Siriusly?
I’ve been a SiriusXM subscriber for over 4 years now, I have a radio in both vehicles and I pay an extra $5/month for the Internet subscription so I can listen to the app or online if the mood strikes. That’s why my latest conversation with a SiriusXM customer service representative completely baffles me. Yesterday the trial subscription on my new vehicle was due to expire, so I called SirisXM and was promptly greeted and...
Driving; You’re doing it wrong
On the way home yesterday I watched what was possibly the most stupid and preventable accident ever take place. There was much more traffic than usual at the red light at the corner, there’s a gas station on the right and typically you don’t have to wait for the light to turn right, there’s normally only a car or two in the right lane and you can get by and turn right.

Alt Nation’s Alt 36 of 2014
I’ve been playing a tonne with Google Music over the last month. It’s pretty awesome. Thumbs up a few tracks you like here and there and the “I’m feeling lucky radio” button gives you other stuff you may enjoy. It’s a pretty delightful streaming service.

The big thing is that I want my next watch to do everything my Garmin does as well as everything the smart watches are doing. Most of the watches available today do not have built-in GPS so if...
Fried is the new cold
My favourite part of pizza is getting a slice on the go. It’s that crunchy crust that just makes it and it wasn’t until I met the buddy of a buddy in Austin that I learned the secret. Josh taught me the simplest trick in the world that makes leftover pizza even better than fresh pizza. Just place the pizza face down on medium heat in a fry pan and then flip once the cheese is warm and you’re tired of waiting. Leave...
iPhone’s gone NFC, no more waiting Google!
An infamous blogger, Toronto Mike, is now following my blog and told me I need to up my blogging game. It made me reflect on the fact that this site has been up since before there were blogs, much like his, and before the World Trade Center conspiracy happened. Incidentally, I also host Mike’s podcast, Toronto Mike’d on my upcoming site PodcastAccelerator.com. Regardless, I don’t have time to wax on here very often,...
