Twenty Five
Written on January 19, 2012 at 10:01 pm, by wunderbar
As I sit here writing this, I’m only a few hours from my 25th birthday. That really blows my mind. Not because I’m 25, but because I don’t know where the last year went. 2011 was a year that I won’t soon forget, and not just for good things. It has been a wild 12 Read more...
The Twitter redesign – it’s about the people
Written on December 12, 2011 at 7:30 pm, by wunderbar
Yes, the Twitter redesign is different. No, there are parts of it I don’t like either. But yes, it is better for Twitter. Too much is being made of how it’s changing too much and it’s not the same way it was 5 years ago. People say the same thing about Facebook, and last time Read more...
The Rapidly Changing Internet – Online Advertising
Written on December 6, 2011 at 10:17 pm, by wunderbar
The internet. Probably the greatest invention of the information age. It is revolutionizing how we do everything. From communication, to shopping, to consuming information, to advertising, to working, and much more. Unfortunately the internet is advancing and changing so much that it can be hard to adapt to. Unfortunately this is leading to some pretty Read more...
Shaw puzzles by increasing speed on extreme
Written on April 28, 2011 at 6:46 pm, by wunderbar
On April 20th, Shaw increased the bandwidth speed on their high speed extreme from 15Mbps to 25Mbps. They have done this after a lengthy customer consultation spanning the month of February over the concept of Usage Based Billing. I’ve been thinking about this off and on since I heard about the increase, and even though Read more...
-15 Never Felt So Good!
Written on December 10, 2009 at 8:48 am, by wunderbar
Winter hit with a vengeance here about a week ago. First, the snow came, about 25 centimeters(11 inches) in about 30 hours. That’s actually quite a bit in one day for Edmonton, and the city was nearly crippled because it was so slippery, and so much snow, the side roads were barely drivable while the Read more...
My Christmas shopping irony
Written on November 30, 2009 at 5:26 pm, by wunderbar
Last year, I did the majority of my Christmas shopping online. I got the convenience of not having to brave the crowds in December, and could have everything I wanted shipped to home, or work. It seemed like such a good idea at the time. But, at the end, what actually happened was that I Read more...

Okay, so it’s been waaaaaaaay too long since I put anything up here, my bad. Sometimes it’s just hard to find enough hours in the day to eat and sleep, never mind put a good blog post together. Instead of coming back with an epic blog post now, I’m going to just post a mashup Read more...
Why Windows Vista Failed, and why you have no one to blame but yourself – Part 3
Written on August 16, 2009 at 7:52 pm, by wunderbar
This is the conclusion of the three part series about Windows Vista, for parts 1 and 2, click here and here. In 2001, Windows XP was released to the world. At the time, it was Microsoft’s best operating system release. Windows Vista improved on it in nearly every way. Let me say that again. Windows Read more...
Windows Vista failed, and you have no one to blame but yourself
Written on July 11, 2009 at 2:55 pm, by wunderbar
As Microsoft prepares Windows 7 for release this October, I wanted to take a look back at Windows Vista. Windows Vista is the most stable, most secure, and has the most innovations of any operating system Microsoft has ever made. It is also their second biggest failure(the ill conceived Windows ME holds that distinction). The Read more...
Some Random Musings
Written on July 8, 2009 at 9:03 pm, by wunderbar
Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve sat down to put together a post. Part of that is that I haven’t had all that much to write about, but the real big issue is that I’ve been battling a sprained finger on my left hand. It may not seem like much, but try typing with Read more...
