I’m an excitable, Canadian nerd and Microsoft fan girl who loves sharing her opinion on all things technology.
When I’m not “turned up to eleven” over the latest feature in Microsoft OneNote or Office 365, I’m hanging out with my husband Rick, our son Alvin, and our cat Butters.

Why is the Blog called “Oh! 365, eh?”:
The Oh! is a playful dig at my habit of exclaiming out loud (at a volume equal to an amplifier turned up to 11) upon discover a new feature in Office 365.
The 365 refers to both Microsoft Office 365 and my year-round use of technology.
The eh? is a shout out to being Canadian.
