Jeff Healey Memorial Tribute

My brother, also a big fan of Jeff Healey, has posted a very nice memorial tribute. Update: My brother’s tribute was taken off this site, but there is a tribute now online for Jeff.

I’ve just learned of the passing of one of the greatest Canadian musical talents, Jeff Healey. I had the pleasure of meeting Jeff back in 1993 during one of his tours. He was one of the warmest, kindest, most down to earth people I have ever met. Anyone privileged to have ever seen him perform...CONTINUE READING

Indoor Sports

by Susan Murphy

It’s another ridiculously cold and snowy day in Ottawa. I was talking to a guy in Arizona the other day and where he was it was 82 degrees Fahrenheit (about 27 Celsius and yes, I had to convert that in the Google Calculator. I’m so metric.) It’s completely unfair and I can’t wait for winter...CONTINUE READING

Explain RSS to Your Mom!

by Susan Murphy

I love this! The other day I posed a question to the web-o-sphere – “how do I explain the power of RSS to my Mom?”. Well the web-o-sphere responded, and I got a great suggestion from theinternationale: I tend to frame RSS in terms of that old idea of the “Daily Me”. Sit down at...CONTINUE READING

To Procrastinate or to Incubate?

by Susan Murphy

Thursday Bram over at lifehack.org published an interesting post today about Fake Deadlines. It’s all about how to create deadlines for yourself where none exist (eg. a client that says “just get it done whenever!”). I’m sure we all know people who say things like that. It makes it hard to get motivated and easy...CONTINUE READING

Public Editing: Many Heads are Better than One

by Susan Murphy

Timothy Ferriss, best-selling author of The Four Hour Work Week, has a great idea. He is engaging his readers as editors of the next edition of his book (due out in 2008 or 2009). How is he doing it? He’s published a wiki where people can login and make suggestions for new content, updated information...CONTINUE READING

Oh, Canada! My snowy, blustery Canada!

by Susan Murphy

It is said that Canada is the only country that measures distance in the number of hours it takes to drive there. It’s true! From Ottawa, Toronto is 5 hours away, Sudbury is 6 hours away, Montreal is 2 hours away…and so on. Does this mean that in the winter, Toronto is further away? Because,...CONTINUE READING

The Best Gift of All

by Susan Murphy

When I was a kid, I used to get SO excited about Christmas. It wasn’t just about Santa’s visit for me, although that of course, was a big part of it. I remember one year I asked Santa for a big, stuffed Garfield (It was the 80’s. Garfield was HOT). Thinking back, it wasn’t even...CONTINUE READING

Zen and the Art of Playing Guitar

by Susan Murphy

My fingers are numb. But it’s a good numb. Tonight, for the first time in over a year, I looked over at my lonely, dusty little red Fender guitar and I think it actually spoke to me. “Susan, pick me up…dust me off…play me badly…I don’t care!” And I did it. I dug out the...CONTINUE READING

I have been out of the online community loop for the past few weeks, and I’m sitting here trying to figure out why it happened. OK, so I’ve started a full time business, and yes, we’re very busy already…but is that any excuse? If anything I should be writing all the time, telling of my...CONTINUE READING
