Confessions of a Business Traveler
I’m sitting here in a little hotel about a five minute walk from the Tower of London in London, England. I went out for a walk earlier and found myself a bit depressed as I wasn’t even sure where to go. This is the fifth time I have been to London in a year and … Continue reading
1:29AM
It’s 1:29AM and I am awake. I’m awake because a couple of days ago I was in Los Angeles and fully adjusted to Pacific time. That’s four hours behind Moncton time which means in about 2.5 hours, I’ll be ready to fall asleep. Despite being home since Friday at noon, I still feel myself unable … Continue reading
Android vs iOS
I read a very interesting article today and I really enjoyed it. What I enjoyed most about the article was the fact that this guy seemed to really hit the nail on the head about what should dictate which platform you should choose. His point of view was very in the middle and he made … Continue reading
My Displeasure With The UK Health Clinics
It’s Friday and in a few hours I start my journey home from Philly. I only had about 18 hours of being home last weekend after being in the UK for a week. To top it off, I was awful sick that week so it made for a horrible trip. However, the worst was a … Continue reading
The Decline of Microsoft
I’ve been thinking about this for awhile but I only decided to sit down and write about it now since I’ve kind of need a break from my work writing. This time around I want to take a little jab at a company that used to make a difference in the tech world: Microsoft. Back … Continue reading
Violent Media Is Not The Problem
This morning I read yet another ridiculous article about how folks are still trying to blame violent videogames and other media for the recent shootings in Connecticut. This time it’s a group near Newtown that wants people to bring in their violent videogames in exchange for money. The plan is to burn all of the media … Continue reading
The Inability To Take Suggestions / Criticism
Recently I had a situation arise where I found myself wanting to help someone else out. Specifically, it had to do with a particular geocacher and something they had done. Now the thing is, most of the time I tend to just keep my opinions or suggestions to others to myself unless I am face … Continue reading
Teaching my kids about technology
A few months ago, my wife told me a story about my son Dylan that concerned me a bit. Turns out he had been at a friends house and his friend, who is the same age as him, was quite skilled at using a mouse on a computer. Dylan was however not as skilled. He … Continue reading
I’ve been blogging for more than 11 years?
According to what I could find, this was the earliest “blog” entry I could find for Bobsroom. It looks like some of the entries between there and here never made it into the current database I use for all of my blog entries. Still though, it’s a bit insane to think of the fact that … Continue reading
So long Coke. It’s been a blast.
On October 29th, I started what would become a pretty brutal week. It would become brutal because I was consciously deciding to stop being a Cokehead. I have been drinking pop since I was young. In fact, I don’t ever recall a time in my life where I didn’t drink pop. Coke has been my … Continue reading
