Apple had their

 WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference) event earlier. iPhones are getting a bit bigger. new improvements on the hardware. i0s 26 coming out next month. Nothing really new

The Hank McCune Show, a sitcom that debuted on this day in 1950, had the distinction of being the first TV program to make use of 'canned laughter' the noxious pre-recorded laughs often dubbed into a soundtrack. 

As a kind of preview of Y2K, it was feared that the date 9/9/99 would cause problems for computers as some data systems used the digits 9999 to mark the end of a file. I remember working security guard work in the West end on New Years eve 1999 doing the graveyard shift, worried if my computer would activate, when I got home. Sure enough it did. LOL 

Not much going on this week. Sometime later this month our seniors residence is organizing a bus trip to the Wetaskiwin museum Might be fun. Anyway, that's all for now.
