The following is an actual transcript of the process of trying to activate an additional receiver to my Bell ExpressVU TV satellite system. I have no idea if it worked or not. This is the third or fourth time I tried, the first being on the receiver itself. The second time failed because they don’t [...]
I was going to write a little thing about how fun the ngmoco game Topple was, maybe even with an accompanying screen shot, but the App Store is still ridiculously slow here. Instead, I’m going to write just a little bit about monocultures and why they suck. When everything works, you can almost believe that [...]
At the risk of drawing the ire of the Apple Masters, and ridicules from people telling me to move to a real province, has anyone else on the east coast noticed an appalling lack of performance in the Apple iTunes Music Store lately? Searching for iPhone apps, music, and podcasts all sucks right now. Worse, [...]
I’ve had my iPhone 3G for awhile now. When I first got it, I wanted to do a review of some of my favorite apps. Months passed. Summer turned to fall. There was still no review. But then, how could there be? I was still learning the territory, and there’s a lot to learn. iTunes [...]

A few weeks ago, I posted the first of a three-part headphone review. This is the second. For the past five years or so, the Shure E3 headphones (now called SCL3) had been my sound delivery weapon of choice for serious business. Developed for stage use, they quickly became popularized for portable audio for their [...]
Deb and I went to the rogers store yesterday ostensibly so I could get a replacement battery for my ailing blackberry 8800. We ended up leaving with a brand new pair of iPhone 3g 16Gb phones. It’s been increasingly clear that the iPhones are closer to what I’ve wanted as a wireless device for awhile [...]
I posted yesterday about some of the features I wished my iPod could do, and some of the things it can now as of the 2.0 software upgrade. There was a huge din of silence surrounding some vagueness about being able to watch video and listen to podcasts on your iPods. To clarify, of course [...]
