Pic Surfing made Easy

If you've ever found yourself surfing a forum and there are a list of links to pics, you'll love this little diddy.

Unliker, when selected, gets all the links to pictures on the page and opens all the images in one new window (only one of the many options)

Don't get it?
meh, check the site here

Blogs, Music, Montreal

I stumbled upon this blog while trying to figure out what an 'Ipod battle' is.

Turns out the blog is a nice like quazi scenster blog outa Montreal where I might be heading for a couple months.

Give Midnight Poutine a peep

Oh, and if you're wondering what an Ipod battle is, the short story,
Each team takes turns to play 1:30 of a song, then after 10 songs the crowd has to cheer for the team they liked best, and a decibel meter decides who wins.


Seems kinda lame, and kinda fun at the same time. I'll have to check one to decide for myself


Here's a vid from Paris, couple of the Ed Banger boys drop in

LG Canada jumps into the touchphone market


Mid April will bring some sunshine (and probably another snow fall) to Canada, as LG shines Canadians with 3 new substitutes to the iPhone.

The company's carrier partners are touting exclusive deals for the new cell lineup: Telus is carrying the LG Venus, which will be first to market in Canada; then Rogers will launch the LG VU and Bell will launch the LG Vantage.


Of course, theses phones have been available in the US for months, and I'm sure for a year in Asia.

Here in Canada, we just have to get used to purchasing our phones out of country.

Pretty sad how the Nokia N95 is free w/ contract in the UK, where as it is not avail be through carriers here in Canada at all, and runs about $800 online.

*sigh*
All info on these mediocre phones available Here

I left my phone in my Matchbox...


The phone works as a standalone mobile device or fits into different “jackets” that basically take control of the mini core and can act as smartphones, game phones, or music phones. Expect Modu to hit the US late this year or early next.

Green Power!


The idea is to coat every piece of steel cladding with a solar cell paint. As steel is passed through the rollers multiple coatings of of the solar cell system are applied to it. Based on the preliminary research, the materials that are being applied are suited to capturing low level solar radiation, which means that they should work just as well

Internet Justice


On March 12, Jesse McPherson returned from his trip to SXSW only to find that his home in Philadelphia had been burglarized. The thief made off with his TV, an old Powerbook, and his Xbox 360. Naturally, he was upset, so he took it upon himself to call up some local pawn shops in the area to see if anyone had come in trying to hock his stuff.


Basically, the thief sends the owner an XBox msg saying I stole your XBox and you can buy it back.
Thanks to the internetz, thief was discovered, and all is right again in the world.
