What It's Like to Have an iPhone for the First Time

I've read a lot of articles over the years about the iPhone and the crazy sales figures that made Apple into the world's most valuable company and brand. They have loyal and dedicated customers, but I was never one of them. While the battle raged on between Apple's iOS smartphones and Google's Android smartphone, I've been on the sidelines as "dumbphone" user. It's only just a couple of years ago that I started using smartphones (Android).

Montreal: Holder Restaurant Review

If you are looking for a French bistro style restaurant in Old Montreal, Holder fits the bill. It's is casual trendy restaurant where the food is good enough, and not terribly overpriced compared to many other places like this in Montreal.

After some looking around, I ended up gambling big time (if you believe the online reviews out there) on this Samsung Over-The-Range Microwave (SMH1816S). There's really not many (actually, pretty much no other alternatives) in a similar price range if shopping around Montreal. The lack of any other decent options is why I ended up with this unit.

Zojirushi CD-WBC30 Water Boiler and Warmer Review

Never owned a water boiler/warmer before and picked up the Zojirushi CD-WBC30 Micom Water Boiler and Warmer model as it was reasonably priced. I'm still surprised to see that something that seems as simple as this can easily go up and beyond $200. But that's life I guess. It's a product that's geared towards heavy tea or hot chocolate drinkers. It's clearly a luxury/convenience product, one that you want to last for a long time.
