Modern office buildings. If you’ve ever worked in one, you are familiar with the modern security of the key fob or pass card right? Those little devices that use RFID to get you into the building after hours and then get you to your floor if you have the misfortune of working late or on weekends. They all have them in one way or another and if they don’t, well…they’ve.. Read More
Symbols and signs – A Forward Movement
So. It’s been a while. How’s that for a statement of the obvious? Why has it been so long? In all honesty, I got tired. 2017 was a very up and down year, with the highs of the bike and Invictus, which I shared in detail, to the lows of a lot of changes to my health…which I didn’t share. I don’t like to whine and I still won’t as.. Read More
Las Vegas on wheels – the Strip ain’t easy street

I’ve never met a debate I’m not tempted.. Read More
A moments where you either laugh or cry. Guess what I choose.
A few weeks ago, I was trapped. That’s not an understatement or an over-dramatizations of a moment. Totally trapped and all I could do was laugh. Now, once more bear with me, dear reader, there is a point to this (even if it’s only in my own head). I was about an hour away from home, in a small town just barely in the border of the GTA, called Bowmanville. I had pulled over into the parking lot.. Read More
Can you tell what’s wrong here? #AccessFail
So here’s a challenge for my readers. For ages on the old site, I have complained about public bathrooms in Canada and I know I do it ad nauseum. Bathrooms don’t make for the most fascinating of reading and certainly, no one wants to talk about public bathrooms, but despite the distaste, we all use them. Since we all use them, they are something quite easy to offer as an example of what.. Read More
