I’m a huge retro videogame fan…I play all the new games and consoles but always go back to my childhood games from the 80s. Every time I get a new gadget or computer, usually the first thing I do is see what emulators can run on it. This has also lead to me re-buying the…
This past weekend, my friends at GM Canada loaned me a red 2011 Camero convertible to drive up to Whistler to attend the Whistler Ski & Snowboard Festival, aka WSSF. Since the weather was perfect, it seemed fitting to strap the GoPro to the trunk and make a time-lapse of the trip up: The video…
This morning I had an opportunity to check out the new tablet on the block, the Blackberry Playbook from Research in Motion. Of course, I had to try the camera(s) on the Playbook (shot with the rear camera in low light): It has a 3mp front facing camera and a 5mp rear facing camera which…
Recently, my friends at LG loaned me a couple of their new smartphones running Microsoft’s latest mobile operating system, Windows Phone 7. The one on the left, the LG-C900B (aka the LG Quantum) has a slide out keyboard and the one on the right is the LG-E900h (aka LG Optimus 7) which is a full…
During our recent roadtrip to Austin, Texas, I was able to try out the new Extreme Pro SDHC UHS memory cards from Sandisk. As far as I know, these are the fastest SHDC cards out there (technically they aren’t out in Canada until mid-April) with a whopping 45 MB/s read/write speed (300x) with the new…
During the recent Twestival at the Vancouver Lookout, I played around with the iPad 2 camera and photobooth using the kalidescope mode. I think the results turned out pretty cool, if not a little Inception-esque. Being on top of Vancouver probably helped too: The Seabus couldn’t escape either: Even night shots turned out pretty interesting:…
I’ve been shooting with Olympus’ new Micro four thirds camera system, called the PEN, for a few months now. I started with the E-PL1 camera and then in early February, got my hands on the E-PL2 camera. I was even able to get E-PL2’s for my entire team to use while on our SXSW roadtrip….
I finally got around to jailbreaking my Kindle 3. Why? Because you can replace the default ‘screensaver’ images of authors that the Kindle normally displays when you turn it off to anything you like: It’s very easy to do. Follow the tutorial (with downloads) on this site. You can make your own screensavers or browse…
And like that, the craziest roadtrip I’ve ever been on is over. We got back to Vancouver late Sunday afternoon. It was an emotional farewell to the EhTeam as we all went our separate ways after spending the better part of two weeks together in a Chevy Traverse driving nearly 8500 kilometers as we drove…
I was originally going to do one giant SXSW wrap up post but figured a few things warranted their own posts. The first of these posts is about a party/event that I was invited to and hosted by Nikon and Vimeo called Light After Dark. In quite possibly one of the coolest venues I’ve ever…
