Surface Pro 3: A VERY different experience
If you are a long time reader of this blog you may remember how thrilled I was when I bought the first Microsoft Surface Pro sold in Canada. I wrote about it (including videos) that week (Microsoft Surface with Windows 8 Pro: It’s Here!) and quite a bit subsequently. It was… well, it was a…

Smoking the competition with meat!
When I was living abroad I had two great friends – Mark Segal and David Goodman – and the three of us were inseparable. The two New Yorkers and I had a lot in common, but one thing that we never agreed on was food… for some reason the two of them never understood the…

How to Make and Choose Friends, and How to Influence People
According to Facebook I have seven hundred and ninety-five friends. Of course that number includes people who asked me to be friends because we know someone in common… but I have have never met them before; it includes people with whom I have agreed with on matters debated or discussed, but have also never met. …

Stay out of politics!
A couple of years ago I went to Montreal with my colleague Damir Bersinic to do a presentation at the Montreal IT Professionals Community (www.mitpro.ca). I was born in Montreal, and when I moved to Ontario in 2007 I found it interesting to see the point of view of the ‘Rest of Canada’. Nearly five…

Battery Up: Windows 8.1 on the Surface Pro 2
I have already bragged about the Surface Pro 2, and I still love it and that has not changed. It took a lot for it to supplant my Lenovo X1 Carbon as my primary device (my original Surface Pro was always simply a companion device). The device rocks, simply put. One thing that I don’t…

Sick of Special Categories…
Earlier this month the headlines in the sporting world – rarely taken off of the Olympics – was on a ‘brave Missouri football player who came out of the closet and announced he was gay before the NFL draft.’ Commentators said that while it was brave, it could have been costly, possibly dropping him in…

Getting to Know Windows Server 2012 R2
Originally posted on Grab Your Favorite Beverage: I know it’s been a few weeks – okay, maybe six – since my last post. Things at work have been really busy, I came down with that awful bug that was going around, and there were some changes in my personal life. Now that things have settled…

Welcome to Cote St. Luc, Montreal
I came to Montreal to visit my father this week. I arrived Tuesday evening and picked my father up at his apartment in the Cote Saint Luc section of town. After dinner we drove around looking for a place to park. I found two spots that looked good, but my father found the signs (well…

Microsoft Store Grand Opening Weekend
This week-end’s grand opening of the Microsoft Store in Square One (Mississauga, Ontario) has been a truly amazing time. Saturday was busy all day – people lined up to buy Microsoft Surface devices, Xbox One, games, software, accessories, and some simply came to get concert tickets. Whatever the reason, there were hundreds of people here…

Microsoft Store #84 (Square One!)
What a day… I arrived at Square One reasonably early this morning expecting to be one of the first people in line to get into the new Microsoft Store. I wasn’t even in the first 200! Fortunately I had registered as an MVP and was ushered into the VIP section. This is not my first…

A New Look to The World…
…Not the entire world, of course, only The World According to Mitch. I have made some changes, most of them cosmetic, that I hope you will appreciate. WordPress (the platform on which I blog) has hundreds if not thousands of themes available, and every year or so I try out a new look. I try…
