My current job requires me to walk a short distance of about 10 minutes from where I can park my car to my office. Due to this time spent afoot I think I’m making even greater use of my iPod than I did when I commuted 45 mins to and from work. I say my…
I just recently managed to sit down and view the new Star Trek movie. Sure I’m way behind the rest of the world but I much prefer sitting down in my own comfy chair and enjoying a film where I can control the volume of both the movie and those around me. I thought Star…
I don’t think that there’s any doubt that Seth’s Green and McFarlane are Star Wars fans. The amount of detail that went in to “Blue Harvest” could only have been applied by folks who have spent time geeking out about Star Wars. As good as “Blue Harvest” was, I believe that “Something, Something, Something, Dark…
I’ve always failed to understand the allure of Tim Horton’s. While I’ve been known to launch attacks of near genocidal proportions upon a box of doughnuts, I’ve never developed a taste for coffee. the concept of waiting in enormous lines several times per day for a beverage makes the prospect of my developing the coffee-zombie…
Well, I’m sitting here watching Batman: Gotham Knight and I felt the need to share with everyone just how impressed I am with it. For those who haven’t discovered this little gem it’s a collection of animated short stories set to take place between “Batman Begins” and “The Dark Knight” during the rebuilding of Wayne…
I know, I know you’re thinking “Why do they always come out to me?”. I’m sorry, but it’s true…I love Wii…there, I said it. I’ve looked down on the weenie little whitebox for some time perched high upon my pedestal playing Star Wars games both new and old on my PS2 and XBOX360. Both of…
In keeping with my love of hacking, I really enjoy tearing things apart. If I can repair them to good-as-new, or improve upon them while I’m in there then so much the better. As such I really enjoy seeing photos of other gadgets being dissected for study. There are many such examples across the ‘Net….
As something of a shutterbug I love browsing through photographs. Even more compelling is the concept of photo-mosaics. For those of you who haven’t encountered them, a photo mosaic is generally a picture that is comprised of many smaller pictures. Each of the smaller pictures are chosen by colours to provide appropriate shading and texture…
I’ve always been a big fan of hacking. Tearing something open to improve it in some way or make it do something other than what it’s supposed to do. Merging multiple things together into a new uber-powerful gadget has often been a dream of mine. One of my favourite places for getting ideas and witnessing…
At the end of an online contest held earlier this year, NASA has the answer to the great question of what to name the next addition to the International Space Station. Out of 1190437 votes cast, 70% of voters chose the name “Serenity”. While there is still possibly a pool going on to determine if…
