    Dear Steve, I have been a pretty loyal FanBoy / Apologist / Web Developer for the past 4 years. In fact, I was one of first Wintel Geeks North of the Border to switch to the new super cool Intel MacBooks. Despite the cooling issues, replacing the logic board a couple of times  and the…

    There is a new MMOGCG in town, and you play with your GPS enabled smartphone. What’s a MMOGCG you ask? Doesn’t everyone know about Massively Multiplayer Online Geo-Caching Games? I guess not, well let me explain then.

    HOW TO START EATING HEALTHY Have you ever tried a trendy diet, only to find you’re not seeing results? Or you lose some weight at the beginning of your diet, but then gain it all back shortly after? Almost half of all Americans have attempted to lose weight in the past year – but many gain it…

    We do a lot of Windows bashing here at 2FatDads.com and in all fairness we usually have been given many good reasons to be so negative about the aging and flailing Microsoft OS.  We’ll been using it since the Windows 3 days and most of us are very knowledge at making it do our will.…

      Before I even get started with this, let me just that this hands on review will not rival John Siracusa’s in depth analysis of the latest flavour of Mac OS X. If you need that much detail, please go ahead and read his article here. It’s no secret that most of the Fat Dads…

    Are you getting tired of these request too? I’ve had just about enough of it and seriously thinking of dropping Skype altogether for good. The problem is not about one occasional spam message. The real problem is what they are not doing to protect it’s users.

    I cleared my inbox and tasks this morning to download the much touted 4.7.0.148 update for the BlackBerry Storm and try to rekindle my love affair with the BlackBerry again. Lately, I’ve been getting that 7 year itch feeling whenever I use the Storm. The younger smartphones like the iPhone are suddenly looking really sexy…

    We recently started toying with the idea of putting together a DadCast, a 2FatDads podcast, so I dusted off the old mic stand and put away my reels of spliced tape and decided to put WireTap Pro to the test of recording a Skype conference call between three or more of the Fat Dads.

    So now that my iTunes and iPhoto setup is done (sort of), I moved my attention to trying to create the first of hopefully many family movies that will inevitably embarrass the kids (hopefully they’ll still pick a suitable retirement home for their mom & dad!).

    I missed the Habs game last night, as I was up on the roof for three hours trying to strap down the dish that got blown out of place in the strong winds of Wednesday night. I don’t think I would have been nearly anywhere near as I mad had I not seen this: The…
