As far as Canada goes, the winters in Calgary are pretty nice. I've lived in the Yukon, Nova Scotia and I grew up in the lower mainland of BC, but I'm in Calgary now and have been …

Another digital service that's only available in the US. Content licensing is just plain broken.

> good coffee, donuts better than Krispy Kreme and Dunkin Donuts. Maybe a few years ago. Everything at Timmy's is warmed from frozen now, and the quality is much worse than it used…

I actually live only 10km away from where I work, and my commute amounts to less than an hour per day. I'm at the office by 0700 and I leave sometime after 1700. My work situation …

I wish it were possible for me to do something like this during the week, but it isn't. I wake up at 05:30 as it is, and I'm out the door and heading to work by 06:30 (that's an ho…

So, apparently there is a limit to the number of add-to-circle actions you can perform in a day. I added the circle and then removed it, and when I went to re-add I got an error: "…
