So as it turns out, I happen to be checking Google Chrome updates over the past several days as often as I could due to the earlier announced update about Google Chrome soon to support Bookmark syncing.

Workaround corporate firewall web toolbox skill level: Basic

Bradley Gillap — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 04:14:16 +0000

Many employers deploy security to block access to certain websites treating their employee's like children on the Internet. The reasons vary from protecting computers on the network to keeping employee's from sharing sensitive information with the outside world. In most situations this is counter intuitive to employee productivity as the line between work and home blur into the use of the Internet. I'd like to explore some of the services that allow you to break out of the firewall to get things done using your web toolbox.

The BioAware video intro revision 2

In the coming weeks the webcasts at Bastardgeek will also have the option for video. We are waiting on some parts that should hopefully fix a ground loop issue or otherwise known as 60 cycle. In the meantime, I have been working away on slight video and audio issues to make things just right. Last night I built the video intro for the BioAware webcast and thought I would share it.

Follow up on the Blackberry Tour 9630 from Telus

Sheldon King — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 02:26:49 +0000

Well it has been a solid 2 weeks since I bought the Tour! I have been playing with it quite solid since. Within the first 24 hours I had to recharge the device twice because of solid internet use over a period of 8 hours. Most would think that means bad battery life, however with the solid 3G usage downloading and browsing the net that isnt bad........
