I’m not sure if there’s some functionality change that I missed or if it really is broken, but something is really wrong with Google Reader. And it’s been broken for weeks. Here’s the problem: I go to Reader, and click on All Items. It tells me there are 95 items. I scroll through them, or […]
Watching Olympic Hockey. http://stevex.net/bigtweet/ (Last time I'll mention it, I promise). # @travelmop I was just thinking the #BellTV HD signal looked a little fuzzier than usual. Maybe the stadium is just foggy. in reply to travelmop # Are there as many Bell ads on the Rogers coverage of the Olympics? Seems like every 2nd […]
Brantford Chili Cookoff today in Harmony Square. # Canada's Olympic curling team is incredible!

I’ve been looking at a number of Flex frameworks lately, and common patterns used in Flex application development. One thing that surprises me is how often I’ve been encountering singletons. The Singleton pattern allows a class to enforce that there is only ever one instance of the class, and usually gives you an easy way […]
I hooked my Google Reader shared items up to Twitter. Let's see how that goes. # You know Mafia Wars (a Facebook) game is big when the 2nd Google hit for "delivery truck" is a Mafia Wars related link. # Build Failed makes me sad. Build Fixed makes me happy. # On Removing Features: Lukas […]
I blogged a while back about soft water, and the slimy feeling that you get from apparently not being able to rinse off soap with soft water. Let me step back a bit and give you the whole story (and a solution). A few months ago, we moved into a house just outside the city, […]
It seems we’re on the verge of a tablet revolution. CES starts today, and there’s been a lot of buzz about tablet form factor computers. Apple and Microsoft have dabbled with tablets before. Microsoft with their Pen Computing and Pen Windows, and Apple with the Newton, and really to a lesser extent, the iPhone. The […]
