  • Want 3DTV? Get HDMI 1.4!

    One thing that’s not so obvi­ous when you’re look­ing at buy­ing a 3DTV is that some of the back­ground tech has been enhanced too, not just your TV screen. …more This post is an excerpt from one of my weekly posts on the Future Shop Techb­log. Check out the full post here.

  • The screen is just one piece of the puzzle in 3DTV

    3DTV is a new TV tech­no­logy that’s being embed­ded in today’s flat-screen TV sys­tems. But a 3D cap­able TV is only one piece of the tech puzzle you need to exper­i­ence 3D. …more This post is an excerpt from one of my weekly posts on the Future Shop Techb­log. Check out the full post here.

  • 3D will be in the next TV you buy

    If you’re out look­ing for a new TV, you’ll have seen bro­chures, ads and video hyp­ing 3DTV. All the major man­u­fac­tur­ers have developed, or are devel­op­ing 3DTV screens, and there’s no indic­a­tion that they’re going to be drop­ping 3D from their product lineup any­time soon. …more This post is an excerpt from one of my…

  • A little bit about 3D TV Glasses

    A couple of weeks ago I had the good for­tune to be invited to take an exclus­ive look at a bunch of new Sam­sung tech that Future Shop will be rolling out over the next few weeks and months. Of course, the big buzz at the winter Con­sumer Elec­tron­ics Show was 3D, so that’s what…

  • Where’s Waldo?

    This week I star­ted using Gowalla — a check-in application/game for mobile devices sim­il­ar to Foursquare, which means noth­ing if you’ve not used FourSquare either…so let me explain. …more This post is an excerpt from one of my weekly posts on the Future Shop Techb­log.

  • Finally. If it’s Friday then it’s time for a video.

    Earli­er this week OK Go par­ted ways with their record label in order to have more cre­at­ive and pub­lish­ing con­trol over their music videos. Short ver­sion — EMI was not let­ting their videos be pub­lished through You­Tube. Longer ver­sion and over­view at Fast­Com­pany. Since that rela­tion­ship has ended, the fol­low­ing link to the You­Tube video…

  • Write a comment, win a prize!

    I’ve been a fan of Click­free backup sys­tems for a while now. Drop­dead simple and effect­ive for most home usage. Well now the kind folks at Click­free have giv­en me the oppor­tun­ity to share the love, so to speak, in the form of a con­test, my first, in fact. All the gory details are here, but…

  • Another day, another video

    Who is @laryssaw and why does she have this fix­a­tion on ‘The Most (fill in the blank) Man in the World’ videos? She sent me a new one (below) one earli­er today, and this unfor­get­table gem from last week. Steve Nash is the most ridicu­lous man in the world Oh, and be nice to Laryssa, she’s…

  • More Muppet Music Madness

    A few weeks ago I linked to the awe­some Bohemi­an Rhaps­ody You­Tube video (check it out if you missed it), and now, here’s two more HD music vids with one of my favour­ite  Mupp —  Beak­er. Enjoy. Ode To Joy (HD) Beak­er­’s Bal­lad (HD)

  • Did the Monkey steal the crown?

    Last year I del­cared Song­bird, the multi-plat­form media play­er and organ­izer the Best Music Play­er Ever. Now, there’s a chal­lenger for the title, at least in the Win­dows / PC arena; Media­Mon­key. …more This post is an excerpt from one of my weekly posts on the Future Shop Techb­log.

  • Brad’s first blog contest — backup horror stories

    And we’re done. I’ve received some excel­lent entries in the Backup Hor­ror Story con­test. Give ’em a read below, and feel free to add your com­ments too. And of course, feel free to share your hor­ror story too, but sadly, this con­test is closed.  Wel­come to the first (of hope­fully) many con­test I’d like to…

  • Amazing iPhone playlist generator thingie

    I suck at mak­ing playl­ists for my iPod touch. I simply can­’t be bothered — and yeah, I nev­er really got into mak­ing mix tapes back in the day either. Which is why I was pleas­antly sur­prised that I’m start­ing to really rock playl­ists, thanks to Mood­A­gent, a cool iPhone app I dis­covered using Chomp. Simply…
