Sidney Crosby Lives Up to Media Hype

I love a good hockey game. I hate mainstream media. Unfortunately most good hockey games combine the two. So I am forced to listen and watch the media be horrible while I watch a good hockey game. Today’s Olympic Gold Medal game between the USA and Canada was no different. All through the Olympics I [...]

This past week my friend Pete came to visit me and he brought a new gadget with him that he recently acquired: a Genius i405 graphics tablet. People who do a lot of fine detail photo editing or drawing in a program like Photoshop or Illustrator, complain that working with a mouse is tedious and [...]

I recently had to call my hydro company to rebook someone to come change my hydro meter. You’d think that since its something THEY told me that i NEED to do, they would make it easy. But alas, they didn’t. First it took me about 5 minutes of searching their site to find a phone [...]

Hilarious title for an article. Unsatisfied with running just your searches, browser, e-mail, calendar, documents, videos, cell phone, turn-by-turn navigation, operating system, electricity monitoring, much of the advertising on the Internet and more, Google has announced that it plans to experiment with … Read more…

Google Buzz Initial Reactions

12 February 2010

I make it a point to not instantly love something just because it’s Google.  I haven’t talked much about Google Wave, but at this point I think it is pretty useless.  You might as well just use Google Docs.  So Google Buzz came out this week and I became skeptical instantly, because I use twitter [...]

Google Buzz Ad Parody

11 February 2010

Man can satire ever sting! (get it? buzz… bee… sting… awesome.) Welp, personally I’d say this is strike 2 for Google after the Wave letdown. Perhaps they should just forget about social networking. I think they might be trying to come on board a bit too late in the game.

Google Ads Work On My 3 Year Old

9 February 2010

I’ve always been kind of skeptical of using ads on Google. I don’t think I’ve ever clicked one. When I use my search engine I somehow subliminally completely tune out the ads that are on the right side of the page that might apply to my search. So if you’re trying to get me as [...]
