Simpig's Den: July 2007
http://simpig.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 09, 2007. Got a question about GPS functionality in cellphones. I don't believe that the GPS circuit is powered if the phone is turned off so I don't believe that a powered-off phone can be "tracked". Beyond that its hard to say because its really up to how the network and phone are configured to work. My Blackberry has a user option setting to enable and disable the GPS functions, however I believe that the setting gets bypassed during a 911 call, so can probably be bypassed other ways also.

Simpig's Den: August 2011
http://simpig.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 16, 2011. Product Review: 2012 Ford Focus SEL. I like the holder for sunglasses above the rear-view mirror. This has become a standard feature in a lot of vehicles and saves me having one of those clip-on things on my passenger visor. I've got a bit of a complaint here; the mechanism and construction of the whole area above the rear view mirror seems cheap and clunky, especially compared to wife's Honda CRV - but still, I like it. Not sure why, but SMS messages through the Sync interface ...

Simpig's Den: October 2010
http://simpig.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 02, 2010. I was drinking a glass of V8 V-Fusion juice and noticed the bottle says "no sugar added". It was pretty sweet so I started checking the label. There are lots of fruits and vegetables in this juice so likely all natural sugars, but the nutritional information says 27 grams of sugar in a 250 ml serving. How much is that really? So, a 10 oz glass of juice has the equivalent of 11 packets of sugar in it vs. the 1 packet I put in my coffee. Wow, eye opening. View my complete profile.

My Maritime Year: Coolest. Fashion. Site. Ever.
http://maritimeyear.blogspot.com/2007/07/coolest-fashion-site-ever.html
Not random, but definitely arbitrary, thoughts about living and breathing in Halifax. Saturday, July 21, 2007. Coolest. Fashion. Site. Ever. So Mika had some screen-time today and she asked me to find her a site "Where you can put clothes on girls and change their hair and stuff." Basically she wanted a paper doll game without having to cut the clothes out and paste them to card stock. Http:/ www.i-dressup.com/gamelist by az.php. If you have even a passing interest in clothes click through. Trust me.

Simpig's Den: February 2008
http://simpig.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 10, 2008. Thursday, February 07, 2008. A freakin shame in the name of progress. Okay, picture a golf course. mostly open space, right? I'm assuming here, it could become a wonderful Super Center - mostly pavement with no trees at all, but whatever it is to become, I doubt it will be as "nice" as the golf course was. Driving on ice and snow when you are late for work and traveling 10km/hr is a lot more manageable when AC/DC is on the radio.Back in Black.gunna be a good day!

My Maritime Year: January 2007
http://maritimeyear.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Not random, but definitely arbitrary, thoughts about living and breathing in Halifax. Sunday, January 28, 2007. Irish Gypsy Clan Wars. These two clans lost their land during the potato famine and have been "rovers" ever since. The locals call them gypsies, and generally call the Roma by their own name. It's not political correctness, as far as I can tell, it's just that the Walsh's and McDonough's are considered to be more deserving of an epithet than the wandering folk who keep to themselves.

My Maritime Year: April 2007
http://maritimeyear.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Not random, but definitely arbitrary, thoughts about living and breathing in Halifax. Monday, April 16, 2007. Yann Martel wrote in the Globe this weekend about a group of artists being brushed off by the PM. This is the action he has decided to take. I would categorize it as "Harassment by Literature". Should be entertaining for people who like literature, but don't like Harper. Http:/ www.whatisstephenharperreading.ca/. Posted by Michael S. Thibault. A bit of Dickensian fun.

Simpig's Den: November 2007
http://simpig.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 15, 2007. Sunday, November 11, 2007. Movie Review: Smokin' Aces. Liked it a lot more than I expected! But that often happens to me with movies - I see something that looks good but not great, so I go in with low expectations and have less chance of being disappointed. Lots of guns and violence, makes for a loud couple of hours! Sunday, November 04, 2007. The ownership date for the new house is approaching - 5 more days! Anyone know how to test if a piano "works"? Planning to take the p...

Simpig's Den: Airport Security
http://simpig.blogspot.com/2011/06/airport-security.html
Saturday, June 18, 2011. Thus ends the initial account of one of the dumbest incidents ever recorded on this site, which is saying a lot. . Personally, I feel a little dumber for having spent a portion of my morning on it, and for actually feeling compelled to offer this parting advice, applicable to any situation you can possibly encounter in life: When in doubt, always pull your pants up.".
