I'm regularly browsing Zunior.com, checking out new music that I can play on the podcast, and I came across an interesting idea that they had: a digital box gift set where MP3s get snail mailed to you on a USB thumbdrive that you get to keep as well. I...

I am selling some vintage computers on Ebay right now. If you're in the market for some museum pieces or just looking for a better doorstop, go on and take a look at my auctions. If you're in Halifax, I'll deliver them to you for free. Just think, YOU cou...

About once a year, I go on a hunt for a pair of headphones. Last year, I picked up a Sennheiser HD570 set. I found them to be a great pair for home listening, but they're not exactly what I'd call 'portable'. I also bought some inexpensive cans for the Spin...

Last week, I bought a Motorola SLVR L7 from a guy on eBay. It's basically like the RAZR, but it's the candy bar style of phone instead of a flip phone. So far, I'm liking it. It's not that I didn't like my iMate Jasjar, but there are some obvious advantages...

This case for the Motorola RAZR makes it look like it was made by Michelin. I suppose it might also save it from a fall down the stairs: Originally posted on Saturday, 2006-10-07 at 15:28:39.

So, my brother and I are sitting in the Economy Shoe Shop, and for whatever reason, we want to get on the internet. He has a Treo 650p, and he does it easily through the Telus' CDMA network. I have a Jasjar, and I could also do it easily, if I subscribed to...

I've had my black 30 gig iPod now for a few weeks, so I figure it's about time I write something on her about it. First, let me say that the iPod is an amazing MP3 player. Its capacity and form factor are unrivaled by any other player out there. It simply h...

I just got a new monitor, and I'm very happy with it. However, as happy as I am, I am still easily made jealous when I see pictures like this.. This dude can go to hell :) I can't imagine how much all that cost...especially since it's all Apple brand stuff,...

One of the cool things about going to the PDC was the crazy deal that was announce during the keynote speech on the first day by Jim Allchin. An i-mate Jasjar, normally retailing for about US$1200 for the low, low price of US$160. And if you were one of the ...

I am posting this from a new PDA/cellphone/wi-fi device...I'm still getting used to the keyboard, or thumbboard as it seems to be. Anyway, a session on MMC 3.0 is about to start so I'll check you guys later. Frosst and I will put up some audio as well. ...

I'm looking at buying some new equipment for recording the podcast. Specifically a new mixer. The one I have only supports two microphones, and to get the guest in for the last two, I've had to pass that mic through my laptop as a preamp and it doesn't sound...

I just bought an iRiver IFP 799. It's a 1 gigabyte player that thanks to a timely firmware upgrade, windows recognizes it as a removable drive. I credit this purchase to Brent who had previously bought the 256 meg version. It's a pretty sweet player all i...

I need a computer for my living room. The one I had in my entertainment unit went tits-up the other day. It couldn't even get past the boot screen (after the POST)...sometimes it would bluescreen too! To be honest, I wasn't totally happy with it anyway; the...

I am impressed again and again with the CBC. Most recently, I became aware that CBC is offering streaming audio of their radio stations via Ogg Vorbis! I can't wait until they give up Windows Media altogether. In all seriousness, I think it is a responsib...

I have never really wanted a laptop, but I managed to get one from work in a game of chance. I started to find it very useful because I was able to work on the same computer wherever I was. Slow VPN connections were no longer really an issue. Embracing th...

Yeah! I was at the Technology museum in San Jose today and I got to ride a Segway. At first, it's not very intuative, you just feel like you're going to tip over when you lean, but you get the hang of it fairly quickly, and it becomes pretty natural. Still, ...

I love getting new pieces of electronics. It's like Christmas; the sweet smell of virgin circuit boards filling your nostrils. Last week, I went and bought myself a Palm Zire 72 as an upgrade from my Zire 71. Coincidentally, I'm also looking to sell my Zire...

I think anyone who's ever written a client/server architected program has either basked in the glory of, or pined away for, a dual monitor set up. I know that since I have had dual monitors, I just can't go back. It's just too sweet. This monitor however,...

There a couple of links from Slashdot that I found very poignant to whom I think my readers are ;) It's not plagarism if you cite your sources, right? Building a home theatre PC. Something I am currently thinking about; yeah, I have a computer that's hook...

So, Eastlink recently started offering a new set-top box that can decode and display HDTV. "Why is this significant to me?" you may ask? "Well", I would answer, "HDTV is not only the most significant update to television as we know it since black and white g...
