Compare, we are, of Big Weed’s new iPhone SE vs my 2009 Sony DSC-H2, shooting in the same light, location, time, date and subject: Zoodles in Meat Ball Pasta Sauce.

Yesterday I had cooked beef meat balls in a tomato pasta sauce. Today I spiralized zucchini into pasta, hence the zoodles shootout. Making zoodles literally takes seconds and you need not cook them. BTW both of us thought the uncooked zoodles and pasta sauce, heated in the microwave for 50 seconds, were a great wheat noodle substitute.

Is my OHIP Card Still Valid?

Worried, I was, when I heard news that the older red and white OHIP cards are now invalid. This is not true. If you received a notice from OHIP that you need to renew, then do so. Otherwise there are no worries.

If you are not sure, then call the ServiceOntario INFOline at 1-866-532-3161 and ask. You may have to wait a bit, so use your phone’s headset. They will search your card number and tell you. Red and white cards are still valid.

I am an emergency room registration clerk.

I moved my Blog to DonTai.com


Today I moved my blog from dontai.Wordpress.com to my own hosting space on Site5, primarily because I wanted to experiment with the dizzying variety of themes and plugins. WordPress.com was gracious enough to host me, but I think I was about to outstay my welcome. I wanted to download themes and install plugins, which i could not do. The basic functionality was there, but flexibility was not.

I sure was not disappointed. I only got around to looking at the first 10 pages of themes, and the first 10 pages of plugins. There sure are a number of very busy WordPress themers out there.
