My first truly designed 3d printed object! Kinda. I have created other things (mostly font based objects) but this is the first thing I literally sketched out and ended up with a physical object. It’s taken awhile to finally get up to speed on all the different tools and techniques required to do this (and…
Bad jokes about the name aside, I’ll be ordering an iPad just as soon as they are available: I’ll probably order the 32gb model with 3G radio. Not 100% sure I’d use the 3G network option but I’d rather have the option…especially since it’s unlocked – which is a big deal by the way. This…
Today, Apple announced a number of new things at it’s “Let’s Rock” event and I have to say, I was a little surprised and disappointed. First of all, new iPod Nanos were revealed. Not really that surprising as the spy photos and rumour leaks were pretty strong this time around. I SO don’t need the…
While catching up on my RSS feeds via Google Reader, I saw that Google has greatly expanded the theme options for their personalized homepage called iGoogle. I really like iGoogle for a couple of reasons: it’s cross browser/platform so it works fine on my work PC running Firefox or (shudder) IE or any of my…
I really wanted to do a proper, long and detailed wrapup post for SXSWi but I’m not going to because there was just so much going on and it’s still digesting in my mind what transpired in Austin. That and I’m really tired due to a day at the airport, flight delays and BBQ withdrawal….
I finally received my Moo cards that I had ordered at the beginning of February. This was my third batch and it was strangely the only one to take a really long time to arrive. I wonder if it had anything to do with an influx of orders from people getting them for SXSW which…
I think I have a problem. Is it weird for a guy to like gadget bags? I think I have a bag/pouch/container for just about everything gadget I own. I guess I like to protect my stuff. I especially like Crumpler bags. The latest one I bought a few months back was the Crumpler Keystone…
After picking up a new ginormous hard drive on boxing day (think Black Friday in the US, only much lamer), I went about adding it to my Powermac G5 tower (aka my server). For some reason, Apple always does things different than other computer manufacturers and the process of upgrading the hard drive is no…
A coworker sent this to me and I’m sure it’s been around forever and I just saw it for the first time but I thought it was cool so here it is. Take a look at the following image: Which way is the dancer turning? If clockwise, then you use more of the right side…
I attended the Vancouver Canucks Tailgate party and new uniform launch thingy at GM Place today. It was nice to jump on the seabus and get out of the office for a bit. Of course they picked seemingly the hottest day of the summer so far to do it. There were a lot of people…
