Assuming you’ve been to this site before, you’ll notice a re-design. I just moved this blog from Wordpress.com servers onto a private host (namely Dreamhost.com). Moving onto a private host allows me to have full control over what is displayed on the blog and it’s look and feel (somewhat limited when you use Wordpress.com). With [...]

Mike McNulty contacted me the other day to remind me of a great event that is coming up on Monday, June 16th – by Third Tuesday Ottawa.

Well, the reason is quite simple. I use a great tool called Twitter. I also installed the Twitter Facebook Application. With the facebook application, everytime I update my twitter status, my facebook status gets updated to and is prefixed [...]

3D Browsing is just sooo much fun. It sure beats boring old 2D browsing…. that’s why I really love www.SpaceTime.com. Basically, it is a new browser that you can download that will make your life a whole lot easier and more fun by turning all your web pages into 3D images… You’ve got to try [...]

Everyone knows I love http://www.MeeMix.com. It is an absolutely amazing tool. You basically enter one artist/song you like, and it will continue to play songs that you like all day long. It works in Canada (unlike Pandora), which is awesome.
