I think it’s safe to say that we’re in a “Microsoft week” this week, with the release of Windows 7 and the Windows 7 Whopper, Bing getting Twitter and Facebook search indexing access and probably a whole lot more that I didn’t pay attention to since I’m more to the other side of the force … Read more →

I’m not going to get into a whole deal about fanboys/fanbois here, Scott Sharkey from 1up seems to have nailed it pretty good in his video, where he believes that the world needs fanboys. If we didn’t have fanboys we would only have geniuses, intellectual discussions and peace in the world. Plus free candy for … Read more →

I’ve been blogging with TechPatio.com and providing the world with tech news and stuff for just three months – and I just put out another blog. I call it ApplePatio.com. Yes, you guessed it, twice.

In this week’s Friday Flick Find I have a real hustle video for you. I like to play poker and I like to “hustle” for fun (small “bar bets” etc. at family gatherings are always a fun way to entertain), so this video was right down the alley when I found it on YouTube earlier … Read more →

Today’s Friday Flick Find video is a video I made myself, yep that’s right, I made it myself so it’s brand new on YouTube and fresh out of the stove (though it’s a while back since I actually recorded it). While this video also focuses around guns (BB guns and an air rifle), it’s really … Read more →

Caroline Wozniacki Breasts… that was the 4th most searched term in Google last Tuesday (September 8th, 2009) approximately 1 hour before her quarterfinal tennis match against Svetlana Kuznetsova. Apparently the Americans, who also gave Wozniacki her new nickname, Sunshine, were interested in a bit more than just tennis, at least before the game, that she … Read more →
Two girls at the age of 10 and 12 got lost in a stormwater drain in South Australia yesterday. When everybody else might have called 000 (“911” in Australia), those two girls decided to seek help by posting a Facebook status update instead. It is a worry for us because it causes a delay on … Read more →
