Love Note from a Stranger

July 23rd, 2010 Lyndsay Walker 4 comments

This was just too good not to share.

Last night a friend and I went for dinner at Kelsey’s.  I parked far from the door where the parking lot was very empty and purposefully took up two spots.  I had just been commenting on Winnipeggers’ lack of parking abilities and figured I would take two spots to make sure no one got too close to my car.  As most of you know, I have an unhealthy affection for my car – a 2007 Ford Mustang.

OS4 for iPhone, you fooled me!

June 25th, 2010 Lyndsay Walker No comments

I upgraded my iPhone to OS4 the other day (without drama, thank goodness). Yesterday I noticed a new icon at the top.

I thought, cool! It’s a compass pointing north! Then I realized that, from sitting at my desk at work, it was actually pointing southeast. That was my DUH moment. I realized it’s just the indicated that GPS is on. Then the other DUH moment. My 3G doesn’t have compass abilities.

Oh OS4, you did fool me there. But it’s ok, I’m smart again!

iPhone coming to Canada?

January 15th, 2008 Lyndsay Walker No comments

I know, it’s a blog post that’s been seen so many times since Apple announced plans to release the iPhone, what I guess about two years ago now?  Such blog posts have contained hopes, dreams, and really nothing more than rumours.

Perhaps this is just another one, but several reputable news sources here in Canada (including the National Post) have reported that maybe, just MAYBE Steve Jobs of Apple will announce to all of Macworld that Apple and Rogers Communications will have finally struck a deal, bringing the iPhone to Canada.

What will the web look like in 2010? 2015?

August 29th, 2007 Lyndsay Walker No comments

Social media has been around for a while now, but with sites like MySpace and Facebook, we’ve seen a real increase in Web 2.0 in the past 18 months.

Which begs the question – what will the web look like in the next 5-10 years?

Now, think back 5 years.  What were you doing on the web?  Me, I was all about message boards and updating my sites on Geocities.  I think by that time it was Yahoo! Geocities.  But I couldn’t imagine seeing videos and other streaming media becoming a staple on many web pages.  Forms of blogging were around, Live Journal was the big one.  But the word “blog” certainly wasn’t a household name.

Forget optimizing for Google

Here’s a new one for you – www.gizoogle.com

I checked out one of my 2000 Mustang’s site, www.winnipegmustang.com, and I had quite a laugh. You’ll never hear my talking like that – it’s like a whole nother language! Crazy.

Worth while checking out, have some fun with it.
