Sunday

• Where I went to university – Kitchener and Waterloo are fabulous places to visit in the fall and not just for Oktoberfest
• A really disturbing report about vaping in a Scarborough school and I’ve heard that it’s the same thing around here

Monday

• Insights about the interesting Google Dino Game – Simpson’s style

• Supposedly another article about the new events in the Windows 11 update – I can’t get excited about this. Could we just have the ability to move the taskbar to the left side of teh screen?

Friday

• When hackers get student information, we should be worried and I hope all school boards are investigating their security procedures

Technology Troubleshooting

Yesterday was an interesting experience. As I’m sure we all have done, I’ve accumulated quite a collection of cables over the years. My wife keeps bugging me to throw them away but I just know that I’ll need one some day.

It turns out that yesterday was the day.

I was positive that I had the cable I needed but I searched everywhere and somehow I didn’t.

I’m visiting The Boy later today so hopefully can steal one from him.
