It’s the beginning of the Labour Day weekend and along with the many families getting ready for the first day of school, I’m sure that there are just as many people planning on getting out of the city for the next few days; myself included.
As soon as the clock strikes 4pm, I’m planning on dashing [...]

What’s your city’s traffic personality?
Letting in a bit of unwanted advice.
The other day I was having dinner with a good friend of mine and we were discussing some of the recent changes in my job. I’ve been in my new job for about one month now and there have been many changes that have taken place.
Our conversation turned to some words of wisdom that people have [...]
Someone’s got a case of the Mondays!
This morning, a particularly difficult Tuesday morning (since yesterday was a holiday, so it felt even more like a Monday), I sat at my computer at work staring blankly at the screen.
My to-do list had grown again since last Friday, and all I could think about was how much I’d rather still be in bed. [...]
What do you want?
It’s been about 6 weeks now since I’ve started my Circus School classes and I’m really loving being able to jump around, test my physical limits and re-learn old tumbling skills. Like I mentioned in my post about about “Never Going to the Gym Again!“, after being away from any sort of gymnastics training for [...]
Wii Fit: popular but hard to find!
Lots of people have been talking about the Wii Fit, which came out at the end of May in North America. While the popularity has been great for Nintendo, it’s certainly made it difficult for any Wii fans to get the newest Wii peripheral.
That hasn’t stopped people from using the Wii Fit to some creative [...]
Never going to the gym again!
Yes, you read it correctly. I’ve decided never to go to the gym again…sort of.
After paying monthly membership fees for a year to one of the larger exercises facilities in Toronto, I decided to cancel my membership when I realised that I could count the number of times I actually went to the gym over [...]
Dofollow: your reward for a comment!
While working on a new design for Healthy Simplicity, I’ve decided to implement Do Follow, a plugin that removes the ‘nofollow’ attribute from the URL a commenter provides.
While there’s quite a bit of debate about the ‘nofollow’ attribut, and whether it’s effective or not, I wanted to provide a small thank you for those commenter’s [...]
Upgraded to WordPress 2.5.
Just a quick note to let you know that Healthy Simplicity has been upgraded to WordPress 2.5. The newest version provides a few new great features (the management interface has been dramatically redesigned to give the administrator a much better dashboard, where you can see everything at a glance).
Another great feature of WordPress 2.5 is [...]
Happy holidays!
This time of year is not always filled with laughter and cheer, and can instead be a stress-filled, financially and emotionally draining time. Remember that the word “No” can be a friend and ally when you feel like you need to re-establish your boundaries and regroup. This is a time for family, but [...]
When my problem becomes your problem.
I came across an article yesterday about parents of students at an elementary school in Toronto who have complained to the Ontario Human Rights Commission that the failure of the school to screen children’s lunches for known allergens is a form of discrimination against those with a disability.
I have to wonder where the line between [...]
