The Futureshop crazy extended warranty has come through for me for a second time. The first time, I ended up bringing back a laptop because the battery wouldn't charge anymore. This time, 6 years (the warranty was good until 2009) after I bought it, I took b...

Through Jeff MacArthur, via Mike Lazazzera, I bring you the funniest video I've seen this year. It's a fantastic spoof of those classic Hinterland Who's Who videos that always used to run on TV when you were a kid. A few years ago, I wanted to see if my co...

Word on the street is that the first four episodes from 24 Season 6 (not intended to be aired until the 14th of January) have been leaked onto the intarweb. Now, should you choose to seek to obtain said episodes, that is your business, and even if I knew ho...

Hopefully, the Noodle Nook on Blowers Street is finally going to open after a lengthy time when nothing was visible inside the place. When I walked by yesterday, however, I noticed some actual woks inside. Maybe that means something? Originally post...

If you're using iTunes to download your podcasts, have you ever had it crash, or otherwise screw up your library of music? Chances are, you didn't lose your actual music, you just had to re-add it to your library. But what about your podcast subscriptions? ...

I gotta say, on the whole, I'm quite pleased with this .NET Framework that Microsoft has provided us with to develop software with. It's not often that I find something worth complaining about. But this is one of those times. One of the cool features of ....

I don't get sick very often, but because of that, when I do get sick, I hate it that much more. In retrospect, I felt this particular sickness coming on a few days in advance, but I was reluctant to admit that I was getting sick, and if I heeded the statistic...

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...

In case you weren't clicking 'reload' on the page as much as I was, looking for this week's episode of commandN, it came online just moments ago. My segment starts at about 2 minutes in. Originally posted on Tuesday, 2006-12-05 at 14:49:14.

I'm surprised I'm the first one to post about this. Maybe the rest of you are still stuck in traffic. More people should do audio posts...It's very therapeutic. As you might expect, this audio is loaded with expletives. Handle with care. Originally post...

I'm sure that some of you know that in addition to Spine Radio, I also do a music podcast for Zunior.com. This month, I produced a mostly-holiday-themed episode that you might enjoy. Don't worry, it's not overly sappy sweet with holiday cheer...I don'...

I'm killing myself waiting for this show. Go check out Windom Earle tonight at Stage Nine or you'll regret it. I mean it. They rocked the house at the Sappy Records Music Festival, and they'll rock the house again, I'm sure of it. Originally posted on ...

The worst thing about MySpace isn't the ugliness of the site. It isn't the fact that it's horribly slow. For anybody who uses tabbed browsing regularly, it's got to be the music player that starts playing as soon as the page loads. I can appreciate the us...

Jeff MacArthur, one of the co-hosts of commandN came by my house tonight to film a segment about audio podcasting for their next episode. Jeff does the techTIPS segment for commandN, and along with his sister Amber MacArthur, and a few friends, they...

Who would have thought that they could improve on the condom? I mean, everybody knows they suck, but they do the job, right? I must admit, I haven't thought about it much myself, but you wouldn't think there was much room to advance in prophylactic technol...

For anyone who doesn't typically read the Spine Radio blog, I'm posting this on the main page because in this week's show I'm giving away two free passes to the Shotgun and Jaybird show on December 9th. You're dumb if you don't try and go. My company holid...

Body parts are like remote controls: They cost almost nothing to produce, but they're very expensive to replace. Originally posted on Thursday, 2006-11-23 at 16:13:36.

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...

Somebody managed to get away with video-taping the Trailer Park Boys on stage with Guns'n'Roses. Axl actually sings a couple of verses of "Liquor and Whores" with Bubbles. Cool shit. Originally posted on Thursday, 2006-11-23 at 00:33:56.

I recently upgraded to IE 7 thanks to Windows Update. I thought everyone could benefit from something that I noticed after I started using it for a while. The machine I upgraded was the one I use to record the Spine Radio and Zunior.com Podcasts on. If yo...
