Here is some cool technology.
I’ve been looking for a way to put some of my many, excessive photos into a simple to use, Flash-based light box, so that I don’t have scroll down for posts with tons of pics.
The problem with a lot of the options out there right now is that they require more […]

A Dell 22″ LCD Monitor Upgrades the Workstation
After almost a year of working on my 13″ Dell XPS Laptop monitor - I finally bit the bullet and upgraded to a larger monitor. Because I spend SO much time on the computer, I felt the time had come.
Not only that, but Dell.ca had a good sale running, which included the shipping. After reading […]
Volkswagen Jetta Review
Awesome Value. Period.
This car looks good, feels good and is a long way from the old Jetta you remember from University. A friend of mine just bought this car and brought it over for a quick detail. I was so pleased with the lines. With his permission I snapped a few pics […]
How to Make Videos Viral with TubeMogul
I can’t take credit for learning about this service. Credit goes to my friend David at Dewpoint Productions for telling me about it.
For publishers of content, we know how important video is becoming, so we need to pay close attention to every opportunity to get exponential with our content.
Anyway, if you want the best […]
The Most Important Software I Use is Roboform
Do you write your passwords down on paper? Do you worry that you might lose them? I used to.
Here’s a software tool that I’ve used for years and don’t think that I could live without. If you spend even one tenth the amount of time I do online, I’m guessing you can’t […]
Ritz Carlton Laguna Beach Hotel Review
The destination of choice on a recent winter vacation was Laguna Beach, just south of Los Angeles.
Being huge fans of the arts, we’d heard that Laguna Beach was a great place to visit for just that. The hotel of choice was the Ritz Carlton Laguna Beach.
Actually - I think it’s called the Laguna Niguel. […]
Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 Gold Label Cigar Review
The first thing that I thought of when I light this cigar up was fresh cut grass. Thick, green, Kentucky Bluegrass… kind of what the lawn trimmings from the White House would smell like if you burned them.
Immediately you won’t notice much aroma with this cigar. On the nose, the wrapper and tobacco […]
Santa Rosa Torpedo Cigar Review
Here is a great cigar for the money. This one is a sleeper in my opinion.
It’s got no bad habits, it’s not physically big which is nice if you’re looking for a shorter smoke and it’s smooth…very smooth. I would describe it as aromatic, mild and creamy.
I would definitely buy another one.
Here you’ve […]
2005 Seven Sinners Napa Valley Syrah Wine Review
Ok - I bought this wine for four reasons, without doing any research. First, I love Syrahs. (Shiraz is another description for the same grape). Yes, there’s nothing like a good Syrah. Find one and try it so that you know what I mean. My thinking here was that even […]

This product worked well enough for me to write a post about it. Our barbeque sits outdoors all year and although we use it throughout the winter, by the time spring comes around, it’s usually looking a little rough. Being the detail fanatic that I am, if there’s something I can clean up […]

Well, after lots of research online, talking to a few users and some personal experience. I have decided to purchase the Ultimate Detailing Machine for polishing.
Because car detailing is a hobby, I really wanted to take my game to the next level. Warning: before you read this (or any other post I may […]
Zazubean Hottie Chocolate Review
I love spicy foods and I love dark chocolate - so I’m therefore a perfect demographic for Vancouver, B.C. based Zazubean’s Hottie chocolate bar.
This product is certified organic and is fair trade certified - so you’ll feel good buying this product because as it says on the side of the bar “it’s good for the […]
2005 Dona Paula Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Review
A rockstar. Definitely not a coiffer. This wine costs about $20 in Canada and I think it drinks like a wine much more expensive. Bring this one out when you want something rich and tasty. It’s not a really “big” wine, but it’s got all the right moves. One the nose you […]

This cigar pushes the envelope for the purists I’m sure - but for me, it was worth a try. Here in Kelowna, we are lucky to have a great cigar shop in Minit Market. You can find them with Google Maps if you click here. If you come to visit this incredible […]
