I’m probably going to ramble a bit in this post. When I watch railfans in Japan, it never fails to amaze me. I adore their public transportation system. I’m amazed at how they keep it easy by using trains of various designs to transport people through cities and...

So gentrification is the process whereby the character of a poor urban area is changed by wealthier people moving in; maybe by changing the housing, and the types of businesses in an area. So why do I talk about gentrification? I grew up in the Don Mills area,...

Over the last few months, how many times have we heard the phrase “in these trying times”? These phrases are used on almost every news report and talk show. Sure, we are definitely in some difficult times, but what will it look like after we’ve...

During these trying times healthcare professionals should not only aim to provide the best care to their patients, but also choose the right medical software for their practice. By digitally storing patients’ medical histories and treatments, EMRs remove the...

Cyber-criminals are always on the lookout for ways to monetize illegal activity. The unlawful use of customer and business information is one way; however, medical data offers a more lucrative opportunity. A breach in your system, allowing hackers to access your data,...

I always find it fascinating when someone calls me for assistance, after doing something they know they weren’t supposed to do on their computer. Let me know how that’s working out for you while I sip on my tea.

I will limit this to one paragraph or more because there is not much more I can say that has not already been said. We must do better! The traffic on Highway 7, between Warden and McCowan, is just dreadful. For a city like Markham, it’s unacceptable to already see...

I normally don’t drive downtown for a reason. Today I realized that driving downtown is absolute madness around The Rogers Centre and area (getting worse). I love the Condos, but traffic today was maddening. We need more transit to relieve the pressure. (at Lower...

My father used to use lemons and oranges in his tea. So I thought I would try a little lemon in my tea today. They say lemons help to improve digestion. I’ll just take the benefits of some vitamin C with my caffeinated tea. Energy revitalized! The good Lord...

Another interesting article on AI. The future may very well belong to the coders and programmers. If you ever wondered about the importance of coding in education, now is the time. We should start to teach coding skills in Elementary School, along with the math...

Remember years ago when Steve Jobs opted to remove flash from Apple mobile products? It’s 2015 and that slow moving death of Adobe Flash is now a high-speed train; aiming to get us to that future a lot faster than we thought. HTML5 is here to stay, so what are...

Say no more and let’s just get Windows 10 to consumers, as soon as possible. Windows 8 was fine, however it was definitely a big change to both basic and novice users alike. I am hoping that Windows 10 makes a big “splash” in the market. It’s...

Recent reports of online, mobile and POS (Point-of-Sale) security breaches have started to erode our confidence in the reliability of the cloud. But have we focused too much on convenience? Or should we simply revert to best practices, for computing security? Time...
