Have you ever tried out Google Image Labeler? I had never heard of it, and I’m not sure if it’s new or not.
Doing a quick image search on something, I was presented with the question at the bottom of my results asking whether or not I wanted to try it. Curious, I clicked the link […]

Anybody who has ever seen the Red Green show will have come to know the full potential of duct tape. If Red Green wanted a linux box, you just know he would have made it himself, and it would have looked something like this one.

I was a bit overwhelmed last night putting together my last screencast. The actual recording of the screencast was done early last week and took about 25 minutes. But last night I set about getting things in order to upload things to the site and to YouTube. Needless to say the whole process was a […]

Amidst the quagmire heathenx and I are calling ‘Codec Hell’, I did manage to get another Inkscape screencast done. This one demonstrates the use of Inkscape’s guides, gradients and some shadow effects to come up with a decent looking 3D device graphic. This one is about 17 minutes long (my longest to date), so I […]

The Canadian Federal Government has come up with a new logo for organic foods that have been tested and certified by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

A nice last minute opportunity gave the wife and I floor seats (16th row) for the Police reunion tour concert in Toronto tonight. I'm not always a big fan of rock shows, but this was awesome awesome awesome!

I’ve had this desktop computer for two and a half years. I’ve been running Linux pretty steadily since October 2005.
Today, July 20, 2007, I figured out that I could enter the bios upon bootup and increase my onboard video card’s shared ram (default 8MB) to 32MB. This took a total of about 10 seconds.

Earl Moore has tagged me to supply Eight Things Previously Unknown. They ended up being a bit wordier than expected so apologies there, but let’s get down to it:
1. I eat a bowl of cereal almost every night before bed. I’ve done this since I was probably 5 years old. Special K - lightly sugared, […]

You've got to hand it to Dave Slusher. He took all of my heightening disinterest in Web2.0, social networks and  startups and splattered it all out in one fell swoop. Bravo sir, Bravo!
Three cheers for Dave!!

… the Zenith Space Command remote control from the 70’s! Plink!
Wonderfully chunky, rounded-rectangle device. Friends of the family had one and I was jealous. We were still using one of those rectangular brown plastic boxes with the 20 buttons along the top (kuh-chunk!) with the wire running to the tv.
Little did I know at […]
