Recently, Samsung Canada sent me their new Galaxy Gear smartwatch (in black) and the recently updated Galaxy Note 3 smartphone (also in black) to try out. I’ve been using them together for a while now, with the Note 3 being my primary cell phone paired with the Gear smartwatch. After about two weeks of usage,…
Last Friday I had the chance to be a guest at the London Drugs Retail Tech trade show in Whistler. This private event has been going on for 24 years which brings many technology vendors under one roof for the staff at London Drugs to learn about the new products ahead of the holiday season….

It’s always fun explaining the technology to people and showing off the output from my printers. Thanks for the opportunity, Ricky!
This morning I brought some 3D Printers down to Global BC’s Morning News show. A compilation video of the segments is above. It was a lot of fun sharing the 3d prints with Sophie Lui & Steve Darling (and the rest of the crew). I printed a few iPhone cases for them along with the…
