Department of incorrect conclusions

In: Internet

I read a lot of things about the web. One of my favourite websites, Design Float is kind of like Digg for web design. I like it because while it's updated a few times a day, the content is specific to something I'm interested in (Web Design), and there are at max 3 [...]

Too fast to be viral

In: Internet

The marketing campaign for The Dark Knight, the sequel to the hugely successful Batman Returns is simply brilliant. The only problem with it is that while the marketing firm is obviously trying to create brilliant viral ideas in the vein of I Love Bees and the Subservient Chicken, everything is happening so fast that [...]

A service I willingly pay for

In: Internet

I'm not a member of the “Cult of Apple”. I think they're an excellent consumer electronics manufacturer, but not a particularly great computer manufacturer (I know it's blasphemy…but I'm just not a huge fan of OSX). The iPod in particular is an elegant device. Almost as great is iTunes despite some incredible [...]

This month marks the One Year Anniversary of the re-launch of All New Comics. We got our start in August of 2005, but it wasn’t until April 2006 that we went “public”. In the beginning we just sold to friends and people who learned of us through word of mouth. The site [...]

Web 2.0 and you

In: Internet

This post is part of my new resolution to post at least once a week, every week on this site. Sometimes I'll write about purely personal things, sometimes I'll write about things that interest me, who knows what it will be? The point is, there will always be something here, every week, by [...]

PS3 Insanity!!!

In: Internet

The Playstation 3 went for sale today, people lined up for days, and the action was fast and furious. Stores got 15 units, people lined up since Tuesday, and in the aftermath the eBay sales are just stupid.
A quick check on eBay sees that a PS3 sold online for $15,000.00.
That's just plain silly.
Meanwhile, I [...]

Spam is out of control!

In: Internet

Okay, I'm at a loss. I'm being entirely overwhelmed by spam, to the point where it is taking an inordinate amount of time out of my day to sort through what is Spam and what is not. Email spam, comment spam, hotmail spam, gmail spam, work spam, home spam, and now frigging Email [...]

Cool web sites that I like

In: Internet

I'm a web guy, it's what I do, it's what I like, some might even go so far as to call me a “mouse potatoe”. So these are the links that I've accumulated this week. Good sites, fun sites, and sites that I go to all the time:
TWiT.tv - relaunched and slightly rebranded. [...]

Good design, wicked websites

In: Internet

The internet is all full of all manner of wonderment and amazeness.
Dave Werner's portfolio
A 26 year old kid who went to the Portfolio Center in Atlanta and came out the other side as “one to watch”. Holy crap. I've never seen such an inspiring and amazing work of art.
Okay Samurai
Dave Werner's site with [...]

Where did TSN.ca/Wrestling go?

In: Internet

I've gotten this question quite a bit in my in-box lately, so here's my official, unofficial answer to it. We closed down the TSN.ca/Wrestling site on Tuesday, and replaced the news/views area with a TV Schedule. The move while a fairly big emotional one, wasn't that big of a deal with respect to [...]
