For Public Computers – it’s a Privacy Mat

How it works:

Step on and enter personal information (shipping address, phone number) then

Step off and the last session is instantly erased. Step back on, a new fresh form awaits.

Clever eh!  Why don’t we see more of these.

How about libraries, airport terminals, internet cafes and store loyalty program signup kiosks.

Spotted at Lee Valley Hardware, that store’s cool eh. I was there buying magnets, and from 2008-10 I included one of their pocket screwdrivers in my thank you cards.

 

 

Notice What Option is Missing?

It’s a screenshot of my iPhone settings I took while in the USA last week.

Answer – Personal Hotspot

Canada telecoms allow us to connect our laptops via our phones, to Hotspot.

The States isn’t into them. Instead, they use MiFis – a stand-alone device that looks like this – 2nd last photo.

Remember: you are legally responsible for anyone who uses your HotSpot.

 

 

Have a Great Weekend Guys

I’m burnt. Wrote for the paper all day, including ‘Keri’s Top 5 Best Things from the LA Auto Show‘, which I rather like, read it here.

Completed all deadlines by late afternoon, just inhaled Swiss Chalet, now I’m in the middle of running errands, which I’ll leave you with, because I just don’t have it in me to spend a few more hours in front of a computer.

TTY Monday, enjoy the last weekend of November ’14! xo

 

 

11:30 pm and Just Got Home

My flight landed at 7:30, but my car’s battery was dead, so a couple hours hanging around Terminal 1, then CAA saved me.

A fast Happy Meal in the driver’s seat, cause can’t shut the car off in case it doesn’t start again, and now finally I’m back in my house, which I still get nervous leaving alone, even though people come to check on it (ty).

I like airports, always have.

I don’t like travelling to the other side of the country, because by the 3rd day when you adjust to the time difference, it’s time to leave.

And days spent in transit are like ghost days: poof, there goes the last Thursday in November that I will remember practically none of. Feels wasteful.

LAX is UGH

Hoovered up 94 MBs while gone.

kk 2 newspaper deadlines tomorrow, so for today that’s me complete TTYT
