This website is my electronic playground and just like any plumber whose house has leaky faucets, this site is badly neglected as I spend all my time tweaking client pages, scouring the net for new technologies, watching war movies or avoiding any and all household duties.
If you got here from looking at my business card you are probably asking why the domain name chosen is manitoulinislandindex.com - the reason is I wanted to call it that. Manitoulin Island is a given because that is where I am. Index denotes the fact that I wanted this to be more than just a web design company vying for your business. My motive is to unite all the information pertaining to Manitoulin onto one site - it's as simple as that.
So if you got here through a search engine looking to find out about my fair island, I hope you'll find what you are looking for.

A little Background

If you click the picture to the right you will see where my involvement in web design began. That was a long time ago and my abilities evolved. Another thing that happened was I managed to retire from that line of work I was in without too many physical scars - the mental scars were many and I still wear them. Retirement saw me packing up and moving to beautiful Manitoulin Island, at the very top of Ontario's Great Lakes. It is often referred to as "the jewel of the great lakes". And very rightly so - I love this place and believe me when I say, "You can keep the hustle and bustle of Southern Ontario."
My name is Pat Keenan, but my computer name is POKO - something I've been called since I started in computer operations several decades ago. POKO on Your Desktop evolved years later when I first got into desktop computers.
