Game of Thrones: The Board Game
Recently, I got to try my hand at the Game of Thrones Board Game, and I must say, that it was quite the experience. There were five players, and we played two full games, and it took from one in the afternoon until eleven in the evening to get through…

Differences Between T2i and T3i
So I’ve had my new camera, the Canon T3i that has yet to be named, for a few weeks now, and I’m loving having it. I’ve been bringing it on some short photo walks, and to family events, and continue to learn new things about what my fiancee has purchased…

Micro-Four Thirds
I really thought I would use my Panasonic GF-2 a great deal when I purchased it (New Camera: Panasonic DMC-GF2). The idea of a small camera with interchangeable lenses appealed to me greatly, but the reality is very different for me. I bought the camera with a 20mm prime lens.…

Internet in Georgetown
I have been thinking about my Internet connection lately. I have a pretty solid cable Internet connection from Distributel currently. I was nervous about signing on with them, but it has been great so far, except that things are a bit slow. The connection that I received from them was…

Taranis vs F-35
I have written about my opinions on the F-35 before (F-35s Scrapped and Government and Military: Bad Decisions) and my opinion hasn’t really changed: I still think the F-35 is potentially the wrong plane for Canada. Now, there is an article on the Toronto Sun talking about the potential of…
