My New Poison: Reyka Vodka

I’m not much of a Vodka man. Generic vodka requires sugary mixers to remove the medicine-like taste from it while most good vodkas are too harsh to sip neat and require a Bond-like martini and a tux to make you look like you’re not an alcoholic for drinking vodka straight. Little did I know that [...]

GoogleTV

Finally. A first step toward the answer to my gripes on the state of TV and the Web.

A Quick Thought on the iPad

A few months ago when the iPad was announced my initial thoughts were that it would be a great device for the majority of people who didn’t need a powerful computer to simply consume and share media. As well, I thought that if you had a notebook and an iPhone that you probably didn’t need [...]

With some patience, good local food and a yoga break, the afternoon came soon enough for our group to move on [...]

Peru Trip: Day 1-2

On Monday Liz and I departed Toronto for Peru for a two week tour. We’re travelling light, with no more than a backpack and a daypack each as we’ll be trekking through the Amazon, hiking to Machu Pichu (assisted by a train ride, since we’re not that adventurous) and visiting Cusco, Lake Titicaca and Puno [...]
