It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Toronto, so a shared nod and grimace
to all those hunting for the pain medication after spending the weekend shoveling
snow and punishing those long dormant snow shoveling muscles. Eggnog is your friend.

Nexus 7 Android tablet to the

There's a lot to learn but it's worth it.
cheers,
Chris Maunder
