Pardon me Dell, can you build me a computer out of LEGO?

Have you ever thought of replacing your computer case with something else? Some of us really lazy geeks don’t even bother with a case, we just have it all laying out and about. Well this guy decided to forgo the case go with Lego to support his computer parts: take a look here.

Canadian Do-Not-Call list starting Sept. 30th, it’s a FARCE!

I tried to go to Vista but still can’t bring myself to do it

Upon return of my vacation I had a meeting at work and learned that we would soon start the testing and piloting of Windows Vista for the client machines. It’s a good time to start thinking about it as XP end of life is in a couple of years if I am not mistaken. We [...]

Vacation is over & I’m glad to be home

Vacation at the cottage is over :( Sad to be over, but glad to be home. It was nice to unplug from the world for a while, spending a lot of time with the family. It was a blast to just relax with the kids and my wife all day.
