    Every once in a while it’s very important to take a few minutes to step back and simply say Thanks. And today is one of those times. We, the Dads, recently committed ourselves to making the DadCast a regular thing. This is no small task when you consider that collectively we have 11 children under…

    In this week’s TWiT #243, Kara Swisher of AllThingsD.com talks about how Google has often missed the mark in their social networking because they hold off releasing products form the Labs until they are completely satisfied that it can be automated 100%.

    Where did I see that the other day? Oh right, nowhere. Although…. When we bought our MacBook Pro last February the Apple experience was brand new to us (minus some iPod exposure). The battery lasted close to four hours on a charge and the majority of my time was spent in configuring the machine for…

    It’s been two weeks now that I’ve given up the ‘ol Blackberry 7130g that I picked up almost four years ago and turned on a brand spankin’ new LG GR501 Xenon that runs on Bell’s brand spankin’ new HSPA network! If you recall it was not too long ago that I was agonizing over which…

    Just before Christmas, I was given the chance to test out the brand new Samsung Galaxy on Bell’s brand spanking new HSPA+ network.

    My fellow fat dad @JohhnyCannuck has been an avid fan of Doctor Who since the early 80’s (as far as I can remember). I tried many a time to get into the show when it was shown on weekends on the PBS channel. Even with the talent of Tom Baker, Peter Davison and Colin Baker,…

    I did not want to venture in the waters surrounding the launch of the Wind’s network and their new airtime plans, however as usual, my good friend and colleague, Mr Schultzter has dragged me into the lake kicking and screaming.

    So we’ve got telecoms suing each other over their ad claims and trying to block new entrants with lobbying. We’ve got a new entrant that has finally made it to market. And we’ve plenty of new phones and changes to plans happening here in Canada. What does it all mean? Sadly, not much!

    Around me, many folks are gung-ho to see Avatar, James Cameron’s newest film.  They say it will be nothing short of a Cinematic Revelation.  Some are adamant that this will be The-biggest-movie-of-the-Summah (for those who remember Arnold Schwarzenegger’s boast of his 1993 flop, The Last Action Hero).  Although I find the term revelation a tad…
