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 [...]

It seems every time I write a blog post I start it with “It’s been a long time”, well not this time or ever again. (Cuz I just won’t say it). Last night I had the privilege of attending both the Toshiba Primer party and the YYZ Lifestyle Magazine party. Both were at the Ultra Supper [...]

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.

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. I feel very strongly that one day very soon a sentient being will be create and I fear our human nature will ultimately [...]

or a Big Day in Social Media! See what I did there? I used a sexy headline to get your attention and cause you to visit this page. I used your PR tricks against you! muah ha ha ha. But seriously, today is a big day for social media. Today is the second annual Twestival (3rd [...]

Yesterday, I woke up feelign totally shitty. Not shitty as in hung over, like the majority of people, but shitty as in sick. I wanted to call in sick to work but had just way much to do so I decided to compromise, I worked from home. Even though I was feeling shitty I still [...]
