Chrome v. Firefox – The Container and The Desktop
In: Browsers| Technology| The Web| Web Performance| Work
4 Sep 2008The last two days of using Chrome have had me thinking about the purpose of the Web browser in today’s world.

These applications, that on [...]
Back in Alberta. Back with my Tribe.
In: Life
20 Jun 2008My grandmother died a few months back, and while this was indeed a very sad day for all of us, she left on her own terms, and with her mind intact, facing the next adventure with grace and dignity.
What this sad event did is provide a focus for the entire Pierzchala clan to reconvene for [...]
The fading of blogging
13 Apr 2008Through 2007, the number of posts I made per day/week/month decreased steadily. I know post new items 2-3 items a month, or less. After 2 years of steady entries, I just didn’t have anything to add to the conversation.

For me, this is usually not an issue, as I can huddle up in a corner with my wireless connection and while away the hours [...]

In: Immigration
17 Dec 2007Landed in the US on a one-day business trip today. The family is enjoying Christmas with the grandparents in Victoria, BC, and I need to work remotely to cover the time.
I flew into Seattle for a one-day trip, with my brand-new Advanced Parole documents. Figured it would be speedy.
90 minutes later, they let someone who [...]
