Cole's Notes - The Sunday Journalist

It's Summertime and the living is supposed to be easy.  But I'm up to my ears in stuff to do - and it's cutting back on the blogging time. Darn -  In the Meantime -   Here's a Book Recommendation for the folks who have time to read. Why We Make Things and Why It Matters: The Education of a Craftsman   by Peter Korn  Link:   http://amzn.com/1567925464 I'm listening to it on Audible now.

The iStudio It's taken a while - but I'm getting the new website setup over at www.istudio.ca .  It's going to be called Cooper's Place and is a little more advanced than the last one.  It's a bit of a challenge - since I'm trying to make it for mobile as well as regular web, and working on a biography at the same time. The biography is called Shooter in the City and will be showing my work and will be for sale on the site - et al.  Stay tuned for updates.

A New Year - and new additions to the Blog -  Now that I'm back in the working world again - I've rolled up my job search site and will start Blogging here again.  And since I'm working on a new design and starting to post my photographs and writing here - I've always used a Creative Commons licence for my content - but starting this year I'm going to try using © 2015. All rights reserved. for the blog. Trying to organize things here  

Well - Christmas has come and gone - and I'm taking some time to clean up my systems and stuff for the new year. Had Dinner at my Bro's and got the bachelor care package with fresh baking. Photos enclosed. Merry Christmas and Happy new year - the new Blog is a comin' - Posted to Cole's Notes by Cole Location: Sandpiper Lane NW,Calgary,Canada

With Blogging a little light lately - I've been looking into the updating of Cole's Notes and my social pages - a new thing that will be added in the new year is this: Google Online Security Blog: Are you a robot? Introducing “No CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA”

Well, I'm relaxing in the backyard, cleaning up some of the technology, and re-thinking some of my plans.  I'm enjoying the time off, and the upcoming long weekend has got me thinking of re-vamping the job search.  More quality, and less quantity.  Right now, I'm spending an inordinate amount of time online trying to apply for jobs. 

To try and get Cole's notes back up and running, I'm working on getting some new systems in place to  do the blogging.  Right now this is the Blogger application on the iPad.  So I'm going to try and Blog a couple of different ways to see which looks the best on my site. For a first try - here is a shot from the grand opening of the new Chinook Centre Microsoft Store opening.  The machine is one of the new Microsoft tablets - and I'm going to add some more shots I did of the grand opening. The new store as of 10:30 this morning.   About 5,000 people had showed up to see the grand opening - the line stretched from the store all the way to the Apple store - which seemed to please the Apple guys....
