One thing you learn over the years of running a business is to know your competitors as well as you know your own business. In this case, I think Nokia’s off their rocker. Their latest campaign is geared at the BlackBerry user, so let’s compare, shall we? Now, in all fairness to Nokia, I am [...]
You got it first… the latest Nokia E71-2 or the NAM E71 smartphone when it first hit the market. You love your phone, you live and die by it’s features. So when you hear that some people out there got a firmware update from Nokia but you didn’t, you feel like you got the shaft. [...]
This month was a light month for INFAMOUS. With a street date of November 17th, Kanye is on the cover again, looking prim and proper, like he’s ready for prep school. This month, the magazine brings out some love for Van City’s own Martini who’s opened up Freshman, Voya in the Loden Hotel, and some [...]
It appears that the decline of Yaletown as foretold in a previous blog post (HERE) is slowly starting to take shape. Pretty soon the neighbourhood may resemble that of Columbia Station in New Westminster. You know, where the drug dealers and prositutes hang out. Why, you ask?

The monthly was originally published out of The Now! in Surrey but has since been moved to the Vancouver Courier which means better downtown distribution, plus we get to piggyback on a great publication. My role in writing somewhere between 2500 and 3000 words a month for [...]

A few months ago, my company installed Fedora Linux on Microsoft Virtual Server (similar to Microsoft Virtual PC and VMWare) to handle some front-end caching for a couple of our busy websites.

I’ve always been a fan of Canon’s ‘G’ line of cameras. The G1 that I have sitting in my drawer is slated to become an Infrared Camera once I have time enough to do the conversion. The G7 I have is my backup camera but is currently in use as I wait on some warranty [...]
