Will the iPhone go viral in Canada? 2008-05-09 16:50:14 After rogers announcing its iPhone
invasion to Canada
, I find myself wondering… is it all its hyped up to be?
Seems like every tech savvy person in the US has picked one up and has loved it. Personally, a slick phone with wifi, full web browser, and an abundance of 3rd party apps should be on [...]

The trek to buying a camcorder 2008-05-07 14:18:21 So in addition to looking for a gaming console, I’m looking to buy a camcorder to do some video blogs, and random outings. The products I am looking at are the following:
JVC 30GB HDD Camcorder
Panasonic SD Palmcorder
So by looking at the products, clearly the Panasonic SD Palmcorder is the least expensive, but for [...]
Why are macs so expensive? 2008-05-06 10:33:46 Well, quality comes with a price. My 12″ Powerbook came to about $2500 when i bought it - and i don’t ever regret it. The thing with macs is: you know its stable and you know it works. And it will, for a long time. They built their OS around integrating it with their specific [...]
Mayday Parade 2008-05-05 20:18:02 This is, hands down, one of the top bands on my play list, and has been for a while. This band is from Tallahassee, Florida and has blown my socks off with their diverse sound and vocal niceties. The first time I heard this band was on Idobi radio, the song was “Three Cheers [...] Read more:Mayday

Xbox 360 or PS3? 2008-05-04 21:47:07 Is the question I’ve been asking myself lately. The pros and cons are all over Google, but can you really justify dropping ~$400 because some review said so?
In my mind, you can’t really go wrong with a Blue-ray player inside your gaming console, as well as free online gaming. And it seems like PS3 is [...] Read more:Xbox
Cover songs suck! … right? 2008-05-04 16:14:52 Well, i dont think so.
During one of my youtube browsing sessions, (like some of you may do) i came across the amazing band Boyce Avenue. They have alot of covers, but their cover of “Lovestoned” by Justing Timberlake, was probably one of their best.
Check it out below!

Toronto needs to be more like Portland, free City-Wide WiFi 2008-05-11 10:38:27 I found this site this morning. Seems as portland has free city-wide WiFi
, which is amazing. Toronto
proposed a similar idea in 2006, but as it developed they are charging $29/mo for this access, which is reasonable, but only covers the 6km Downtown core.
Now if you hang out down there that is definately an amazing deal, and cheaper [...]

Talk about data recovery 2008-05-10 17:21:53 When i was scimming the news i came across an interesting story. 99% of the data from the melted hard drives of the space shuttle Columbia have been recovered. The process took 2 days to do, which included taking it apart, soaking its platters in a chemical solution and then rebuilding it into a new [...]
Sony DCR-SR45 Camcorder Review 2008-05-12 10:00:48 Now that i bought the DCR-SR45, I guess the best thing to do would be review it!
This camera is amazing, the new, sleek design fits perfectly into your hand but delivers a powerful rich picture. With native 16:9 and 4:3 recording, the HQ video is crystal clear with an amazing Carl Zeiss lens. It has [...] Read more:Sony

Summit Avenue 2008-05-14 13:14:24 Originally from Bellingham, Washington, this indie band amazed me the first time I heard them in 2006. Its unique guitar and vocal compositions make me still listen to this band today. The song “Based on a true story” got me hooked, its bare minimum implementation of drums baffles me but gives the song an intricate [...] Read more:Summit

My new Mac-ish 2008-05-18 13:09:46 After reading this article from stephenfung.net, i was inspired to put OS X on my desktop once again. I have done this in the past and it didn’t work out too well, i had some freezing issues, which i believe was because i had 8GB of ram in it and the version i have is only 32bit. Anyways, [...]
Last.fm Overlook 2008-05-18 12:07:43 I’ve recently gotten into last.fm, i didn’t really have much interest in it before since i have a pretty big music collection. The real thing that catches me about last.fm is the social community, and how they set it up to play the artist and similar artists when you search for one. This not only [...]
Household Media Evolution 2008-05-17 14:47:29 The more time i spend browsing the internet the more i am amazed at how media has evolved. 10-15 years ago you would’nt find anything close to the vast media our web is congested with now. The possibilities are endless, from adsense, to youtube, to interactive games across the internet.

Boston Pizza - Good or just expensive? 2008-05-19 13:52:09 Nowadays, restaurants and clothing stores are getting more and more expensive, but why? Because the gas prices are going higher so they figure they should step it up a bit? I think John Chow said it best when he explained the raising prices of goods in Padong, Shanghai as people wanting to spend more, just [...] Read more:Boston

Being my lazy self, I’m not going to troubleshoot this through(even though i work in IT), i will be [...]
Yet another last.fm post 2008-05-21 11:13:14 As i spend more and more time listening to Last.fm i find out more about audio scrobbling. This is such an amazing way to keep track of the music you love and you have listened to in the past. Have you ever listened to a song and then 2 hours later think to yourself “Dammit! [...]
