In the past, it was a bit of hacker’s fest to get GMail to be your default email provider in Chrome.  Now it is simple as going to chrome://settings/handlers and making GMail the default for all your mailto links.  Make sure you have the latest version of Chrome.  You can check for the latest by going to the about box in Chrome where it will check for the latest updates if they are available.  Btw, checking for updates in the about box is a brilliant idea.

The Canucks do a real good job engaging their fans with tweetups (@VanCanucks) and with their Facebook page.

Here are my top 3 Canucks hits on YouTube:

1. Kyprios – How the West Was One

2. Terell Safadi – Black Red Yellow

3. Grand Daddy P feat The Green Men – Towel Power (2011 Canucks Playoff Song)

Nazara’s first field trip was to The Apple Barn in Abbotsford where we took a hay ride tour to see the pumpkin patch and apple trees as well as check out the petting barn.  Weather did not cooperate but this is an excellent trip to take your kids on.  Highly recommend it (without the rain).

The cloudy weather we’ve been having in the month of June served as the backdrop to these outdoor pictures. Phil did some photo editing using Lightroom on his Mac. He uploaded the pics onto the SmugMug website which has a real nice interface for photo sharing.
