Stupid Zombies
I admit I like to play games on my Galaxy Tab more than on my desktop. I often have time while I am sitting and waiting for my kids, as most parents do. I enjoy a good round of Angry Birds, but since it is close to Halloween I thought I would share a game [...]

Netflix Comes to Canada
I have known for a little while that the Netflix movie service was going to open up shop in Canada. In the US Netflix is similar to Zip.ca here in Canada, you can choose movies and they will mail them to you. Actually it is really the the other way around, Zip.ca is similar to [...]

ES File Manager
You know you are a computer geek when instead of looking first for cool and exciting games to play on your new Android phone you go hunting for a file manager. Not that I did not download some games as well but a decent file manager is just a requirement to organize all of the [...]

WordPress Android App

Zip.ca Review
Update: When Netflix opened up in Canada I cancelled my Zip.ca membership. While the service was ok it is not near as convenient as Netflix.ca and streaming. It has been three weeks since I left Blockbuster and started trying out Zip.ca for DVD rentals. It has been an interesting change to go from wandering around [...]

Reasons Not to Buy an iPhone
My cell phone is nothing special, certainly not when you hold it up to a smart phone like an iPhone or an Android phone, but it does the basics plus I can surf and check email. Using Opera Mini has made that much more enjoyable. I have been tempted to get a smart phone recently [...]

Goodbye Blockbuster, Hello Zip.ca

by mringlein I am sitting at the Saturn dealer getting our 2007 Saturn ION serviced, once again, and I am amazed at the fact that they do not offer people a free wi-fi connection. In my opinion any business that has a waiting room should just automatically have a free wi-fi connection. With more and [...]
