Good bye HD DVD, hello Blu Ray

In: General

Well, I did it.  Last week in a moment of weakness I sold my HD DVD discs, put the HD DVD player up for auction, and went out and bought myself a Blu Ray player…a PS3 to be specific.
The deal at Rogers video was too good to pass up.  I’ve been eyeing a Blu Ray [...]

So uuber lame that it just might be cool

In: General

I like Marc Ecko, I had a really cool Marc Ecko yellow shirt once that Charlene hated with the firey heat of a thousand burning suns.  Unfortunately most of his stuff is a little too “Affliction” for my tastes.
However their new Star Wars line is pretty cool.  In my opinion this hoodie, may be the [...]

Maks O’Brian joins our clan

In: General

Today at 1:20pm, we welcomed the newest addition to our family as Maks O’Brian without too much fuss.
Char woke up at 4am, tossing and turning and woke me up around 5 (of course last night was the night I decided to catch up on some work and TV at the same time and ended up [...]

My media center box, the unit which does all of my TV recording and all that good stuff, finally gave up the ghost this week.  Early Wednesday morning we had a big storm which flickered our power.  When I got home last night I decided to see what the Media Center had recorded recently.  When [...]

iPhone…you are dead to me

In: General

When Steve Jobs first announced the 2nd generation iPhone, and Rogers then announced that it would be coming to Canada, I wanted to buy one.  As a matter of fact, if it had been available that day, I would likely have forgone the P.O. process and rushed right out to buy one.
However, lucklily I live [...]

In: General

This is the first in what I hope to become a monthly installment called “The Gadget Dad”, a look at the gadgets that I find incredibly useful in my everyday life. Right now there are things that are not in your house that you can’t live without, and you don’t even know it.
Take the Harmony [...]

I got served by the Windows Home Server

In: General

With our lives relying more and more on digital media, and Char’s initial forays into the land of Freelance Editing, it’s time to get serious about back-up, restore, and all of the other PC things that most folks take for granted. I’ve read some really great reviews about the HP MediaSmart Home Server, so [...]

Montreal is Affliction crazy!

In: General

I’m not sure what I’ll remember more, the crowd which was so loud that my ears are still ringing today…or the fact that I have now seen 20,000 Affliction t-shirts and never want to see one again.
The show was amazing, George won, Serra was dominated, and the crowd went wild. The UFC has never [...]

Oh Noes, I’m Naked!

In honour of CSS Naked Day, I’m letting Radical Hive go naked for a day (and for those of you who don’t know what a naked Radical Hive looks like and you came here after April 9th, check out the picture above.
What is CSS Naked Day?
The idea behind this event is to promote Web Standards. [...]
