My First Pictures with My Canon T2i

I took some images of local buildings, a garden, and a few other things to test out my camera, and to help with some work related stuff. No really interesting pictures in this bunch, but check out my Flickr for more pictures as I add them and take them. Read more
Future Idea: Battery Replacement for Cars

Another idea that I had foresight in was how battery powered vehicles would “refuel”. Recently, Tokyo had a battery replacement system installed, and a few electric taxis were able to beta test it. Here is a piece of the article from Tech ON: In the test, the company uses three EVs as taxis. And it Read more
Future of Computing: I Was Right

Over on a blog I operated a while back, I discussed the future of computer operating systems and how I thought that user profiles should follow you anywhere. Today, I started seeing reports on potential features for the next version of Windows, and one of those, listed on .Net Zone was the following: Portable Profiles Read more
Bad Saver: Me or Why I Bought a DSLR

I am happy to announce that I just ordered the Canon Digital EOS T2i that I’ve been wanting (read my previous post: Camera I Would Like to Own: Canon Digital Rebel T2i). I probably should have waited longer, but I ended up getting a little money from the sale of the house, and I’ve been Read more

One Year on August 5th, 2010

Someone at work asked me when my anniversary of working for the County would be. August 5th, 2010 will be my first full year at the County of Bruce. I haven’t held many jobs for a year, as I usually get bored or some crazy circumstance leaves me changing jobs before a year is up. Read more
Earthquake

Today, there was an earthquake in Quebec, and I was able to feel it all the way here in Walkerton. At first, I assumed it was just me, and then my co-worker looked at me and was like “do you feel that?” I thought the slight trembles must have been coming from something outside, and Read more
Heroscape: More Fun at Lunch

So yesterday I talked about playing foosball at work during lunches at work, but another thing we do from time to time is play Heroscape. This is a newer addition to lunches, since one of my co-workers owns a big set of it, and I was willing to play. My office mate got dragged into Read more
Car Fixed Again

Seems like my car’s muffler might be fixed. They called me a few minutes ago to tell me that it is ready to be picked up and that all it needed was the muffler clip. I am not sure what the cost is going to be, but at this point, I am almost tired of Read more
iPhone 4th Generation: I’ll Buy One

All my life, I’ve had two cell phones. One was given to me from the college I went to. It was a low end phone and super bulky when compared to the phones today. My next phone, which I bought a year ago, is a Samsung SCH 410, a little clamshell phone that doesn’t do Read more
Fantasy Computer Build

So, I was talking to my cousin today, and he is getting ready to upgrade his computer. I use the term upgrade loosely as he is pretty much replacing most of the main components, and it will pretty much be a brand new computer. It got me thinking about what I would buy if I Read more
