Geeky Conventions in 2013?
So, having gone to three geeky events this year, Ottawa ComicCon, Fan Expo Toronto, and Montreal ComicCon, will I be heading back to any of these next year? My experiences at each were very different, but I can say that it will all depend on where I am living. I…

Cell Phone Update

The 6D or Why I’m Glad I Bought a 7D
So Canon announced the 6D at Photokina and while it was exactly what some of the most recent rumours had said it would be, it still took me by surprise. My initial reaction is “this camera doesn’t make any sense”, and it seems others agree with my sentiment. The Canon…

Finishing Projects
I’ll admit it, I get bored easily. It is a character flaw that has caused me a great deal of stress and frustration because it means that I find it really easy to drop a project rather than following it to completion as soon as I know how it could…

Likable Guy?
I have had an interesting relationship history. I would hazard a guess that there are many of my ex-girlfriends that would say that given the chance, they would have loved to either try again or would still like to be in a relationship with me. This isn’t a conceited comment.…
