant price increases, baked goods not baked in-house, or the inevitability of receiving the …

WWDC 25 – First Impressions

Maybe I’m easily impressed. Maybe I don’t set high expectations. Maybe, in the big picture, a company’s gonna do whatever they want, and they’re not going to be able to please everyone. Regardless, I thought today’s WWDC keynote was generally pretty good! If you pay any attention to Apple as a company, you know that …

Running Through the Little Things

I suppose if you had to stick a label on me one way or the other, I guess you’d call me a runner. I’m more of a runner than the average person, sure, but most days I don’t really feel like that’s how I’d describe myself. Still, if it’s a question of being a runner …

iPad Mini: The Best Kindle

It’s not perfect, but the iPad mini (6th generation) is pretty-much the perfect Kindle for me. Sure, the Kindle – or any eBook reader for that matter – beats an iPad when it comes to battery life, use in direct sunlight, and for being waterproof. And of course those are very important things… some of …

Apple Vision Pro

Let’s just get all this out of the way: OK? Everyone Happy? Great. Let me tell you though, that after using Apple Vision Pro for 10 days or so, I’m very much interested in it as it is, and its future potential. I’m not going to bother going into specs, or what’s in the box, …

My Mach E(h) Experiences

My last post talked about how I bought an EV, and I would be detailing my experiences under a different domain (macheh.ca) Since then, I haven’t added anything here, and instead have written a few articles over there. At the time, I thought it would be good for SEO or Branding or whatever to keep …
