  • 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)

  • Four solid tech-news sites I use regularly

    Back in the early days of blog­ging, before pod­cast­ing and Twit­ter and all this new fangled stuff, there was a trend amongst blog­gers to occa­sion­ally do posts about the sites that have all the cool tech list­ings and news, as well as the cool people behind the sites. These days, on Twit­ter, that kind of a…

  • 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.

  • A pound of eBooks

    Over the week­end some com­ments raised good points about longev­ity of media. It was on a post about Microsoft plan­ning to shut down Xbox Live for the ori­gin­al Xbox gam­ing con­sole. This got me think­ing that I’d kinda heard these argu­ments before. Per­haps applied to dif­fer­ent sys­tems, maybe even to dif­fer­ent tech­no­logy, but they wer­en’t…

  • Grocery lists made easy — seriously.

    Yes, look at that head­line. Gro­cery lists. In a tech blog. What’s this world com­ing to. But yet, if you bear with me for a moment, you’ll under­stand why this is cool. You see, if you throw an iPhone or iPod Touch into the mix, you’ll real­ize that ‘ah, maybe that Brad fel­low’s on to something’. So…

  • This is the week that was

    Lots of stuff happened with the big boys this week. Web­mas­ters of the world rejoice as Microsoft’s IE6 takes a hit from Google…and more! …more This post is an excerpt from one of my weekly posts on the Future Shop Techb­log. Check out the full post here.

  • Chuck Norris — eat your heart out.

    You know, I’m thinkin’ Chuck Nor­ris could learn a thing or two from this guy. He’s got pan­ache, gets the girls, does­n’t seem to break a sweat in tight situ­ations, and occa­sion­ally drinks beer. Hat Tip to Larysa at Click­free 🙂

  • Not iBooks. eBooks!

    eBooks are going to be big­ger than ever in the com­ing months, espe­cially since Apple’s recently announced its iBooks ebook store. It’s pure spec­u­la­tion on my part, but I’m think­ing that in the com­ing months with the launch of the iPad, iBooks will also be avail­able for the iPhone and iPod touch… …more This post…

  • My wife stole an amazing iPod Touch case from me

    Yep, the oth­er day I got this cool iPod Touch case — cool because it’s one of the Pro­porta Alu-Leath­er line of cases that I first looked at when I needed a new case for my Palm T|X. That case, a little worn, is still rockin’ though. It’s about the case This nifty little hold­er is…

  • Mama’s got a Squeezebox

    When I was offered a chance to review the Logit­ech Squeeze­box Radio, I believe my exact response was ‘hell yeah!’, because this thing exem­pli­fies a geek gad­get. But wait, it looks like an appli­ance… …more This post is an excerpt from one of my weekly posts on the Future Shop Techb­log. Check out the full…

  • 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…
