  • Make your own cool abstract wallpaper…..

    If you like wallpapers like the one above — you know the abstract, grungy, urban silhouette style — but don’t know enough about Adobe packages, you’re in luck. Head over to X3Studios and use their free tool to create your very own, one of a kind, wallpaper. It’s like doing Photoshop and Illustrator by numbers,…

  • Epson Develops World’s First 4K Compatible HTPS TFT Liquid Crystal Panel for 3LCD Projectors

  • Hide your Email from Spambots…..

    Have you ever put your email online in a comment for example. Were you concerned about Spambots harvesting your email address? If so, did you use some weird trick (eg: replacing @ with “at”) to try to hide your address from spambots? That’s where Albion Research’s Email Address Obfuscator comes in handy. Follow this link,…

  • Desktops Wallpapers that will blow your mind…..

    Yah, I know, Wallpaper…..boring…..right? Well, take a look at the walls over at Desktopography and I think you’ll agree they are special. My Favourite right now (has lots of Toronto themes).

  • Copy Cat will copy your files off unreadable media…..

    Yep, neat little free utility I came across today. Copy Cat 2.0 actually skip the bytes which are not readable from file and copy all other bytes therefore it extracts max data which is normally not done by windows copy operation. Copy Cat can be helpful at times when you want to copy a CD…

  • Synergy+ lets you share a mouse and keyboard between several computers.

    I’ve been using Synergy for about 3 years now and never really thought about writing about it. Tonight I came across Synergy+ which is a maintenance fork of the original Synergy. So I thought about writing a small note about it since it’s now maintained again. Synergy+ (synergy-plus) lets you easily share a single mouse…

  • EasyVPN Rocks…..

    It’s probably not right to compare the Comodo EasyVPN with it’s cousin LogMeIn’s Hamachi2. Both products are free and allow you to setup groups of privately connected computers and access them from within that private network. Both are available for Windows only (although there are command line versions of hamachi for Mac and Linux). The…

  • Berlin Wall, It’s been 20 years already…..

    Wow, I still remember this day. I was a first year Mathie at University of Waterloo and was having my “liquid lunch” at the bombshelter when the live coverage of “Mauerfall” started……What a amazing experience that was. Follow this link for a set of amazing pictures from past and present, from the fall of the…

  • Project Pomegranate…..

    Had sometime to kill on the weekend and a couple of Pomegranates were asking to be eaten :-). So I decided to photograph their trip to my tummy….complete flickr set here.
