Well, it is that time again. I took our son to his first skating lesson today. At 7 and being Canadian I’ll admit he’s a little behind the curve but he will catch up just like he did with swimming this summer. I love the way the HDR brought out the cuts in the ice. [...]

This is the third time that I have paid for parking via the telephone pay parking system run by Verrus and have been handed a ticket for what was called a “parking violation”. In the past I had called and tried to get the violations cancelled. This has been futile on both attempts due to [...]

We went down to the new convention centre to watch the Canada day fireworks. This was the first post Olympic Canada day celebration and it was interesting to see just how much of that crazy Canuck patriotism was left. Well, I can report that there was much more wearing of our national colours, due to [...]

So I hear that the Fifa folks might just silence the Vuvuzela at the World Cup in South Africa! Well I thought that I would give the fans a little Vuvuzela “to go” and provide them with both iPhone and MP3 versions of the Vuvuzela in full swing. Enjoy and let me know what you [...]

It had been raining for days and the fear I was that it was going to dump down the wet stuff for Noah’s second ski lesson at the Grouse Mountain Ski Wee Camp. As luck would have it the skies opened up and the sun peaked out just in time for his day on the [...]

I just discovered this little camera app that has really been designed to be fun to use. There are quite a few iPhone camera apps that either emulate old film grains/formats and vintage or Lomo looks written already. Most come up short for one reason or another. The Hipstamatic [iTunes link $1.99] takes the vintage [...]

I downloaded the much hyped version of Photoshop for the iPhone today and wow what a disappointment. The number one photo manipulation software in in the world for desktops and they produce a hobbled app that is not worth the price of free. Sure it has the following: crop, rotate, and flip, exposure, saturation and [...]

So I just heard about this amazing site called Blurb.com. I guess they have been around since 2005 and sold 300,000 titles in 2008 alone. Who knew….Well I guess 300,000 people did and now there is 300,001 that think it’s cool. It is a site and software that lets anyone publish a book with little [...]

Well I when to the Canucks game last night and wow did it suck! The night did not but the game sure did. I caught up with three friends that I have known for over 20 years. The one that I do when I hang out with these gents is laugh and that is a [...]

For all of those folks that are used to Blackberry and Nokia providing the convex mirrors on their handsets for self portraits. I know that you are wondering why Apple did not include one. Well they did. Just line yourself up in the shiny Apple logo and you are good as gold, or silver in [...]
