In my previous blog post, I told all of you that I was heading to Vermont.
I occasionally will head down to Highgate Spring, VT every summer to my country house to enjoy that remainder of my days left before school starts. This time was no different: the water splashed the deck, the birds could be [...]

I love Vermont!
To be honest, I would love to live in Vermont rather than in Montreal. I also think it’s the most beautiful part of the United States of America (scroll down for pics).
Anyway, I’m taking a break from blogging and heading over to my country house in High Gate Springs, VT! I can’t wait [...]

Straight from the horses mouth:
“Apple has determined that in very rare cases batteries in first generation iPod nanos sold between September 2005 and December 2006 can overheat causing failure and deformation of the iPod nano. Apple has received very few reports of such incidents (less than 0.001 percent of first generation [...]

It seems that Apple is having yet again MORE problems with their iPod Nano line.
They don’t know why it is happening for sure (they have yet to comment on it anyway), but I can tell you that it is. Japanese officials are reporting that Apple’s iPod Nano is the culprit in 3 fires due to [...]

If you follow me on Twitter or subscribe to my FriendFeed, then I guess you can consider myself as a friend, right? In my opinion, you make me part of my day. In return, I will most probably follow you and see what you’re up to, especially if I don’t really know who you are. I think that social networking has opened many passages [...]

The title says it all.
Remember the amazing opening ceremony in Beijing? Well, if you go, you might recall the camera footage taken from a helicopter while fireworks shoot by its side, making it look like the fireworks were to lead the helicopter to the Bird’s Nest. To bad it was all computer-generated fireworks, including a [...]

Remember the video I did on the zCover a while back? I was marveling over how great it was, and how it would change my computer life forever! Chris saw the video too! He told me he couldn’t stand the bloody thing (which, at the time, I was shocked to hear him say that)!
Well… It turns out [...]

Ok, well it isn’t a real living creature… nor did it terrorize anyone, but if it was real, it sure would have claimed a few victims! What I am talking about is the recent addition to the LA Museum of Natural History. The museum launched a new attraction in June called Dinosaur Encounters, which features puppeteers in life-like [...]

On Saturday while at a ancient Beijing tower, an American couple related to a United States Olympic volleyball coach were viciously attacked when a man wielding a dagger repetitively stabbed them both, killing the man and leaving the woman hospitalized in critical condition.

Immediately after the attack, the male chinese suspect committed suicide [...]
