  • Aliens + Tron = Nice!

    I saw the new Tron trail­er on the week­end — yes, can­’t wait for the movie. Looks like pure brain / eye candy.  And now for some­thing com­pletely dif­fer­ent Ali­ens; Tron-o-fied.

  • More ways to get rid of your old tech.

    A while ago I wrote about dis­pos­ing of tech you no longer need or use. And today I found a very cool tool that will help you sell off your used gear for a fair price. Bonus points, it’s got a funky name; Worth Mon­key.

  • How social media tools can enhance and extend the reach of an event

    This past Fri­day I went to a fun­draiser Celebrity Chef event hos­ted by a friend and loc­al Edmon­ton social media per­son­al­ity (and Bacon Guy) Jerry Aulenbach. Held at a loc­al premi­er bur­ger res­taur­ant, the even­ing was one of good food, good con­ver­sa­tion, and a lot of glow­ing screens. The res­taur­ant had set aside a sec­tion…

  • Not pushing tin. Pushing paper! [Video]

    Saw this video a week or two ago. Amazed at the amount of paper gen­er­ated for each flight!

  • Add this to my Christmas List

    If you’re a fan of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, then this book, The Mak­ing of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, had bet­ter be on your Christ­mas list this year. It’s on mine 🙂 Watch the video and find out why…

  • The Steve Jobs Way

    Tomor­row Apple will likely announce a new look and feel for the Mac­Book Air and an update (per­haps sig­ni­fic­ant) to their flag­ship oper­at­ing sys­tem, OSX. And once again, the real­ity dis­tor­tion field sur­round­ing Steve Jobs’ present­a­tions will be set to full power. It’ll be an inter­est­ing day, I’m sure. Espe­cially since Steve ripped into Google,…

  • It’s a Book [video]

    I’ll let the video do the talking. Hat tip to my friend Tim for post­ing this on Facebook 🙂

  • Huge Lego Mindstorms Robotic Chess Board [video]

    Gotta love the ingenu­ity that goes into stuff like this. It’s a huge Chess set, with the pieces made from Lego Mind­storm robots. 

  • Desktop, mobile or web app?

    Twit­ter is in the midst of rolling out it’s new, all-encom­passing inter­face, and I’ve been able to take a look at it in ‘pre­view’ mode. My ver­dict: quite nice, but it won’t replace desktop twit­ter apps for me, just yet. Tweet­deck and See­smic Desktop both offer great­er func­tion­al­ity than the new Twit­ter interface. Though I’ve not…

  • Portal 2: Cute video!

    Yeah, after play­ing Portal through a few times, both on the Xbox and the PC, I was happy to see that Portal 2 will be arriv­ing on shelves in the new year. If this video is any indic­a­tion, it’s going to be quite fun — espe­cially with co-op mode.

  • Android, Blackberry or iPhone? Which is right for you.

    Earli­er today I dropped in to the CityTV’s Break­fast Tele­vi­sion set to chat about the three main types of data phones. Basic­ally we were look­ing at the data phones, and the types of people who each type of phone is best suited for — or not suited for 🙂 Here’s my notes from the early morn­ing chat:…

  • I can haz Ikea? [video]

    Ran­dom­ness. 100 cats released into an Ikea store overnight, just to see what hap­pens. Fun!
