Ok Let’s Try This Again – The Digitalization Of Books…

/ January 17, 2011 / everyday life, iPhone, save money, Technology / Permalink

Yeah, so I sort of missed the point I was trying to make with my previous post (which I deleted) which talked about how freely available things were online. The point which I wanted to make (and did a bad job at it admittedly) was that the next physical item which we use today which [...]

Beware The Hard Drive – They’re All Gonna Die Someday..

/ January 13, 2011 / everyday life, Technology / Permalink

Did you know that eventually your hard drive and the data on it will fail someday? Did you know that every hard drive will eventually.. fail. It just so happens in my case the Hitachi ones seem to fail a lot more often than any other (such as Western Digital or Seagate). Back in August [...]

First Post of the New Year

/ January 3, 2011 / everyday life, iPhone, social, Technology / Permalink

So I’m writing this blog post from the comforts of my recliner downstairs. No, not on a laptop, not an ipad (I returned mine), but I’m writing it from a bluetooth keyboard paired up to my iPhone 4. I’m simply using Notes to write it and then I’ll simply email it to myself and put [...]

Do you know all your shipping options? Canada Post…or Air Canada Cargo?

/ December 22, 2010 / everyday life, Technology / Permalink

This may be a little too late to assist any last minute Holiday shipping, but did you know you could ship packages via the airlines?  I didn’t, and it was only recently brought to my attention when my mother shipped a standard "Rubbermaid" container from Charlottetown to Kelowna (departed Friday, arrived Sunday). The best part [...]

I’m About To Use My Credit Card A Lot More, And Not For Christmas.

/ December 10, 2010 / iPhone, make money, save money, Technology / Permalink

Well I have to admit, I’m about to use my credit card a heck of a lot more than I usually do – and with no signs of stopping. It also has nothing to do with Christmas either, I’ve actually saved some money for Christmas, want to know why? RBC (my main chequing account bank) [...]

iPhone 4 – To Jailbreak – Or Not To Jailbreak (again)

/ December 7, 2010 / iPhone, Technology / Permalink

I’m really torn on whether or not to jailbreak my recently replaced iPhone 4, but I am leaning towards doing it again. Why? Well – mainly due to the fact that they took back my old one which was jailbroken when it wouldn’t boot up. But before everyone thinks that it was due to the [...]

/ November 29, 2010 / save money, Technology / Permalink

I’m pretty sure that they are eventually they are going to fill up every day of the year with some sort of catchy name to get people out spending their money needlessly on a day to day basis. Today is “Cyber Monday”, and I’m trying to remember when this new “day” came into place? Don’t [...]

iPhone Back – And It’s Helping Me Sleep (yes I’m serious…)

/ November 23, 2010 / awesome, iPhone, local, social, Technology / Permalink

So as you know I had some major issues with my first iPhone (in that it basically died) and I had to send it back. The support process I must admit was absolutely amazing. The support rep I spoke to was very helpful and friendly – and in no time at all I had a [...]

The Replacement To My Returned iPad?

/ November 9, 2010 / Technology / Permalink

Well I wrote about this awhile ago as I was hoping it would someday come out – and it appears that it has. Color e-INK! Apparently tomorrow, a Chinese company called Hanlon is going to introduce the first color e-Ink display for e-readers. While it is simple to make e-readers with LCD screens such as [...]

My iPhone Is Toast – at the moment..

/ November 7, 2010 / Technology / Permalink

Well I was going to post something else tonight, but seeing that all I can think about is how pissed I am that my iPhone is basically a brick. It didn’t get wet, in fact nothing happened to it at all – it ran out of juice and I put in on a charger.. and [...]
