I headed downtown tonight to check out Third Tuesday Vancouver at the Network Hub. Jeff Young was the guest tonight speaking about many topics and their legal implications online. There was a lot of interesting discussion about copyright versus trademark, what aspects of a design can be legally owned, and the legal rights of bloggers…
I’ve been looking for a better way to use my HDTV lately. The Xbox360 (and XBox 1 running XBMC) I currently have works fine but the biggest issue I have with it, when watching any kind of media is how loud it is. Specifically the fan(s) inside it and the (now obsolete) HDDVD drive. It’s…
As in I’ve had it for 12 hours….not a 12 hour long review….although there are a lot of pictures. Obviously I haven’t had it long enough to really put it through it’s paces but here’s a bunch of photos and a few thoughts. As with all Apple products, the packaging alone is a fantastic customer…
As I expected, my MacBook Air arrived today ahead of the projected shipping time and before my friend who ordered earlier than me and paid extra for faster shipping. I did have mine shipped to the office and he had it shipped to his house in Port Coquitlam so that may have been the difference….

There is a lot going on over the next little while around town and elsewhere. Here’s just a few of the events you should check out. Tonight (Sunday, January 20th for you slow feed readers) Watch Rebecca (aka Miss604) on CBC’s Test the Nation where she (and a few other locals) ‘represents’ on the Blogger’s…
I can’t remember where I first saw it, but a long time ago I came across an article that suggested putting that old flatbed scanner to use as a camera to take interesting pictures of three dimensional objects. Doing a quick Google search turns up tons of hits on the subject but the best name…
So yesterday, I said to not buy anything from Apple because today they’d be possibly announcing some new products. Well they did indeed announce a few new things and I bought one of them, the MacBook Air: It had been long rumoured that Apple would release a sub-notebook and I had guessed that it would…
Since everyone is doing it, I thought I should do the same although I have a hard time putting them in some kind of order…so they aren’t! Here is my list of the random things from last year that stood out to me in no particular order: my iPhone – in case you haven’t noticed,…
