The government has tabled a new law aimed at fighting child porn online in Canada. It’s apparently a big problem in Canada, but the new laws don’t really seem to accomplish anything that the existing laws didn’t already accomplish. I mean, if it’s already illegal to rob people, then do you need a new law […]
The house we moved into is a bit of an oddball in some ways, and one of them is in the HVAC system. The original house is about 30 years old, and there was an addition built on about 10 years ago. The utility room in the original house is in a location that makes […]

MacHeist runs occasional deals on Mac software and right now there’s a pretty good one: Get six Mac apps, absolutely free. I’m not familiar with most of the apps but the one of them that I am makes the whole bundle worth getting. WriteRoom. WriteRoom gives you a completely distraction-free screen to write in. It […]
The iPhone went on sale in China last week, but a stripped-down iPhone without WiFi. Turns out, people aren’t buying it. Surprise surprise. So often we see Chinese knock-offs of products like the iPhone whose quality is pretty seriously compromised compared to the original product.
