During the global pandemic of novel coronavirus, my intellectual property (IP) and patent analysis work dried up, so I had to resort to the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB).
In 2017, as Canada marked the sesquicentennial of Canadian Confederation, I participated in the Canadian Life Hacks Contest/Conours des trucs et astuces canadiens (#CanadianLifeHacks) organized by Innovation150. I won the Grand Prize trip to Sudbury, ON, and toured the SNOLAB, a Canadian underground science laboratory specializing in neutrino and dark matter physics, where I held in my hand the genuine 23-carat gold medal for Nobel Prize in Physics 2015. I entered about 50 life hacks for the contest, but I have continued to create new life hacks and documented old life hacks that I had made over many years, reaching more than 500 life hacks so far.
I had been writing numerous articles about original ideas and concepts for many years, but I finally organized them as follows as I continue to document more and more.
I am making continuous improvement of "Hyper-biOObi: Comprehensively-Integrated Multi-Dimensional Biography & Obituary Generator from a Single Source" which generates detailed bilingual-framework versions (Biography, Obituary), abbreviated bilingual-framework versions (Bio, Obi), ultra-abbreviated unilingual-framework versions (Curriculum Vitae (English), Curriculum Vitae (Français)), and super-abbreviated unilingual-framework versions (Résumé (English), Résumé (Français)), all from single source text (bilingual English/Français side-by-side editing) with colour coding and hyper-sophisticated software algorithms.
I gave feedback to "We share in the grief and stand in support of Black community members" and "Our commitment to targeted hiring and antiracism: President's letter" with original solution, but received no response.
