For those of you still following “Ianism,” and those that might be interested (if you have a business website, you should be), we’ve published an in-depth article on website speed issues. We’re seeing so many “new” web development agencies come along that really have no clue about the importance of website speed, image sizes, correct …
Many years ago, I had a popular website and blog that focused on winemaking. Back then, there were probably half a dozen websites devoted to the hobby and art of winemaking including Jack Keller’s site (which sadly seems to be offline now). While not an expert at home winemaking (you’ll have to get in touch …
How insane can some activist academics be? Honestly, I fear for the future of my children (and grandchildren should I ever have any) with the way the world is going – and the fact there are so many so-called “educated” people who obviously have little education in reality. Today, we see this more and more …
“John Christy and Roy Spencer are pro-fossil fuel and anti-scientific consensus.” ~Dana Nuccitelli I am “anti-scientific consensus” as well. In fact, blindly supporting a consensus IS anti-scientific. When scientists and science “journalists” attack others for suggesting contrarian ideas, and use names such as “denier,” they are actually acting as bullies. Sometimes the only way to …
So the Government of Canada has produced a new “Food Guide” and shortly after it was released to the public, there were many journalists, dieticians, and food lovers discussing it. Personally, I think it is rather naive and just another sign of the “nanny state” attempting to influence our lives and in this case, our …

A few weeks ago, as posted, BC’s David Farrel published a video review of KirIan herbs – herbs imported from Greece. At that point, we had our Greek Mountain Tea in Canada, but our packaging was not ready yet. Now, we’re so very proud that we have been shipping for a few weeks now, and …
As many of you know, Kiriaki and I began a small “import” business, importing Greek Oregano to Canada. We’ve grown the business and now also offer Greek Saffron (considered by many gourmet chefs to be the best and most dependable in purity, and will be offering thyme and Mediterranean bay leaves (laurel) very soon. David …
Ever thought about where you’d like to be buried (assuming you want that over cremation)? This is a beautiful spot in a beautiful part of the country, not far from where I live: Mono Cemetery
Ahhh! Real genuine Greek souvlaki – honestly, there’s nothing like it anywhere else, at least that I have ever found in Southern Ontario. And one of the best you’ll get is at a restaurant in Nea Filadelfeia, a suburb of Athens, Greece. It was my first evening back in Greece (since January – and my …
Accidents happen. When you buy an expensive appliance, you would think that if you had an accident with it, replacement parts would be available. But not so for the Oster “New Horizons” coffee maker, available exclusively at Canadian Tire. I used to love shopping at Canadian Tire. I grew up on buying Canadian Tire merchandise …

After finally getting my “PC Points” all figured out some weeks (and maybe even months) of trying to get that done when Loblaws and Shopper’s Drug Mart merged their awards program, I’ve returned to Zehrs to do most of my shopping. The other day, the Zehrs store in Orangeville had some amazing specials on some …
I am pretty hard on bad cops. Bad cops deserve to have a lot of wrath thrown their way. In my own 20 year experience of “social policing” in Toronto’s housing projects, I’ve seen a lot of bad cops and a good number of really good cops. I also directly worked with some great people …

I have to admit that I’ve done little work today. After hearing the news about the Van Driver attacking and killing people on Yonge Street in the neighbourhood known as Willowdale. I have not been in that neighbourhood for some years, but when I was a child, visited often; my grandparents lived at 69 Sheppard …
Unless you are into web development, you probably won’t be interested in this post – but I’m writing it mainly for myself, so I can find this awesome tool quickly, the next time I need it. When you create a new website for someone, it’s likely the new URL’s of the site will be different …
It’s been awhile since I posted any food related stuff here. I think it’s about time for something new and fresh in that regard! During one of my visits to Greece recently, I brought back some dried white (“navy”) beans that had been grown by some relatives of my friend in their rural village. Unfortunately, …
