Welcome to my personal blog. This is full of my opinions. Not Microsoft's or MacBU's opinions - mine. And remember, this is the internet, so I probably have no idea what I’m talking about.

Happy Canada Day

While I've been a US citizen for four years now, I've also been a Canadian for forty two years. So happy Canada Day, everyone! Here is one of my favorite Molson (yes, the beer people) ads in their "I am Canadian" theme:

I know this place is where I am
No other place is better than
No matter where I go I am
Proud to be Canadian.

I am. You know I am.
I am Canadian.
I am. You know I am.

I am Canadian.

Come on!

I love this country where I am
This land is where I make my stand
No other heart is truer than
The one we call Canadian. Canadian.

Sing it!

I am. You know I am. You know I am!
I am Canadian. You know I am.
I am. You know I am. You know I am!
I am Canadian.

I am Canadian!!!!!

If only the Molson's would sort out their house.

They keep fighting for family control of the company, where one half the family doesn't consider the other half to be "-real- Molsons."

One wishes they'd get on with the business of brewing, and look to the example of our American company, Ford Motor Co., where once old man Ford was out and the company, public, it took about 40 years to get someone with the last name Ford back into the seat of leadership.

Friend, I raise a glass to you: Nothing wrong with a little patriotism, nothing at all!

My iPhone Day One: Chuck E. Cheese report

Today is my first real day on my iPhone. So far I'm loving it - there are so many nice touches it is hard to keep track of them all. Sitting here typing this in Chuck E. Cheese, though, I sure wish it had games of some kind to kill time (my iPod games I bought last year wouldn't sync). And I miss OTA Exchange support already - IMAP doesn't appear to be enabled at work.

I am getting better with the keyboard by the minute, although this post was still a little painful to type. But the cool part is that I could do this post using the MovableType web interface!

Back to small hollering boy guard duty!

So ... speaking of OTA Exchange support: You guys going to be pulling any strings to settle that issue? :)

Microsoft does make Exchange ActiveSync available to to interested third parties.

Alas, our Exchange server are not open to the Interweb, and no push, so no work email. Maybe that's for the best - I can always VPN in if needed.

The UI is phenomenally good. Usability is great.

Still keeping my Windows Mobile phone as well, though.
