    Instagram is still one of my favourite apps on the iPhone, over the past year it has made it to my home screen and become my default photo app outside of the lock screen camera access which I have used quite a lot this winter. I’ve use to get a real kick out the X-Pro…

    I might have to pick one of these up for the rest of the coaching season. Pretty impressive demo, 132 km/h slapshot @ 30,000 PSi and not a bad shot either. Preorder here: G-Form via G-Form LLC

    I recently got my hand on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus for review, it’s the Google Android 4.0 Prime phone. It’s very fast, very big and very Googly. One of the main features being advertised is its facial recognition feature that unlock your phone jut by looking it. I’m sure you seen the ad of the…

    Another excellent piece by Stephen Hack on his podcasting setup, we ran a similar piece on how we set up the DadCast, we recorded a French & an English show on how to put a podcast together as well as a piece on what happens when it goes all wrong. It’s always good to see…

    There is a lot of chatter in the Technospere about Jim and Mike stepping down from their co-CEO roles  at RIM and making way for the COO Thorsten Heins (the first?) to helm the good ship BlackBerry out of troubled waters and back into clear seas. It’s interesting that one of small pieces from this…

      Stephen Hackett has a great piece up on his site about NeXTSTEP today. This one really took me to all the existential debates I had with Steph aka @Mononque back in the 90’s over Steve Job’s pet project and OS2 Warp and BeOS all the while lamenting our crappy beige boxes. via NeXT: The Software…

    Apple has recently announced that they are going to make a play to bring textbooks  to the iPad and attempt to reduce some of the burdens set out by an aging educational system. Granted, most of the cases they brought up were in fact typical of the American educational system, but many of the issues…

    I’m quite anxious about this one as I grew up with Macs in school. This was a very good thing and I wish my kid’s school would do the same instead of proliferating old loud beige boxes that no one wanted at home. If they weren’t good enough for your kids at home, why it…

    When a thing sets off my Spidey-Sense like that it means This is effing brilliant. I’ve never seen anything like it, but I’m certain that this marks a real moment of history. This is one of my favourite quotes on what the Steve Jobs keynote actually did the mobile phone industry. I was working as…
