Welcome to the PlateSpin Cool Solutions Community

Technology used to be incredibly intimidating. My mother still refuses to watch a dvd on her own for fear of breaking something. For her, technology has always been the realm of computer scientists and engineers. Those gadgets weren’t made for her in mind, so she didn’t spend much time with them...

I still find myself in a bit of a post-holiday daze and while digging myself out of the pile of work I need to catch up on, I've decided to post something that might actually be useful for once :)

Not that I ever do this ;) but if you think about the process to download a movie. To do it for free, I first have to find the files from a torrent tracking portal. Then I have to know how to use a download client. Next I have to check the file is what I want, as well as scan it for any malware. If I’ve done all this correctly I can watch my movie, and even then with my luck the quality is probably terrible. My wife on the other hand actually values her time, so she uses Netflix. All she does is browse their catalog and have the movie stream in near real time; they even have HD!

Outside my window the city of Toronto has decided to dig up the road to resurface King Street. As much as the noise and dust is a nuisance, really the biggest inconvenience this has created is the massive detour that I now have to get to the sandwich shop across the street. It’s only about 30 feet away, but thanks to the construction and related barricades, it’s now a journey of almost 4 blocks.
