My old phone served me well, had it for about 5 years and while it does still work, the screens on it are kinda messed up. I have to keep taking the battery out in order to reset them if I want to be able to see the call display or the number I’m [...]

This summer we’re determined to get out of town at least a couple of times for short vacations. The first will be in a week or two, just a few days up in Halifax to get away, and then hopefully later in the summer we’ll get to go for a longer trip, maybe PEI [...]

After putting up the new shelf for the gameboy games I had room to spread out a lot of the little gadgets properly. The iPods and other mp3 players, the digital cameras, the controllers and memory cards and so on. Still feels like there isn’t enough room for everything, but it’s getting better. [...]

For a while I toyed with the idea of having a separate computer in the house to use as a media server. The plan was to stick it in a closet or in the basement. It wouldn’t have to be an overly powerful or fast system, it would just need tons of storage. [...]

No, not that POS, a Point of Sale system! The program I’m using was written by a friend of mine, and even though it gets the job done I’d love to have a lot of new features added to it. Unfortunately he doesn’t work on it anymore so I’m stuck with it as [...]

Well damn these tankless water heaters are pretty cool. No more need to have a big, electricity sucking water heater in the basement with these things around. Powered by either propane or natural gas they can heat your tap water instantly, and keep it hot for as long as you need it. [...]

Posted on November 25, 2008 - Filed Under gadgets, review | Leave a Comment
Taking pictures of yourself tends to result in very cheesey poses where your arm is stretched out toward the camera and your body tends to get twisted into weird angles. Using a camera with a timer and tripod can make for some good pictures, but it’s a hassle to set up and move around [...]

I’ve been looking for a new online game to play during my spare time and prefer to find something that’s free. It’s not that I mind paying $15 a month for something polished like EverQuest 2 or Warcraft, but if I’m playing less than an hour a day I don’t feel I’m getting my [...]
