Lately, whenever anyone draws the obvious parallels to 1984, posters seem to jump to say that Orwell had unsavoury beliefs and therefore it negates any correct thing he ever said.

Even plagiarism has become lazy these days. At least do me the respect of concocting a lie.

The number of touch screen clicks I need to turn my windshield wipers on is just plain dangerous.

I’m old enough to remember a time when windows were rolled up by hand. It wasn’t perfect, but you never had to turn your car on again to deal with a window forgotten open.

Well, it’s very simple, don’t you see? When he makes money, it’s not addiction When he makes no money, it’s addiction

It can be hard to pay for online goods with Interac, unfortunately. I’d love to see it become more widely available on e-commerce sites
