1 Year Later – Adventures and Changes
So it was one year ago today that I left on a fantastic roadtrip around Western North America with my good friend Garth. Garth and I had recently finished working for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games and were in serious need of a good vacation. We had spent a bunch of time in the previous ...
Manhattan Photos
I flew down to New York for the day this past Monday (March 7th, 2011) for the day for an all day meeting. The day started at 3am as I dragged myself out of bed, headed over to the bus stop and realized on the way there that the temperature was around -10 Celsius. It ...
Usage Based Billing (UBB) and why you should care
Ok, there’s a lot of hubbub around this “Usage Based Billing” thing that’s just starting to come into effect up here in Canada. I’m going to explain what it is and why it is a big deal for some of us. Here in Canada we have three big Internet Service Providers (ISP’s), Bell Canada, Rogers Communications ...
Toronto
Ok, so this blog post is a little late. Ok, so this blog post is a *lot* late. I’ve now been in Toronto for a whole month (wow typing that really made me think about it, and that’s gone really fast) and I’m starting to get into the groove of things. But first, we need ...
Freefall (The Game)
As many of you know, I’m attending my final (oft delayed) semester at the University of Victoria right now – finishing off my final four courses. One of these courses is an elective, CSC 167: Game Strategy, Interaction and Design – what I normally refer to as “the video game course”. It is more than ...
Idiopathic Hypersomnia Treatment
Something a lot of people don’t know about me is that I’ve struggled for years with sleepiness, and I recently finished up some sleep tests at the Surrey Memorial Hospital, over a 4 month period. After a couple polysomnograms and a Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT), the official diagnosis was Idiopathic Hypersomnia. Directly translated that ...
Why Facebook’s “Messages” isn’t about email
I know I posted about @facebook.com email address‘ last weekend, but I didn’t quite forsee what they had planned. Facebook messages wants to be a hub for your messaging, specifically a hub for messages sent between you and your friends. It will also be simple, quick messages, like chat. They say that pressing “enter” will ...
@facebook.com launching Monday?
Rumor around the internet is that Facebook is readying “Project Titan” for launch this Monday, November 15th. “Project Titan” is apparently the facebook codeword for their email application (or “Trident” I’ve heard both). This is very Big News as they are set, in a single day to become one of the largest webmail providers in ...
Walking around Victoria in the Fall
This fall has been gorgeous in Victoria, I think Mother Nature is making up for the exceptionally late start to the summer this year (it didn’t really start getting nice until July). Since I’ve gone back to school for the semester, I’ve begun walking around Victoria when I have some free time. I was last ...
Google’s Halloween Doodle
Google has an awesome doodle up for Halloween that is a 5-part comic featuring Scooby Doo and the gang. Google doodles are the logo replacements you sometimes see at the top of the search page. Google also featured some great ones during the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games.
