I must admit, I love not using a mouse – the trackpad is where it’s at – but going from desktop computer isn’t always accommodating to such needs. That was until I discovered the Mighty Mouse and its wonderful nipple. In 2001 I got a hand-me-down HP Omnibook laptop that was my best friend over […]

I put the question out in the tech-o-sphere last week and haven’t been able to find any answers until today. Basically, we were looking for a desktop-sharing, online web conferencing application or service (e.g. Webex) that would work with a Mac. Everyone I asked seemed to think it was something that’s needed, and would be […]

I’ve done a few live blogs in my time… well maybe about 3 or 4, the most “valuable” being the live blog of Matthew Good‘s living room performance back in August [Miss604]. Seth Godin recently made some valid points about liveblogging as a medium – something he observed at a recent conference. Compare these liveblog […]

At the gym this morning – yes I’ve started going to the gym – I had my ipod on random and came across a song I haven’t heard in a very long time. It was by a band called Less Than Jake that I made a website for in 1996. It grew pretty quickly and […]

After work today I met up with John and headed over to 1 Alexander to join in the SuperHappyDevHouse hijinx. Most were there to brainstorm and come up with fun, neat little ways to geek, hack and play with the weebernet but some are here simply to eat, drink, and be geeky – ourselves included. […]

Despite the morning news and radio talk show hosts telling me that it was going to be pouring rain yesterday and today, it’s been a gorgeous week so far in Vancouver. I can’t remember the last time I used a song lyric in the title of a blog post, and I also can’t recall the […]

Yesterday after signing into my personalized Google homepage I noticed the Google logo to the left of the search bar changed to “iGoogle”. Now I think this pertains to the Firefox iGoogle plugin but could it also have something to do with the new themes being offered. Today we’re releasing six themes for the personalized […]

Right now John and I are sharing his digital camera. Anything we take on our cell phones is easily Bluetooth-ed to our respective computers but any photos taken on the same camera can prove to be an issue. When it up to my computer I don’t really want all his 20 pictures, I just want […]

I’ve never worked in such an officey-office before so when faced with a drawer full of shiney, colourful supplies, I tend to go a little nuts. Most recently I discovered a love for two particular items; Post-It Tabs and Correction Tape. Post-It tabs/flags are amazing. Courtesy of our friends at 3M (okay I’m not really […]

I just added two more widgets to my dashboard (this PC girl is thinkin her Mac’s lookin’ cooler all the time). The first is a default flight tracker that came with my dashboard, which is coming in handy with my in-laws in the air right now. The second is a newly-added Cup Companion, keeping you […]
