During the holidays, I came across a boxing day deal for the Eye-Fi Pro X2 8GB wireless SD card. I’ve written about these Eye-Fi cards before but this is a much newer version with some key differences that address the previous model’s shortcomings. These memory cards are unique in that in addition to being memory…
I got to see something today that really impressed me…and that takes a lot. The folks at northStudio360 have been working on some very cool 360° video technology and showcased their latest project today. Working with the stunning Nimmo Bay Resort (I haven’t been), which is a heli-adventure and fly fishing lodge on Vancouver Island,…
I first heard about Arduino from a friend that was learning about them in her industrial design class at the Emily Carr Institute and finally picked up my first one towards the end of August: I ended up giving a talk about Arduino at BarCamp Vancouver in November…more of a geeky show and tell really…
Earlier this year, I bought an iPad which I thought would be the end all, be all as far as portable computing/reading was concerned. One device to rule them all and all that. Well, I was wrong. Yup. You read correctly, the iPad isn’t the only device you need….if you want to read books that…
Not really a rant, not a real wishlist but as I approach my 40th birthday next month, I thought I’d come up with a few things that I’d love to get…and I have a feeling some of you will want the same. So here’s my short list, in no particular order, which I may add…
Yesterday, at the World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC), Apple unveiled the latest version of the iPhone: You should watch the design video if you haven’t already seen it…it’s quite the update that I of course am looking forward to getting. Unfortunately, as of this writing, we still don’t know when the new model will be…
As I mentioned previously, iCaved during the iPad launch weekend and drove down to Seattle and picked up a 32gb wifi iPad. My decision to drive across the line to get one was further justified (to me) by the fact that Apple then had to delay the international release of the iPad over a month…
Over the last couple of months, I’ve been lucky enough to have a few different Android handsets for review. This started late last year with the LG Eve handset (running an older version of Android) followed by the Motorola Milestone (aka Droid) running 2.0.1 version of Android: I’ve made a few serious attempts at using…
Yes, I decided to head down to the Apple Store in the Alderwood Mall today and get my own 32gb Wifi iPad (for realz): My original plan was to wait for the 3G model but then I realized that it’s highly unlikely that the cellular carriers in Canada will offer a compelling data option…specifically I…
I was given the chance to play around with Motorola’s latest Google powered Android phone, the Milestone (aka the Droid in the US). I’ve only had it for a few days so it’s too early for a review but thought I’d post a couple of thoughts about my initial impressions and also see what you…
