Anti-Video Game Factions Release Scapegoat 4

Friday, November 7th, 2008

This might seem like a minor issue but today, Vancouver and Toronoto Future Shop stores are cancelling their Gears of War 2 launch festivities. Why? Because some kid in Ontario had a fight with his parents about a video game (Call of Duty 4) last month, the kid ran away from home and was recently [...]

The iPhone Has Not Revolutionized Anything

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

All this talk lately about the iPhone as a laptop replacement [READ] (pardon me while I laugh until I throw up) as a serious video game platform [READ] has led me to the conclusion that the iPhone and Communism have a lot in common. Both seem like the solutions to all life’s problems when you’re [...]

Go Bag: The BlackBerry Bold

Monday, October 13th, 2008

In part three of my four-part series of what’s in my “Go Bag”, I want to talk about my first week with the BlackBerry Bold and some common misconceptions about the device. I’ll start by saying that I’ve always been a fan of BlackBerries and if you want to read why I recommend the device [...]

Go Bag: The Sony VAIO FW Laptop Series

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

Back in July, I wrote an in-depth article about what kind of laptops I think are best for the mobile professionals [READ]. At the time of writing that article, my workhorse was a two-year old Toshiba U200 - a very portable, lightweight 12.3″ laptop. When I bought the laptop, I was spending a lot more [...]

Go Bag: 30 Hour Laptop Batteries

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

Like all self-employed professionals, I have a “go bag” with everything I need in it to get through a workday away from my home office. LifeHacker had a great post last year where readers showed off what was in their Go Bags [READ]. This posting is the first in a series of four. The next [...]

CERN LHC: The Definition of Anti-Climactic

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

Clearly, the world didn’t implode on September 10th or you wouldn’t be sitting here, reading this post. To be fair, what happened on September 10th at CERN LHC wasn’t a full-on power-up of the system with the particles and the smashing and the OY VEY! What happened on September 10th was the equivalent of some [...]

Three Good Reasons To Vote and One Really Stupid One

Monday, September 29th, 2008

In British Columbia [Map, for those not familiar with Canadian geography], we are facing three important elections in the next eight months. There’s the Canadian Federal election coming up in a few weeks, there’s the US Presidential election coming up in November and then there’s the Provincial election coming up in May, 2009. There are [...]

Back on Schedule

Friday, September 26th, 2008

It’s been a busy couple of weeks but I’m back on the horse.
My son - Logan - was born on September 16th and has been keeping my wife and I very busy. We’re just starting to get caught up on sleep and I’m due to get back to full-time work on October 6th (about a [...]

Can Someone Keep An Eye On CERN For Me Tonight?

Friday, September 12th, 2008

Tonight is the big CERN LHC/ARMAGEDDON party in Vancouver where me and 50 of my closest friends are going to tip some pints to celebrate our impending doom. The problem is that I can’t be a dilligent CERN LHC watchdog once my BAC gets over 0.08 so I need someone to keep an eye on [...]

CERN Didn’t Blow Up World Yesterday, Armageddon Now Scheduled For 2012

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

Well, I am glad that I was wrong in my dire predictions of the worlds’ doom yesterday. It’s telling that I didn’t seek vengence on my enemies without fear of retribution - maybe I didn’t believe my own predictions as much as I claimed…
Now is not the time to stop panicking. What happened yesterday was [...]
