Discount Cables

Cables cost a fortune, typically, it’s one of the few items that electronics stores actually make good money on. My last trip through Staples in search of an HDMI cable would have set me back $80, but I know that’s retarded so I hit up the smaller computer stores instead and picked one up [...]

Got Gas? Burn some water.

An old school buddy of mine was telling me a while back that he’s been making his own bio-diesel for his vehicles and that the stuff works awesome. In the last 6 months he’s only had to spend around $50 on diesel and that he’s put 10’s of thousands of KM on the cars [...]

USB Temperature Sensor

New (used) speakers

After using the same set of speakers for several years now, I had a chance to upgrade tonight a very good price.  Someone hard up for money had a 5.1 set to get rid of so I went for it.  They’re bigger and more powerful than my old ones, which means they don’t fit this [...]

Projectors & Accessories

I’d love to have a projector in the living room, it would be so cool to watch movies or play games on the wall. Costs have come down a lot on them lately which is good because for games like EQ2 with all the reading required, it would be painful to play on standard [...]

New Router

Not too long ago my old Netgear router gave up the ghost. I had gotten it on sale from Futureshop for $69 several years ago when routers were commonly around $125 or more, so I can’t complain about the lifespan really. When looking for a new router I had a chance to buy [...]

Hear Your Music

I know that you spent really good money on your CD, and that you want to be able to listen to it while you’re working out, but sometimes the machines at the gym are louder than a construction zone.

A/V Presentations

I’d love to have been able to attend E3 at some point in my life, to see all the latest and greatest games and technology being presented in a big way. Huge hi-def screens and loud booming sound systems all showing off cutting edge gear. Seriously, what’s the point of promoting masterpieces [...]

Cellswapper

One thing that really irritates me about Cell Phones is the long contract I always get stuck in. My current one was a 3 year contract but thankfully it ends this January. During this time I’m stuck with the phone I have unless I want to pay a fortune for just a phone, [...]

My Canon camera

I love my little Canon. A little over 3 years ago, shortly after our daughter was born, we decided it was time to get a digital camera. My wife just loves taking pictures and getting rolls and rolls of film developed gets very expensive. I had a few things in [...]
