I have watched many software program demos at conferences, some great, some good, and some so-so. I'm just not one who gets distracted by the latest shiny new object.

Sometimes food recipes can have the same name, but be completely different. Poutines from Québec have popped up on many menus lately (they are like nachos in the 1990s). When I think of poutines, I think of the more familiar Acadian version of my ancestors. They are an acquired taste. #genchat
