Here we go again. Another Rogers ‘experience’ in the bag and another decision to avoid using Rogers. I mentioned in my last rant about Rogers (iPhone Unlocking Policy) that I would very likely be buying my next phone outright simply to avoid being forced to keep Rogers as my carrier. Well that time is here…
Read MoreQuick link to the TouchPad at Future Shop. This past Sunday I walked in to Future Shop and was informed that just a few days before, staff were able to purchase the new HP TouchPad for only $150. Limited time offer. I was sorely disappointed that I missed this great opportunity. I thought, at the time, that…
Read MoreMy feelings towards Google+ were best described by Alex Albrecht on an episode of Diggnation a few weeks back when he said “I’m hesitantly optimistic [about Google+].” In other words, I’m hesitant because Google Buzz didn’t do much for me along with a ton of other Google services that were overhyped and under-delivered. Wave, anyone?…
Read MoreI hate cooking. With a passion. I believe that anything that takes longer than 10 minutes to put together is beyond being worthy of its time investment. That said, everything on this site almost makes me want to start cooking real meals. If you happen to love cooking, like my roommate and quite a number…
Read MoreThis is a great video from a few years back about doing what you love that was shared with me by my partner in crime, Adam Bate. Completely worth the watch – it’s only 15 minutes! The general idea: Do what you love and put your passion into it. Don’t think about how to get…
Read MoreWe’ve all seen this before, right? Although I tend to be pretty good at replacing the roll when necessary, I’ll admit, I may have left one like that a few times in the past. I mean, I get it – it’s a bit of a hassle to go under the sink, grab a new roll,…
Read MoreEven as a kid, I couldn’t stand interruptions. I’d be watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and be interrupted by a family member suddenly wanting to chat mid-episode. Or I’d be right in the middle of an intense section of a great Hardy Boys book and bam! Someone just starts talking to me about nothing of…

Read MoreThis is not an experience of my own, but rather one I witnessed as it went down just last week. My friend and colleague went on vacation in Florida with his Bell Canada locked iPhone. A few days in he discovered that he had been charged $0.75 for every text message in and out, and…
Read MoreUnlocking the iPhone has always been a tedious task compared to other phones. While you can easily obtain BlackBerry unlock codes for less than a dollar to enter into your phone for carrier-free calling in a matter of minutes, the iPhone requires a considerably more in-depth procedure to accomplish the same thing. It starts with…
