Review of the CBC Stijl
On CBC’s website, the blurb box next to this pimpin’ piece of wood makes the grand claim that it is “guaranteed to replace taxis”… and it does not disappoint. So first the nitty gritty, the basics: the Stijl is a 7-ply maple board with a 34 inch length and a 24 inch wheelbase. I threw some Randal 180s and 70mm Sec9 Dual Duros on mine and let loose on the streets to...

the comeback post: critical theory edition
This is the comeback post: because I’m coming back to blogging..again. I thought I’d do a critical-theory themed post for this latest comeback, since I’ve been spending way too much time looking up good videos about it on YouTube lately. First up, we’ve got a real treat. Some actual clips from the great Debate on Human Nature between Noam Chomsky and Michel Foucault. ...

Bruce Lee Interview (Full)
Bruce Lee has been an idol of mine ever since I was 13. It was then that I first saw his most famous movie, Enter the Dragon, and instantly became fascinated by this powerful and wise man. This is an interview that he gave in 1971 with Pierre Berton. I believe that anyone interested in martial arts, philosophy, or self-discipline should take 30 minutes out of their life to watch this, his only TV...

How Wired.com Tracked the iPhone Finder →
In response to Wired.com’s scoop identifying the finder of the lost iPhone prototype, many have asked me how we did it. The process of uncovering digital footprints to identify Brian Hogan was indeed challenging and enlightening, so I thought I’d tell the story here. Heck, it might even teach…

Adobe Kuler →
Props to @cbowns for pointing me towards this handy little tool. Kuler helps creative-types come up with color schemes that work well together. It is flexible, powerful, and has a community aspect to it, so you can share your self-created themes and palettes with everyone else. Very nice for artists and web designers alike.

on 'private numbers'
The other day, I received a call from a ‘private number.’ I did not answer it. Why, you ask? Principle. I do not answer blocked numbers on principle. I do not want to answer the phone if I do not know who is calling, just as I do not want to accept a Facebook friend invitation from someone I don’t know. So please people: if you want to phone me, and you’re number is...

indispensable tool for the student →
I am a tech hound and a gadget hound. I love testing, using, acquiring, studying, and fiddling with all things digital. As such, there are ways in which I incorporate technology into my life and my daily work routine that might seem superfluous to “normies.” However, one tool that I have begun to use as of late (since last November) I believe to be absolutely indispensable tool, even...

Let’s accept this video as “the future”, for a moment.
People will be even stupider. As computers “teach” us even the most mundane and simplest of daily tasks, our ability to solve problems on any scale will grow weak and under-exercised, and the large majority of society will resemble something more like...

Apple Rumors (my $0.02)
There have been a lot of speculation, rumors, gossip, and so on, regarding Apple’s fabled unicorn tablet, the iPad. Forecasts at this time don’t predict any lightening up of the rumor-storms over the next few months. In that spirit, I have decided to take a moment and thrown in my two cents. So, without much more ado, here they are, my predictions for Apple rumors from today (February...
