Hey hey! We’re still doing Tech Pizza Mondays. We understand there’s a certain conference in town, one that rhymes with “blanimé sporth”, so if you’re a part of that, join us tomorrow! #Toronto #tech #pizza

Why is everything on the cloud these days?
I’m kind of getting tired of every piece of professional and business software being a SaaS or cloud-based solution these days.
I have a good computer, it can run a lot of complex programs on it locally. I wish I had the option to do so.
Not everything needs to be synced 24/7. And I’d much rather have some tools include a cloud sync functionality that backs up changes with some kind of regular frequency for version control and cross-device access, but otherwise runs on my device.
These days, when I’m trying to go work somewhere without an internet connection or am traveling and have spotty data - I can’t access 90% of my work. Files don’t back up locally even when there’s a native desktop client app. Why?
It feels wasteful, sending so much data to the internet and back with constantly required online sync and web apps.
I feel nostalgic now, remembering the days of software that would require buying a license every couple of years, that would run on your device and could be accessed even from the top of a remote mountain if you wished, and that didn’t log you out every other week.

It’s Monday again tomorrow, and that means we will host Tech Pizza Monday like we do every week! 440 Bloor St. W., 6 PM, August 18th. #Toronto #tech #pizza

I ditched all my smart gadgets at home and replaced them with USB-C rechargeable lights. I don’t have any assistants, and I replaced my Kindle with a pocketbook.
Removing some technology from my home and daily life feels refreshing.

Hey, it’s Monday again. That means we are hosting Tech Pizza Monday again! Same place (Victory Cafe, 440 Bloor St. W.), same time (6 PM), same…actually, the menu changed recently, so the pizza is different than it has been in the past.
Word on the street is that there will definitely be a hardware demo. Cool, right?

Most #tech these days promises to help us get things done faster. That premise is sending humanity off a cliff these days.
What does tech that helps us slow down look like instead?

ok. this was a weird moment. I just handed in my landline work phone. ☎️
Last winter we had a bad storm in #Nanaimo and it caused some power outages and spikes at VIU. At some point it damaged some very aged and critical parts of our internal telecom system.
Ever since, the plan to
move to fully digital comms (using Teams) has been quickly progressing.
The migration is done now. My phone still worked immediately after the storm, but it's been dead air for a few months now. Mine is the first in the building to go into "the box" which just appeared in the office. 😢 ✌️
Goodbye Faithful Northern Telecom phone.
I won't miss your answering service but my fingers will never forget the passcode. 😂

Love that Verizon can text and email me advertisements after I've unsubscribed... twice. But they don't text or email about security breaches.. #tech

Did Google Maps and Apple Maps search get worse in the past year?
I keep having a ridiculous amount of trouble locating places to eat or stores in #NYC lately unless I know the precise name of a place - even very similar keywords like “burger” for a place that’s called “Blue Collar Burger” - and it doesn’t come up.
Let alone searching for nearby open restaurants or something by category… most places just don’t come up and instead I see completely irrelevant businesses.
I feel like it’s deteriorated a lot since 2024 but I also might be misremembering how easy it used to be.
