  • Laptop Cooling

    Why don’t laptop docks have included cooling fans/pads for the laptops? There are some HP laptops at work that keep randomly shutting down, and it appears to be from a heat issue, as both machines could easily fry an egg on the bottom of them after a day of use. I would like to get… Read more

  • Quick Trip to Toronto

    So, last weekend, my cousin, Mark, and I went to Toronto for the weekend. The trip was really just to get away and take pictures somewhere other than Brockville or Kingston, and it worked out well. The weather might have been a bit cold, but we walked around all day Saturday, and a fair portion… Read more

  • Saints Row: The Third

    My cousin and I have beaten the third Saints Row game, and I must say, as much fun as it is, the story is a bit weak. The second game definitely felt more epic in scale, but not as wild and crazy. It is like the restraint went out the window on this game, but… Read more

  • Job Titles

    So, I know job titles don’t really matter in some respects, but in the more traditional job market, it can have a huge effect on your potential career progression. Recently, I had a little back and forth about the difference between a Web Programmer and an Application Developer and how it relates to one of… Read more

  • Photography Gear Obsession

    It is hard as a more technically savvy, and less artistic hobbyist photographer to deal with feeling like I have the “wrong gear” for a situation. Next week, Mark and I are going to Toronto to flex our photography muscles, and in the skyscraper world that is Toronto, I wish I had the ultimate wide… Read more

  • Driving?

    As the winter settles in, distances when walking just seem to stretch out into the infinite and I feel like it takes forever to get anywhere. Add to that the feeling that I’ve “seen everything” in Brockville, I’m getting a little stir crazy. Sometimes I actually miss having a car. I have a feeling that… Read more

  • Training Opportunities at Work

    So, I am hoping that in 2012 my work will pay for me to attend some conferences or take some training and I’m trying to come up with ideas. Companies like Learning Tree seem a bit crazy in prices, and the local college doesn’t offer much of use in my current field. I am not… Read more

  • Free Idea: Public Photo Portfolio Builder

    Here’s an idea I had. Feel free to build it or whatever. While I had the idea, I don’t have the funds required to make this a reality or a success, so if you can, feel free to have at it. The user comes to the site and creates an account. They then allow the… Read more

  • Moving…

    I want to move. I don’t want to live where I am anymore, but I don’t know how long I’ll be staying in Brockville, and the idea of getting stuck in a one year lease when I don’t know if I’ll be here for another entire year is very stressful to me. Also, while there… Read more
