    All the Fat Dads really love Google products, so we’re kind of biased and even a little when it comes to reviews on their new products. So when we heard about Google Wave, we couldn’t help ourselves but get a little carried away in the middle or DadCast One: Follow the Mononque. We had decided…

    A big thanks to @julien for finding this awesome video. Those Mountie suits suit sure do bring back some memories of driving around the English countryside doing my part for international relations. We’re all taking the day off tomorrow to celebrate being Canucks. We’ll be back on Thursday to record our second DadCast. In the…

    Time for toy shopping. I’ve been looking into buying a GPS for awhile. My first instinct was to look into what Garmin had to offer. Why Garmin? Well I actually couldn’t find anyone who owned a TomTom to ask them about their experience. So off to the big box electronic store. We were going on…

    Once again I’m calling out Research in Motion for being web idiots. How can a Canadian company still not have a French version of their own site in Canada and yet have a Spanish version in the States and a French only site in France. [ad name=”2fatdads_post”]

    I love watching movies. It’s a break from the daily routine and from reality that most of the times gives me a rush or moves me. Of course, I’m not talking about sappy, boring, make me want to gag movies. Thankfully I haven’t had to watch one of those at the theater since I got…

    The honest truth is not and will probably never be that Windows is better than any Mac, its just not so. Microsoft in its infinite wisdom choose to buy technology from other companies, tried to make it look uniform and told the hardware vendors out there that as long as you were close enough to…

    For anyone who is wondering, this is John Gruber. John is the author behind Daring Fireball, a blog that I read almost religiously in Google Reader multiple times a day. John is very vocal with opinion and has an uncanny ability of being right more often than not. And when he is wrong or way…

    Thanks to John Gruber at Daring Fireball for this find. If there is one show I really truly miss from the Beeb it’s Top Gear. Jeremy’s Clarkson is such a well spoken and intelligent presenter and writer that you completely overlook the fact that he’s a cowboy boot wearing petrol headed hooligan. Watch it all…
