Outsourcing IT

In a recent article I read regard outsourcing IT is said that the IT outsourced mark looks to make a come back in Q4. Well that is really good news for my company (www.ithelpcrew.com), we offer on-site and remote IT support to small business and home users for as little as $99/year. We have noticed an increase in request and site visits but I’m not sure if I can attribute that to the economy slowly beginning a turn around or our marketing and advertising effort and would like to think the latter because then it justifies my spending.

As we grow my plan is to maintain our support services in Canada, possibly moving out of the downtown area of Toronto out to some place like Nova Scotia, but that’s in the future. I strongly believe in keeping as many Canadians employed as possible in order to become a big part of the engine that will turn the world economy around.

I think with the powerful applications that we now have available to us, remote outsourced IT is the best way for small businesses to reduce cost in their IT departments. That said there are times when on-site support is needed so small businesses must research and be assured that the remote IT company they will use has this accommodation and fits there needs exactly. I know that if ever my any of my computers were to go down for any amount of time that means I’m losing money.

yeh I’m going running tonight

yeh I’m going running tonight

Today there was a party at the club to celebrate St Pattys day…you know green beer and shamrocks or something like that. I took out the 5K group, we just took it easy as usual. The turnout was really big, lot of new runners, I guess its thanks to Facebook, I wish I could get a turnout like that for my Saturday morning runs.

If your interested in coming out just drop me a note for the details.

eating a meat pie while listen to poetry via Youtube and icing my ankle as I work. I considering running tonight..i hope my ankle will b ok

I just got back…well at 20:30, the run was fine my ankle held up and now I need to ice it before I go to bed, I think its getting better and I credit the icing and sitting on my ass all day. When will they perfect bionics, I mean God no disrespect but I…wait wtf am I saying man can never improve on Gods work. But when i was a kid I do remember thinking it would be cool to be like Steve Austin the Six million dollar man(yeh I’m that old…shut up). I dreamt of the day when they would replace all my parts with bionic parts..man i was sooo wrong. Well I was pretty close with the Jetson phone…still waiting on that flying car.

Well back to the subject at hand, I have not a clue how I injured my ankle, all I can think of is that I injured it when I was training and doing plyometrics. My plyos workout consist of a lot of jumping and thus subjecting lots of strain on my entire body starting from my ankles. Well the weather is nice and I’m thankful that my ankle is coming around so I can stop using that as an excuse and get out and run.

Ingenuine Isn’t a Word?

Ingenuine Isn’t a Word?

I’ve been using ‘ingenuine’ for years. I never thought to look it up because I was  certain it was a proper word but apparently it isn’t. I was writing something and my spell checker underlines it as incorrect, I rolled my eyes and started to cures the American dictionary that the check uses I clicked it to see what the suggested spelling was and was surprised to see so suggested spelling, hmmm off to Google to check.  Went to and checked Dictionary.com. Nope. Went to and checked Merriam-Webster. No go. I checked answer.com. zilch. Wow, ‘ingenuine’ sounds like a word but after check all these reliable sources on the inter-web-tubes-net, I must concede, it is not a word.

Ok, so ‘ingenuine’ is not a word…W.E., I must be just be spelling and saying it incorrectly, clearly there is a word that is close. What is the appropriate antonym to ‘genuine’? Ungenuine? Agenuine? Nongenuine, egenuine? No such version of ‘genuine’ exists. This antonym finder suggests ‘insincere’.

Wow….WOW, I really do hate when sense comes around the corner and smack the shit out of you.

I find some comfort or is it sadness that Google has 10,700 mentions of the word that not a word.
