Tough Loss
Last night the Montréal Canadiens fell 5-1 to Tampa. It was a difficult game to watch. They will regroup, and come back strong on Wednesday. They will also come back angry – Tampa outplayed them for sure, but they also played dirty. Players left the ice bloody, and seeing that will make them mad. Tomorrow…

I Hate WordPress.
I have written and published an article about my father twice. WordPress has lost it both times. Today I hate WordPress… to Hell with you making me go through that emotional pain twice and stealing it from me.

Starstruck
I had only my third celebrity encounter since moving to California this weekend. Princess Sophie went to say hello to her, and I recognized her from Grey’s Anatomy. Jaicy Elliot is so nice and down to earth! We switched from English to French – she told me where in France she grew up, but according…

There was a vibrant…

Outlook Is Backwards?
I installed Office 365 on my new laptop this week and did not give it another thought… until I went to start booking travel for my upcoming trip. I went to click on Monday and realized it was not where it was supposed to be… everything was backwards. It was a little confusing, and I…

Covid-19 and Security Theatre
I was walking through the casino at Binion’s on Fremont Street, Las Vegas last weekend, and I couldn’t help think about an old friend. Dana Epp, one of the smartest people I know, and an IT security expert, introduced me to the term Security Theatre. I don’t remember how many years ago that was, but…

Not All Docks Are Created Equal…
Last week I was onboarded at a new company. I will be working from home for the first time since I moved to California, so it was necessary to equip my home office. I should clarify, I am an employee of the company that contracts me to them, so when it comes to equipment, some…
