Many many moons ago when I first started playing first person shooters on computer, the default controls used the ESDF keys for movement and the mouse for looking and shooting. I quickly got used to doing it that way, but then along came a game that was using WASD for movement instead. Not [...]

Barbara Walters recently did a special on Living to 150 where she interviewed Dr. David Sinclair. Sinclair has been doing human gene research for some time now, particularly the ones to do with aging. He believes that aging is primarily a series of diseases and as such, they can be slowed down or [...]

Phil Mooney will be going up against Charles Crosby in the next Mayoral election. Crosby has been running the town into the ground for the last 20 years so hopefully this will be his last term. I’ll vote for Phil simply because he’s not Crosby. Unless his campaign turns out to be [...]

I spent a couple hours today cleaning up my work area. I had put some shelves on the wall not too long ago so that helped with the space problems. Now it’s more of a height problem. The counter is too low to work at standing up and too high to work [...]

Even though there are more then 4 Grand Theft Auto games out there, the real #4 just released today for the XBox 360 and Playstation 3 gaming consoles. A number of years ago GTA III first graced the PS2 and was later released on the XBox. Vice City and San Andreas weren’t true [...]

I remember a few years back when a local band wanted me to convert some of their videos from VHS to DVD. Doing it through a computer was the only way I could accomplish the task. It’s not something I typically do since I don’t have the proper equipment to do it properly, but [...]

Sometimes you just need to stay awake. Whether your on a long drive, working the graveyard shift or trying to beat just one more boss in your favorite game, there are many ways to keep your mind awake and alert. Coffee and energy drinks are the most common so far, but now there’s [...]

I’m one of those lucky people who can sleep through just about anything. Thunder storm? zzzzzz… Music playing? zzzzzz… Other people snoring? zzzzz… Kid awake at 5am? zzzgrrr, damnit…
By the time I go to bed I can be asleep in minutes, but not everyone is so lucky. Some people [...]
The Raging Tech

In my online quest to find something new to read this morning I came across The Raging Tech. At first I thought it would be a gadget type blog similar to Cowbell Tech, but it’s actually more of a personal blog written by a guy who works in tech support. I’ve been browsing [...]

It’s that time again and the timing was almost perfect. By the time we moved I only had about a dozen business cards left so I ordered up a new batch with our new address. I ended up procrastinating a bit though, which proved worthwhile since we ended up changing to Eastlink and [...]

I’m not greedy, it doesn’t need to be a big one, but I want one that I can hook up to the main computers’ second video output so I can run loops of movie trailers. I’d just hook up another monitor but something around a 26″ would be much more effective.
Whenever I’m in another [...]
Wholesale Distributors

A few years back when we were still down on Central Street with 4000 sq ft of space we had a small corner set aside for cheap dollar store type items. Finding a distributor for wholesale products wasn’t easy but we did find one with decent prices. Dollar Days is a great [...]

If this keeps up I’ll soon have to start riding a bicycle to work, with a wagon to pull Chloe along behind me. $1.34 a litre this week, it’s getting rather crazy, every week the price goes up around 5 cents. To you Americans reading this and whining about your $3.50 a gallon [...]

Out of all the clocks and watches scattered throughout the house and car, no 2 of them show the exact same time. So, which one is right? Probably none of them! That’s what makes the new Waveceptor Casio watches so cool. The Wavesceptor is an atomic watch that has a built [...]
