First Post From The iPhone
I have no idea how this is going to go or even if it will go at all, but let’s try. Oh, and apologies in advance for the typos. I have no idea what I want to write about here. I’m doing this more just to see if I can. Right now I’m sitting in …
How I’m Doing With My iPhone 4 And A Look Ahead To The iPhone 5
Since I just got an iPhone 4, of course that means it’s almost time for the iPhone 5 to hit the streets. It wouldn’t be right if I wasn’t behind the times now, would it? But don’t worry, I’m not angry. I’m not the type of guy who always has to have the newest thing. …

Steve Got An iPhone…
…And so far, he hates it! Of all the songs in the world that could have popped into Carin’s head as she watched me play with my shiny new phone, this was the winner. I’m still trying to figure out how I feel about that. I probably don’t wanna know, actually. Yes, I caved. My …
Dear Rogers: Get Bent. Thank You
Update: Our pal James has suggested that this post needs a soundtrack. He is correct. Yes, they gave us a nice discount thanks to that ridiculous internet outage last week, but based on what I’ve just seen, Rogers can still go fuck themselves, preferably in the eye with something large, flaming and uncomfortable. Our bill …

It’s things like this that make me think that, in spite of all the great accessibility work they’ve done, Apple kind of sucks.

Long Weekend Audio: Weighty Issues
The audio machine keeps on rollin’. This morning we got to do something I’ve been meaning to do for a while. I got to show you our talking scale…which sounds like my mom! It’s kinda creepy hearing a voice that sounds like your mom telling you your weight. It’s a quick one, only 10 minutes, …
Long Weekend Audio: I Like Traffic Lights…
Thank Monty Python for the title. Well! Aren’t we the audio crankin’ machines? We decided this one would have a different twist on it. We decided to take you, the loyal vomiteers, on a walk with us.
