“My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.” — Jack Layton, 1950-2011 I had other things that I had planned to write today. But when my wife phoned me this morning to tell […]
In my last installment of the Decluttering iStuff series, I purged all but two of my third-party camera apps from my iPhone. This time around, I have the more daunting task of eliminating a ton of Twitter apps from both my iPhone and iPad. I suppose that some of the apps I’m eliminating don’t just
This morning I’m appearing on CBC Radio One’s On The Island, where I’ll be talking with this week’s host David Lennam about a bunch of lifehackery stuff.
