It’s been a long time since I published anything here. On a good note, I am happy to see that people are still finding use in the timesavers I wrote way back in the day (I think some of the early ones came pre-classic edition of Salesforce…). I have decided to come back and write…

I Got Infinite Ammunition – the best of 2014
So, another year has come and past. This blog seems to be my annual posting for music in the past year. I will truly attempt to write more this year, as it has been some time. Luckily, all the old stuff is still here and hopefully people find enough there to assist them. 2014 was…
Christmas is the Time to Say I Love You
Well, here we sit at the end of another year…2013 has but a week and a bit left. It’s been a crazy busy year, and unfortunately my blog took the hit this year. I really do miss writing for it though, so in 2014, starting with the annual Top 10 of 2013 you will see…
Second Verse, Same as the First…the Best of 2012
Hello all, As I look at my blog, I realize how extremely bad I have been at posting to this site on a regular basis. I see that after Dreamforce life once again went crazy, and this site suffered first. I always make the same resolution every year – I resolve to see January 1…
I Watched A Change In You, Like You Never Had Wings…
So today is March 1st – and for me it is starting off as a lion. A smaller post today, as the past month has been a whirlwind of activities, meetings and announcements. Today the xLerate I started up four years ago with a small amount of savings and a dream is now being put…
You Tell Me It’s The Institution….The flaw in our fabric right now
So, today I happened to make mention of a peeve of mine – businesses that use Twitter not to engage or be personal with the masses, but who use it as a way to throw out the latest sale, offering, or blank “Come visit us ’cause we’re awesome” tweet. Of course, after quickly typing it,…
Hello out there, we’re on the air, it’s ‘Hockey Night’ tonight…
So, those who know me know that my love of what I do for a living is superseded likely only by my love of hockey (of course my wife and kids come first for everything….). I played hockey for a very long time, until I couldn’t anymore, and now I spend a many a night listening and…
Long May You Run…
Yesterday, the world lost a technical icon, an entrepreneurial mentor and a great human being in Steve Jobs. The news came a day after the Apple 4s announcement, and the same day as Oracle Open World. As a friend of mine said via her Facebook status, “Every single comment or status update in my stream…
And if You save yourself, You will make him happy…
So, today is the 20th anniversary of the release of Nirvana’s Nevermind. I’m not going to wax eloquent about how this album changed the music world on its head, or spoke to a generation, or any of that. To be honest, there is enough out there on Nirvana’s impact by people far more smarter than I am…
Summer Begins when Bluesfest Begins!
Ah, the beginning of July means the true beginning of summer to me. It means Bluesfest, an annual concert that Steph and I (along with hundreds of thousands of others) have parktaken for what seems forever. For those not from Ottawa, Bluesfest is a two week music festival that is pretty darn good (I know…
