I have finally updated the site! It's been a long time coming as I transition from full time work to semi-retirement. My plan is to do a three months on, three months off rotation--work for three months, take three months off. So far so good!

The exciting part of this past year has been my involvement with Literacy for Life Foundation, building Tech Talk technology training. Seeing it in action over the past year has had it's challenges but has been very rewarding. I am excited about the possibilities of applying this method to many of my workshops moving forward. If you are curious about this and if it can help you, leave a comment or use my contact form to get in touch.

It's not just about the best protection though. You need to consider the impact on your computer's resources when picking an antivirus or you'll be chugging along in frustration when the app is running. If you haven't already made the decision, here's a great article from Tom's Guide to help you decide what's best for you.

The High River library is closed temporarily while they move back into their renovated building. Yay!!
