"TO SHI BA" !!!!!!

Just as the word "Kamikaze" struck fear and terror into the hearts of the allied forces during World War II, now should the equally terrifying word "Toshiba" make you want to jump into the nearest foxhole cowering with abject horror . Kamikaze meant suicide or divine wind....Toshiba makes one want to commit hari kari after their fateful purchase.
Yes folks, after just two years of owning my 2,000 dollar HDTV (Horribly Disgusting Tele Vision) the panel has gone. Not even Toshibas authorized dealer will come out to look at it. Seems they new right away what the problem was and wished me "good luck". Those wonders of the customer service world whom Toshiba Canada hired to supposedly appease the masses haven't done diddly squat for me since my first attempt at contacting them back in May.
Attempts at communicating via their Facebook page have been as equally unproductive. But I do believe I got a head bob or two along with a bow. Appears also that I'm not the only one out there who has been left to do the paying customer death march. I've read dozens of complaints about the effectiveness of Toshiba's support. This is just my opinion, but did Toshiba executives go to the same dojo of higher learning as Toyota? Are they all sitting on the same pile of money somewhere smiling and playing BattleShip?
When the time comes for your next purchase using your hard earned money.....take my word for it, go Samsung...
Until my next post.....have a Toshiba-less day.

One of those days

Yup we do have em.....one of those days you remember for the rest of your life. This morning I woke up after a lousy nights sleep which is normal for me. I was facing Monday, dark and dismal Monday with no particular events to look forward to. So I went about my business, emails...dishes...mundane tasks and before I knew it the day was almost over, then it happened......
I went to see my editor because I write (free of charge) for the local paper and I was offered a paying gig, my first official paid article!....one dream down and its only 3:00 p.m.!
Next I got home to check my emails and there it is....dream number two (well not quite but it may happen). My stock photography site that I send my photos to tells me that a MAJOR U.S. magazine is interested in one of my Algonquin Park photos (enter smiley symbol here). This one is huge folks. I've wanted to make a living from photography since I saw Ansell Adams on a documentary at the age of nine (me, not him). Truth is, even if I dont get the contract for the shot, just being considered is enough. Hey, imagine what I might do with some photography training.........what the hell is focal length anyways?
