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 [...]
Joined the Smartphone Age
It has been a long time coming but I finally broke down and bought a smartphone. A Motorola Milestone to be precise. You might have heard about this phone, it is called the Droid in the United States. Here in Canada it has been released by Telus. The Telus version of the Milestone was released [...]
Watch Hulu in Canada – Part 2
Update: The service in this post does not appear to work any longer. Your best bet is to try the Hide My Ass! Pro VPN Service. Worked last time I tried it. By far the most popular post I have written here is my How to Watch Hulu in Canada. Unfortunately the method using Hotspot [...]

Free Public Wi-Fi

In my opinion any business that has a waiting room should just automatically have a free wi-fi connection. With more and [...]

Like most people that work with computers and the Internet regularly I am often asked for advice on computers. I try to help people when I can, but there is only so much you can do without physically going over to the persons house and fixing the problem for them. Many of the problems people [...]
