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 …

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 …

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 …

I Bought an EV!

Continuing with my love of tech and overspending, I’m now the proud owner of a Ford Mustang Mach E! While this actual purchase came together fairly quickly, I have been low-key (do people say that anymore?) wanting an EV for several years. And while I’ve only owned the car for about 6 hours so far, …

Concert List

A recent social media post (see below) making the rounds has made me think about all the concerts I’ve been to. My memory sucks, but as of now, this list is what I can remember. But first, here’s my ‘best and worst’ list based on the post that inspired this: 1. First Concert – Public …

iPad Air from a ‘Pro’ Perspective

Maybe it’s some sort of lame existential crisis. Maybe it’s getting older and being more frugal. Maybe it’s just the ‘shiny new’ (to me) factor. Maybe it’s because it’s BLUE! Or maybe it’s none – or all – of the above.  Whatever it is, I absolutely love the iPad Air 5th generation. By some definitions …

Being Proactive

I’m generally pretty laid back. I wouldn’t consider myself lazy, but I suppose I can see how some people may throw that label at me. I don’t think it’s entirely fair – it’s just that with a lot of things, I prefer to take a wait and see approach. You know, if it ain’t broke, …

Going to the Dark Side

A few weeks ago I decided to try this whole Intermittent Fasting thing, as part of an overall goal to lose some weight. I decided to go with the 16-8 system (or probably closer to 15-9 due to my slacking with a late night tea). Regardless, this post isn’t entirely about that. Part of the …
