Cars, Security and a Peek into my Life
Here’s some horror stories about worse traffic jams that one you may be stuck in.
Read it online at Autonet.
If that fails, try my trick – last paragraph.
The reason for many traffic jams is an accident. So imagine how the injured person you’re inching toward, would give anything to trade places with you and instead be the one… stuck in traffic.

Laughed a lot. First Christmas in my new house! And it was nice to have a break from blogging, thanks for being understanding.
Hung out with my neighbours. Who was aghast I’d never seen the movie, ‘A Christmas Story’ and made me watch it.
Surprised by how much I laughed, “it’s a serious award.”
The arrow is pointing at the oddest movie moment I’ve seen in a while – Mickey Mouse is attacked and pushed out of the parade. The movie was made in 1983, can’t see that happening today.
May not remember taking some of these.
1 – New Years Eve
2 – playing YouTube DJ. My neighbours make fun of my “spirit fingers” when I dance. They’re right.
3 – backyard shooting competition after the movie, because Red Rifle.
I’ve not seen that Frozen movie, but when I Googled it this character is the happy guy on the street, so that’s a nice compliment.
2008 – Jawbone
2009 – Books
2010 – IronKey
2011 – I forgot
2012 – a dust-buster & jogging pants
2013 – humidifier and black baseball hat
2014 – a house
Read a lot of car manuals, and messed around trying to load files into infotainment systems.
Blog tag = Christmas, and Posts of Christmas Past
Failing though; I haven’t Tweeted since.
My car for the holidays was amazing,
2015 Range Rover Sport Supercharged V8, top trim, $120,000-ish.
Here’s to a strong start to your 2015 xo
It works.
Ford’s SYNC2 infotainment system was a disaster. So when I went to Detroit and tested the SYNC3 prototype, I figured there was only one way for this thing to go.
Gone is Microsoft, and the operating system is now Blackberry’s QNX OS, the user interface is minimal and intuitive, the system is WiFi capable, and Ford is first to bring Over-the-Air (OTA) updates to mass market. Short review: hugely improved, and now quite slick.
Read it online at Autonet.
SYNC will have WiFi capabilities, allowing the driver to turn their car into a Hotspot (use WPA2 WiFi security – never connect your car to a public network, and remember you’re legally responsible for Hotspot users.)

Remember – YOU are legally responsible for those using your Hotspot, here.

I’ll update a bit, but I’ve been really into vacation-mode for the first time. I even had a nap on December 27! A _nap_.
So I’m going to stay like this till next week, keep the same schedule as the rest of the world really. It’s a normal work-week over at the newspaper, and will update a bit here, but other than that, I’m waving hi from the couch and that’s that!
TTYS XO
Nice new patio set eh?!
I was working last week in my kitchen, hear banging on my back porch and it’s them, “hey Keri, we got you this, 5 chairs too, enjoy bye now!”
I have the best neighbours.
