Google, Day One

Google, Day One
Monday, June 16, 2008
/ Technology

I feel like writing a blog entry right now about as much as I feel like putting a spinning drill-bit into my temple. But I really wanted to jot down some of my thoughts from today before I passed out.
There’s a group of seven of us down in Mountain View right now. The [...]

iPhone Or Bust?

iPhone Or Bust?
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
/ Failures, Technology

My mom used to always say that somethings in life seem to happen for a reason. Surprisingly, she’s been right most of my life, and the strangest things sometimes happen to me that end up pushing me down a path that turns out to be a good one.
While camping this weekend, my Samsung A880 [...]

Clearly Not Everyone Likes Rogers

Clearly Not Everyone Likes Rogers

Jay from Giant Ant Media just emailed me a few awesome YouTube videos they did with regards to Roger’s customer service. I thought I’d share them with everyone, because they’re a riot.

Given the content of my last post, I think these are particularly relevant.

Roger’s Wireless And The Canadian iPhone

Roger’s Wireless And The Canadian iPhone
Wednesday, June 4, 2008
/ Apple & All Things Mac, Technology

I missed the boat on the first round of Canadian iPhone action last year mainly because I was (quite stupidly) locked into a crazy Bell Mobility contract. The current consensus of the rumour mill is that Apple is gearing up to announce the 3G version of the iPhone on June 9th, which would [...]

QR Codes

QR Codes
Wednesday, May 14, 2008
/ Technology

I read an article this morning that made mention of QR codes, and to be honest, I had never heard of them before. After doing some research, it appears that QR codes are essentially two-dimensional bar-codes that are fairly popular in Japan. A user with a camera phone can simply point their phone [...]

Ode To Google Reader

Ode To Google Reader
Sunday, April 27, 2008
/ Around The Web, Technology

I’ve been using Google Reader as my main RSS reader for some time. For the most part, I’m pretty happy with it. They’ve recently added the ability to share items, which makes it far more interesting.
The one thing I’d love to see though is the ability to add local comments on those [...]

The End Of Microsoft Windows

The End Of Microsoft Windows
Saturday, April 12, 2008
/ Apple & All Things Mac, Technology

Yesterday I read a really interesting article about the end of Windows as we know it. I can’t say that I disagree with that assessment at all.
As many of you know, Windows Vista was basically my sole reason for moving to a Mac last year. I had installed it on my Toshiba [...]

Stop Drinking The Google Kool-Aid People

Stop Drinking The Google Kool-Aid People
Wednesday, April 9, 2008
/ News, Technology

Ok, I’m going to go into rant mode. Why is everyone so enamored with Google these days? I read yesterday about their recent Google App Engine, and didn’t really see anything that particularly turned my crank.
I’ve been bouncing around the web today reading what people are saying, and for the most part, [...]
