MMM Tasty

I love cooking, and some of the simplest most rewarding items to make of savory goodness is Hummus and Gnocchi (pronounced N-Yo-key).

The hummus is red because I roasted some sweet long red peppers in the oven before putting them [...]

Netbooks + Easy Peasy = win

In the search for E.T. life, and a linux distro that works *well* on the eee pc, I’ve found Easy Peasy.  My first thoughts were “With a name like that, it’s a joke right?”.  My experience with lame-named linux software apps has been comical at best.

I sourced the screenshots, felt it was worth trying so [...]

Recycling Woes

I just read a blog post about recycling entitled: We Can’t Go On Like This.  It talks a particular event arising at the recycling depot in Oak Bay.  The writer goes on about some people who came to return 100’s of coffee lids that are not recyclable via the Municipal Recycling Program.  The inference was [...]

Google Latitude

Now if there was a feature that would make me go out and buy something, it’s GPS-aware devices. My Wife recently hooked herself up with a Blackberry Storm.  A timely purchase as Google this week released Google Latitude.  She’s installed latitude for the BB and it’s pretty cool, accurate to within 1900 meters or effectively [...]

Walt Mossberg on Flock

Well Flock has been reviewed by Walt Mossberg at the Wall Street Journal, and that’s huge.  He’s one of the most influential technology critics out there and he’s taken out some time to give us our report card.  He obviously used our product extensively and has a lot of great points.  It’s a solid balanced [...]

Asus EEE PC love

Rumor has it that Asus is going to release the EEE PC Desktop.  Some may think, WHY.. the EEE PC is an ultra portable laptop, why would we need something similar in the desktop space?

I’d say for those not wanting a giant box sitting under/on their desk whirring away, this makes for a perfect computing [...]

iPhone in Canada

So there’s been a lot of talk on twitter and other blogs about the iPhone finally coming to Canada via Rogers.  At least in an official sense.  Lots of people already have the iPhone in Canada, but they miss out on some of the enhanced features that the AT&T subscribers down south have (along with [...]

DemoCampVictoria01 – Success!

Well, what an amazing lineup of people we had and how well did that turn out! Jessica Pryde, Wendy Pryde and Dave Chard at Juliet did an OUTSTANDING job at making DemoCamp one of the – correction – *the* swankiest get together ever put on in our vibrant not-so-little town of Victoria. Dave’s buildings [...]

Community Platforms & Community Harmonization

This morning I read a post from David Crow on “Community Platforms“. It got me thinking about our local community, that being Victoria and Vancouver. I have always been a supporter of community platforms and open source, but I’d like to see that go further into the real world. Vancouver has quite [...]

Information Overload

These days I’m finding it problematic to manage all my “relevant to me” news sources; blogs, tweets, facebook, email, phone, tv… I feel like as I add more sources of information, I am missing out on even MORE. It’s not that I am running out of time (I’m always doing that), it’s when [...]
