When Stargate Universe was first on the horizon, I had high hopes for it. After all Stargate SG-1 was awesome, and Stargate Atlantis was just as good, if not better (Editor’s Note: We like to pretend that Stargate Infinity doesn’t exist). Unfortunately, my high hopes for the new series were not to be realized in [...]

Change of Blog Schedule
For a while now we’ve been posting 5 days a week at 10am. This has worked fairly well for us, but as of late it has gotten a bit sticky. We find ourselves having to “cheat” more often on the times of the posts. As such, John and I have decided to push the posting [...]
Quick Review: Sipdroid
At work we’ve been playing with SIP softphone clients. There are a number of remote workers and this would be much more convenient for them to use than something like Skype.

Review: Nikita (2010) after 2 episodes
September is an interesting month when it comes to the TV. There are actually shows worth watching coming on the air. Occasionally there is even a promising (ie not reality TV) new show that might be worth watching. One of the new ones this season is “Nikita” styled after Le Femme Nikita of the 90s [...]
A day with the iPad
Recently, I decided to challenge myself and actually use OSX (for a daily machine) and an iPad (because it was there). Part of this was to increase my familiarity with the devices and partially because my workplace runs basically all Mac. I was going to have to get used to them sooner or later, and [...]
