Chris Brooker Rocking it so you don't have to

A week or so ago I get an email asking if I want to come to an exclusive blogger event with not a lot of details, I checked my calendar and had nothing so I said sure. A few days after that I got an email that said it was for the the HP TouchPad and I [...]

I don’t have anything great to post. Was going to write about PodCamp, but it was so long ago now. All I could do is post pictures. PodCamp was awesome BTW. I leave you with this ridiculousness I saw while driving to work this morning. WTF? A Pontiac G5 is not “Gods Car”. God needs a car [...]

This is either the best or craziest f’ing thing I ever seen. In New Zealand an add agency replaced a plank in public benches so that when people with short short or skirts sat down their ad was impressed on the back of their thighs. Apparently this mark last for up to an hour and [...]

As  a guy that spend most of my time building web things. Hex code colours are an everyday thing. This amazing web app, that can also be the screen saver on OSX, converts the current time into Hex and display the background as the colour.

  Why? Oh why?, originally uploaded by cbrooker1. Why is it that I always end up on a plane with power outlets and USB charging when the flight is under an hour?

First I have to start by saying that I’m totally disapointed by all the different computer cases out there. I’ve had this problem for a while, but this is the first time I’m writting it down. I’ve typically had small computers, Ultra-portables they’re typically called. Small, light, which is exactly what I want. Something that [...]

Hey all, If anyone even reads this anymore . I’ll be posting again! I was having some major server problems after the move. The server was unresponsive, the site would barely load, the images wouldn’t come in, etc. It was a mess. After a long time of screwing the with the config the problem was [...]

Let me start by saying, I’ve been a shitty friend. Not a shitty friend by my actions but a shitty friend by my inactions. I’ve failed to stay in touch, failed to make a phone call, failed to be there. If you haven’t notice, I haven’t been around much. I haven’t even tweeted in weeks. [...]

Last night I was super surprised to run in to this little guy; the Sony Xperia X10 Mini. It’s almost shockingly small compared to our usually cell phone fare like the iPhone and way smaller than all the new beasts coming out like the Dell Streak and Droid X. Side by side with an iphone [...]
