Generation Why?

Friday, May 16th, 2008

Today I stumbled upon an interesting article via Digg. The article talks about Why Gen Y is Going to Change the Web, a particular section resonated strongly with me.
Work Isn’t Their Whole World: Sure, they’re going to go to work, but it had better be fun. For Gen Y, work isn’t their identity. It’s just [...]

Opera 9.5 vs Firefox 3

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Some might remember my infamous Opera 9 vs Firefox 2 vs Internet Explorer 7 post. I’ve decided to take a look back in the past and repeat the experience as new versions of both Opera and Firefox appear to be nearing release. In contrast I’ve chosen to leave the upcoming IE8 out of the battle [...]

Belly Button

I’m young, I grew up with Internet and I’m the center of the Universe. In my computer, there’s my documents, my pictures, my music, my videos. Only my own stuff.

Vista Is Just Fine

Saturday, October 6th, 2007

While listening to the latest TWiT, it was brought to my attention that the world seems to hate Windows Vista. That is not just coming from technology personnalities like Leo Laporte and Patrick Norton. A few weeks ago, I heard a friend from work saying she is shopping for a laptop but doesn’t want to have Vista [...]

HP Scanjet 2200c

Sunday, June 10th, 2007

Back in 2000 I bought myself a scanner. It was only $99 CND and found it to be quite useful from time to time. It’s nothing fancy but I really have a practical use from the HP Scanjet 2200c. I remember back then was the time Windows XP became available and the documentation for the [...]
