Among the cool attractions at any tradeshow, there is one constant that draws people to the booth — a comfortable couch.  So, after I got some information from NetGear on their award-winning routers and their storage solutions and their multi-media boxes for HD entertainment.  I sampled their cushy chairs, and was just about to use […]

Internet is today’s radio! What I mean … years ago I worked for an Album Oriented Rock station in a cowboy oriented town … long story … but anyway, I always enjoyed working those radio remotes.  The deejay would do live breakaways from Pink Floyd or whatever, and we would give stuff away on location.  […]

As my teacher told me in grade four, “If your head wasn’t tied on, you would lose it.” Maybe so … but I have also found some pretty interesting things in my day to compensate. I think my eye for all things lost began with an educational/historic interest. On the farm as kids, my siblings […]
