Monday musings: Windows 10

We seem to have a case of #Windows10NotWorkingProperlySyndrome that's taking longer to resolve than we had hoped.

We're keeping the lights on here as best we can. Please note, however, that there may be delays in responding to e-mail and social media until a definitive cure can be implemented.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Luc Langevin at "20 Minutes"

From 20 Minutes:

Combinant science et magie, Luc Langevin incarne une nouvelle génération de prestidigitateurs. Pour le Québécois, révélé dans l'émission de télévision Comme par magie, diffusée sur la chaîne ICI ARTV depuis 2009, le monde est « régi par les mathématiques, guidé par des forces indétectables à l’œil nu », qu'il utilise pour déjouer la perception des gens.

Translated using Google Translate:

Combining science and magic, Luc Langevin represents a new generation of magicians. For Quebecers, revealed in the TV show Magically, broadcast on the channel ICI ARTV since 2009 , the world is "governed by mathematics , guided by force undetectable to the naked eye," it uses to thwart the perception of people.

MAJOR NEWS - United States Playing Card Company (USPC) will be joining us as an exhibitor at the Bash. You read that right!

"I could be wrong, but the Browser's Magic Bash might be the first magic get-together IN RECENT HISTORY that U.S. Playing Card Co. has attended. How cool is that for us?!? If you like playing cards, then here's your chance to meet the most famous playing card manufacturer in the world - live in the flesh" - Lee Asher

As you can imagine, an opportunity such as this doesn't come along often. Furthermore, add twelve hours of magic, lots of fun, a free lunch & dinner, and now you'll start to understand what we mean when we say that this year's Browser's Magic Bash will be BIGGER & BETTER than the last one!
