Chris Brooker Rocking it so you don't have to

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 [...]

Last night was the Gladstone Hotel’s first tweet up and it was a really good one. I do have to give credit where credit is due and thank Jeremy at the Gladstone for hosting the event (@TweetgasmTO) and the awesome crew that put it together Casie Stewart (@cassiestewart), Michael Nus (@MichaelNus), Mark Pavlidis (@mhp), and [...]

I’ve been thinking a lot about Artificial Intelligence (AI) lately. Not really if it’s feasible (it soon will be) or how precisely it could be accomplished but more about the ethics involved.

Looks like I had a productive long weekend editing video A few weeks ago I receive an email from the lovely Chantelle at High Road Communications asking if I would be apart of a Windows 7 community dinner event. I was honoured to be invited and accepted. I wasn’t really sure what to expect when [...]

Hey all! Yes, that’s right. After a long time of reading, venting, and ranting about tech, I now get to write. Write not just for myself, like I do here, as I’m the only one that reads my posts, but write for a real magazine. Check it out; http://www.deadsexymag.com/Toronto/2009/August/Gadget/Artisan_800.html Dead Sexy Mag is a new, [...]

Hey everyone! I was looking through all the video I had shot, mostly because my card had run out of space and I needed to delete somethings, and I ran into these wonderful videos I forgot about from the last #TechKaraokeTO at Tequila Sunrise. It was the second one that we’ve officially had in Toronto [...]
