  • This is the week that was…

    Lots of dis­ap­point­ment this week, all of it kinda inter­est­ing. Van­ish­ing data, Sneaky plu­gin-patches, and a Fal­con that did­n’t fly. This post is an excerpt from one of my weekly posts on the Future Shop Techb­log. Check out the full post here.

  • Apple missed an opportunity

    Hard to believe, but I think so. The iPhone and iPod Touch are amaz­ing devices…with one obvi­ous deficiency. This post is an excerpt from one of my weekly posts on the Future Shop Techb­log. Check out the full post here.

  • Small steps, small cups

    Since this is Blog Action Day, I thought I’d take a look at how I per­ceive my morn­ing routine is impact­ing cli­mate change — no real hard sci­ence here, but just my ped­es­tri­an per­spect­ive on  my poten­tial impact on the planet.My think­ing may be wrong-headed in places (please let me know) but this post is…

  • It was a dark and stormy morning

    It’s been said that the best cam­era is the one you have with you — heck it’s even the title of a book on iPhone photography. Which makes sense, because you can eas­ily stumble across a nifty scene, as I did here, and not be able to cap­ture it if you don’t have a cam­era…

    Ok, Thanks­giv­ing is over and we are now in the long peri­od between tur­key-day and Christ­mas. In case you’d not noticed, vari­ous PR and Mar­ket­ing agen­cies have ramped up their efforts on behalf of the man­u­fac­tur­ers they rep­res­ent to gain your atten­tion for the upcom­ing hol­i­day sea­son. What’s a shop­per to do??! This post is an…

  • Sometimes, tech just p*$$#$ me off!

    Or, how I spent my Thanks­giv­ing hol­i­day Monday. Read on, and find out how good tech can some­times turn into a turkey. This post is an excerpt from one of my weekly posts on the Future Shop Techb­log. Check out the full post here.

  • This is the week that was…

    Google Maps gain two new fea­tures. Rogers gains two new com­pet­it­ors. Microsoft makes two office apps free…sort of. This post is an excerpt from one of my weekly posts on the Future Shop Techb­log. Check out the full post here.

  • A first quick look at Google Wave

    In one word, inter­est­ing.  To quote from the Google Wave team: A “wave” is equal parts con­ver­sa­tion and doc­u­ment, where people can com­mu­nic­ate and work togeth­er with richly format­ted text, pho­tos, videos, maps, and more. But what’s not said, is that it’s a col­lab­or­at­ive envir­on­ment. In oth­er words, without a group to com­mu­nic­ate with, Google Wave…
