For the longest time, I’ve been wondering if Canada was ever going to get Spotify. It felt like it was this huge deal everywhere else, but for one reason or another (dealing with regulatory and industry types I suspect), not here. That is, until today. Spotify is pleased to announce that it is officially live …

Kids React To The NES
A while ago, kids reacted to a Game Boy. So it only makes sense that now they’re reacting to the old Nintendo Entertainment System. The parts where they start cursing at it when the game won’t start or when it looks like they’re about to die reminded me a bit of the way my friends …
Hey Guys! Have A Look At My New iPhone Floor!
So Jack. You’ve survived the crowds and the lines and you’ve got your hands on a shiny new iPhone 6. Can we have a look at it? Uh-oh…
Killer Robots: It’s Not Just In Science Fiction Anymore!
Serious as this article is, every time I see it, this song enters my head and won’t leave. I guess there’s a robotics company in KW that makes unmanned robots, and some of their buyers are the military and space agencies. They have decided that they do not want to be responsible for making killer …

It Looks Like Hitchbot Made It
Remember when I wrote about Hitchbot? Remember how I was afraid he wasn’t going to make it? It looks like he made it! I saw pictures that said he was there, followed by tweets that said he wasn’t quite there yet. But at any rate, if he’s not there, he’s super close! I have to …
Can You Drain Me Now?
A lot of us are pretty attached to our iPhones, but it is my sincere hope that most of us understand that no matter how important they are to us, it’s not worth trying to drain an entire pond to get yours back when you drop it over the side of a fishing boat and …
Nothing Has Popped Up Ye…
I saw this on Friday, and laughed, and laughed, and laughed. It would be funny to collect all the factory resets for a bunch of phones and do this as often as possible. That telemarketer will be one pissed off dude…but he’s one pissed off dude who can’t make a call until they fix it. …
Kids React To Even More Stuff
Apparently I’m behind on my kids reacting to stuff. Here are kids reacting to old computers, like maybe my old apple? and Game Boys. Kids really have a problem with having to put media in side devices. Walkman? computer? typewriter? game boy? It’s really weird to think about how that’s changed. I never thought about …
Kids React To Typewriters
I wondered when they would have kids reacting to typewriters… What? They did? That was pretty funny. Expecting the paper to be pre-installed and marvelling over whiteout, or screaming at the thought of making copies were all pretty funny moments.
Cell Phones On My Bed Sheets Make Me Toasty
The story of the teenaged girl’s cell phone burning a hole in her bed while she slept has been all over the news the last few days, but for some reason, nobody has bothered to point out or perhaps even notice the little bit of humour in it…so allow me. The main character in this …
