As we are open today for last minute shoppers – we too had to go out and do some last minute shopping. The mall was packed and so was everywhere. We are very glad that this year – we have a friend to look after the store for a few hours while we run off [...]

We don’t get many tourist in this town no more – since the NDP decided not to fund the ferry from USA – Maine to Yarmouth – but once in a while we still get some – from across Canada. Today, a tourist from Moncton came into our store to ask if we can set [...]

Since Christmas of this year I’ve noticed increased sales in 2 specific items. VGA cables so people can hook up a computer or laptop to their shiny new LCD or Plasma TV, and wireless routers so they can share their internet connection to new computers and/or game systems. Unfortunately it’s not always a [...]

I’ve been toying with the idea of setting up an online store for years now, but it’s a lot of work to set up and maintain. Getting shopping cart software is easy, but getting something that would tie in with my existing POS software is all but impossible. I’ve looked into online fulfillment [...]

Living in a town with 1 radio station can make it difficult to hear new music, especially since hard rock/heavy metal is what I normally listen to. I’ve been introduced to more ‘new’ music through Rock Band & Guitar Hero then pretty much any other method of listening. So what do you do [...]

I don’t know if it’s just bad luck on my part or what, but we seem to go through a lot of routers here. At home I’ve only had to replace the router once and we needed to get a wireless one anyway so it wasn’t a big deal. Here we’ve had one [...]

Perhaps one of the biggest surprises of my day today was learning that Coca Cola is pumping 5 million bucks into it’s SOGO Active program in collaboration with ParticipACTION. The program is targeted at youths and teens in an effort to help them become more active.

A few weeks ago I decided to create a Facebook group for the store, a few people joined, then a few more, and we eventually had 45 members. I was hoping it would have grown a little faster so I could make more use out of it for ‘free’ advertising, but we’ll get [...]

Ok I don’t watch a lot of TV these days and that became quite apparent today when I heard about this free Dance Hero game from iCoke. It’s a pretty basic online game with only 2 contestants, 2 songs and 3 stages to choose from. The contestants are new Coke Zero mascots, a [...]

It’s getting to the point where people really have no excuse for making a bad purchasing decision. Back in the days before the internet you’d have to rely on word of mouth or magazine articles in order to find out if a particular product was as good as it claimed to be. Now [...]

We’ve been with Host Gator for a month now and so far all is going well. I’ve only noticed downtime once and it only lasted for a couple of minutes. I’m not sure what the problem was, but if it only happens once a month for a such a short time then I’ll [...]

There’s a neat little program out there that has come a long way since the early days when it first debuted. Dragon Naturally Speaking is now up to version 10 and works so well these days, and fast, that it can be of use to anyone who has a lot of typing to do. [...]
