CafePress has gone Canadian. Yup, they’ve launched a CafePress website “localized for the Canadian market.” When you surf to CafePress, you’ll see a little flag at the top of their website with an arrow beside it. If you mouse over that arrow, you can choose from Canada, Australia, UK, and US Worldwide. Sweet! Canadians can…

My Second Brain, My Palm
Surrogate Memory. That’s the title of Judy Steed’s article in the November 8th Toronto Star on seniors with memory impairments using Palms. It’s apt. I called my Palm my second brain. I first checked out these nifty handheld devices when we bought my regular biennial computer back in 1999. But as Normand, my husband at…

A Week to Remember
It’s been an up and down week these past many days. My brain has been healing rapidly, which is good, but has been throwing me into chaos as it drags me away from my routine in search of rediscovered abilities, not so good. I had to organize myself again to take into account my new…

CN Tower Over the Valley Inspires a CafePress Calendar
I’ve discovered two things this week: I really need an audiovisual entrainment session to get me writing on my blogs; and creating images for CafePress is awfully addictive. I called up the ADD Centre a few days ago to catch them up on my brain’s healing — especially the recent jump in writing skills —…
Getting Acquainted with my CafePress Shop, Points North Studio
Just under a week ago, I joined CafePress as a shopkeeper. I’d thought about doing it a few months ago, researched it and its competitors, sunk into a quagmire of indecision, and then the Olympics started. Last week, a friend of mine reminded me of CafePress, and I started up the shop. It’s been an…
