Today Microsoft released a technical preview of Windows 10. So I’ve started looking for a place to install it for testing. I started with a virtual machine, but couldn’t get it to install. My next step was to try and setup a dual boot on one of our computers. It failed. Couldn’t get it to …

POD: Inside a Tablet
Today I found myself staring inside a tablet, trying to fix a broken power connector. Of course I failed because hardware has never really been my strong point. Still it was interesting to see what was inside.
POD: MineCraft Getaway
Today we have a picture from one of my MineCraft worlds. It’s taken a while for me to try it, but with Jacob spending so much time playing I thought I should give it a try. It’s a surprisingly addictive game, one that I’m really enjoying playing with my boy.
Tech Tuesday: A Big Unboxing
For months I’ve known it was time to get a new computer, but it’s a hard thing to pick a computer. This week I finally pulled the trigger and got a new computer. Well work pulled the trigger, but I picked what it was aimed at. I considered a number of options for my computer, …

POD: TTC Bus
Today as I was heading back to the office I was a couple of new TTC buses. Well at least it was the first time I’d seen low floor articulated buses. Turns out they have been on the road since December. It’s nice to see new buses on Toronto streets, I just can’t wait till …

POD: Haking the Wii
From Picture of the Day 2013 For weeks Jacob has been asking me to hak the Wii so he could play Newer Super Mario Bros. Today I finally did, first with our old Wii and then on the main one. It was a simple process and he was so happy once it was done. I …

When Backups Fail
Recently I have found myself thinking about why I started to blog. What did I hope to accomplish by writing in such a public way. My First blog was called Michael’s Thoughts. I started it to write about becoming a father. At least that’s what I think it was. You see I don’t have my …
