They are calling for a ‘heat wave’ in Toronto, Ontario.  Apparently, we have a name for 3 days in a row that are above 30 degrees celsius. I just spent 3 days in China, average temperature was 32.  Better yet, I followed that with 7 days in Taiwan and  the average temperature there was 35 degrees. Bring on summer!  The only thing better than 3 …

When was the last time you went out of your comfort zone? It’s interesting how many people actually never do. They never take that step to push themselves that extra mile. Some people never venture out of their country, city or neighborhood. If your one of those people I highly suggest you do it. Do it today, plan it for tomorrow, …

After 6 days of meetings and ‘events’, it’s our last working day here in Taipei, Taiwan. Computex again provided us with new insight into the world of electronics and specifically SSDs, of course.  New relationships were built and existing ones strengthened. Tonight, we will enjoy some sightseeing, take in a night market and try to find another good place to …

KingMax didn’t waste any time showing off their new 1TB SSD at Computex 2012 this year.

Check out the daily updates and of course our special Booth Babe collection, as it appears that this year …

Read today how the latest big Canadian Lottery winner, $50,000,000.00, is planning to continue working.  Crazy! I have to admit that, yes I would want to keep busy. but I would so be taking at least a year off to travel the world with those who meant the most to me.  With that much money you could take each person, …

A beautiful start to summer, temperatures of 24 celsius with clear skies.  It was great to get out on the motorcycle and just ride. Today, we headed west to Port Dover, an area famous for Friday the 13th rides. What I don’t think most people know is how beautiful this little town is, situated on the banks of Lake Erie.  We …

The first long weekend of the summer is about to descend upon us Canadians.  Also known as May-twofour, it is our ‘official’ start of summer. Those who are fortunate enough head to their cottages for the first time, others will hold or attend yard sales. If your not familiar with this national holiday, it is a celebration of Queen Victoria’s …

Another special day gone by. Never really thought about it, but was wandering do other countries acknowledge Mother’s day? It appears there are a number that do.  While some countries celebrate in March there are some that do not celebrate it at all. I personally think it is a great idea. Curious how you spent it?

For some it’s a reminder of an era gone by, a simpler time.  They were colorful and stood out in the classroom. some were smaller and sat on the teacher’s desk while others stood up tall from the floor. But they all taught …
