I’ve finally pitched my brilliantly ancient Blackberry (deserves an award for surviving this long). I decided the only way for me to go was to get an iPhone. It’s now been nearly a week and I must say this platform is a must have for any computery geeky types out there. It makes me antiquated Pocket PC cower in …

Howdy friends, after some down time, I’ve moved the dawning.ca server on to a new web server I’ve configured. I had moved it over to a Linode VM for awhile, but in trying to cut down my personal costs, I’ve since migrated it back home. Anyway, I quite enjoyed using Linode for awhile and if you’re interested in having a …

In July of 2000 I met up with a bunch of people I only knew were follow members of CISV, but from a bunch of other countries. For about a month we hung out together at a camp in Rio De Janeiro.

Well, it may have been 7 years ago now, but I was cruising through my files and came across this old video.. I don’t really know who recorded the original footage, but I decided to clean it up a bit and put it out there, after all, there’s little point having this video if it’s not shared! So, here it is..

Upon rebooting my upgraded system, my video driver for xorg was …

I came across this video via Slashdot of all places and man, I gotta say, this is an absolute masterpiece in my books! Excellent/brillant work here! Brings back some excellent memories for me, that is the song does.. The hardware is just freaky and awesome.

I was playing WoW the other day with a some friends.. I was playing it on Ubuntu linux (using WINE) and I guess some mystical memory leak decided to creep up and kick my butt. As such, from the WoW side of things I was disconnected while running in Stormwind City. About 33.53 seconds later, I had managed to login …

So the other day I was standing in Cami’s kitchen when we heard a loud scraping sound come from outside. We soon realized the sound was that of a car driving straight in to the side of my parked car. I ran outside just in time to clearly observe a man who had been a passenger essentially move over and sit on top of the …

I did this cool mouse mod where I put a wireless card inside of my mouse - I love it because the mouse looks exactly the same as before, except now it has wireless functionality!!! This hack got featured over on Hackaday.com! Roll on over to the project page for this hack!

While my latest round of HypnoOrb progress hasn’t yet resulted in another fully functional design, it’s a good step in that direction. I’ve been learning to make good use of Cadsoft’s free version of their PCB design tool called Eagle. At this point I’ve been kind of stuck on getting the path of the wires routed well. …
