Welcome to GWorld

Google and I have kissed and made up following our little tiff the other day.  Now that we're buddies again, I'm back singing their praises. The tutorial below from Google shows how you can increase productivity by adopting Google Apps for your business or organization.  The package they're selling isn't

Country Crock

I really don't know these country artists that were featured on AI last night.  I had to ask Taryn who the heck Martina McBride was and why she deserved to follow in the footsteps of the great Kenny Rogers.  Other than the Bonnie Raitt tune, I was out of my

My Offline Challenge: Week Six

We just ran for five minutes followed by one minute of walking.  We did this for about 3km.  This week six synopsis is about gear and tunes. Gear: You can tell the semi-pro runners by their gear.  They have those running pants and the proper attire, but it looks worn.

Cho Seung-Hui & Mr. Brownstone

Let the armchair psychoanalysis begin.  The Virginia Tech shooter has a name and factoids about Cho Seung-Hui are starting to filter in. We're learning he was quiet and disturbed.  Evidence of his disturbed nature comes from accusations he set fire to his dorm, stalked women on campus and wrote alarming

2007 Playoff Pool: Day Six

Those who drafted members of the dynamic Tampa Bay Lightning trio did well for themselves last night.  Alvin's got the lead but Ryan's nipping at his heels.  I'm tied in third with Joe who was my best friend in Junior Kindergarten.  This time, it's war. For the current standings, visit

The Virginia Tech Emails of April 16, 2007

In 2007, the ideal form of communication with university students is email.  People of that generation are always connected, even when out and about they're receiving email on their cell phone, Blackberry or other PDA.  If you need to share time sensitive email with a large group of students, send

Virginia Tech School Attacked

The deadliest school attack in U.S. history took place this morning at Virginia Tech.  At the time of this writing 22 are dead, but it sounds like that number will rise. We don't yet know the name of the shooter, but I'm going to jump to the conclusion it's

A Raptors Record

The Toronto Raptors are the only franchise I care about that I've followed since game one.  I don't remember the first few Blue Jays seasons and the Leafs and Argos have been around since well before I was born.  The Raptors, however, played their first game in 1995 and I've

The Elusive Wrestling Album

In the mid-80s, I loved WWF wrestling.  Rowdy Roddy Piper was my favourite and I watched weekly.  I even went to a couple of live events, including Hulkamania at Exhibition Stadium.  As a fan, I loved The Wrestling Album, which I owned on cassette. That cassette tape bit the dust

The Middle Name Surprise

I've known my younger brother Steve for all of his life, but until very recently, I didn't know his name.  I'm not alone, our own mother didn't know his name either.  In fact, Steve didn't know his own name. It turns out Steve's middle name is not what we thought

The Eh Myth Busted

Thanks to Bob and Doug McKenzie, we Canadians have always been associated with the expression "eh?".  Truth be told, I never say "eh" unless I'm intentionally saying it to fulfil the expectations of the stereotype.  We're supposed to say it, so I'll say it for effect.  I never say it

ABO: Anyone But Ottawa

For the second straight year, I'm watching the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs without an emotional interest.  My team isn't there, so it's relaxed viewing.  I usually root for teams with players I drafted in the pool. This afternoon I caught the last two periods of the Ottawa
