- 15:20 To watch Podcasts like GeekBeat on your TV via PS3 ,just add the RSS video feed link (using your computer) to MyYahoo or Google Reader #
- 15:29 Looking forward, but expecting to be disappointed, with the Canadian launch of the PS3 video store on Thursday. #
- 15:35 Watching MacBreak with Leo Laporte ogling iPhone4 altavistagoogle.blogspot.com/2010/06/thisweekin-vs-twit.html #
- 15:54 I'm getting alot of hits today on my post about abolishing the monarchy. I wonder why. :) bit.ly/9AKdcQ #
- 18:21 That was weird. My Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus went missing. I reinstalled it, then had to update it 5 minutes later. Now OK. #

- 02:06 @andronemai Your welcome. I got the name slightly wrong though: (PS3 Media Server: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PS3_Media_Server ) #
- 02:16 @acedtect If I hadn't just watched 42 clips of American Loggers, your tweet/video would have caused me plenty of trouble-shooting. #

- 16:07 The Kindle is now only C$205, shipped. Tempting. I like the idea of being able to wireless buy books anywhere in the world. #
- 18:05 The C$549 iPad is sold out at most Future Shops. The anarchists must have bought them for the ride home. #
- 18:32 Watching Tech News Today at live.twit.tv/ because I'm bored and can't actually afford any new technology. #
- 19:51 According to MSNBC, Russian spies bury money in North America. Let the digging begin! bit.ly/b9PI48 #
- 23:49 @CaliLewis Your voice is more nasal than on GeakBrief. Please adjust base. #
- 00:01 You know your life is a tad empty when you keep hitting "check for firmware update" on your PlayStation. PS3 3.40 will be Picasa compatible #
- 00:04 Exactly at Noon Tokyo time, PS 3.40 firmware now available. I'm at 22%. #
- 00:11 @ambermac This discussion about bed time would be more interesting if there were pictures. #
- 00:13 New PS3 firmware installed, now waiting for Photo Gallery firmware installation. Good grief. #
- 00:16 Actually, Photo Gallery is a separate download! At 17%. Argh! #PS3 #
- 00:18 All this because the PS3 browser is Picasa web incompatible. This update better be good. twitpic.com/20vec5 #
- 00:31 After you update to PS3 3.40 , the Picasa web site will work again. #
- 01:33 I just uploaded a photo to my Picasa account using my PS3. Cool, although probably won't do it much. #PS3 #
- 03:24 The Picasa web site still sucks in the web browser of the 3.40 #PS3 ,but the Picasa integration with the Photo Gallery is amazing. #

- 14:47 Spectacular F1 crash. twitpic.com/20i017 #
- 14:56 @himpster Carrier hardware upgrade (still 1 year on contract). I hate the idea of a contract, but service no cheaper w/out. #
- 16:03 @00mb Would the bank tax apply to credit unions? #
- 00:16 Hey bud, you owe us a billion dollars. (Screen capture from the CBC's The National) twitpic.com/20m5x0 #

- 10:21 I was in Cologne during the 1999 G8. Saw Clinton at a bar. Heavy police, cop told me not to walk down a street, but not a single fence. #G20 #
- 10:26 @olivier_amar So in Israel the leaves fall in Summer, not Fall? I'm confused #
- 11:21 I hope the Saudi Arabia delegation at the #G20 is driven around Toronto by a women. Preferably, someone with PMS. :) #
- 11:22 At 3PM AT, USA will teach Ghana that the Developed World rules. Third World should stick to making our stuff. Games are for rich people. :) #
- 11:25 @carolyndunncbc Dam, I wonder what their Summers are like. #
- 11:53 I love how despite CIBC having TV commercials for their app, TD's is more popular. twitpic.com/205209 #
- 12:14 @MicRoh365 You do realise that the iPhone is incompatible with the WIND network. #
- 13:19 Watching the USA-Algeria game in HD on Rogers On Demand. Don't tell me how it ends :) #
- 13:24 @Joan_Rivers I've un-followed you because of this nonsense. #
13:36 Getting satisfaction as @Joan_Rivers loses her followers for spamming iPad scam (or for allowing her account to be hacked by spammer). # - 15:06 Unlike the USA, Ghana was never part of the same country as Canada (unless you don't accept 1867 as Canada's year of independence) #Worldcup #
- 15:14 ... However, many provinces, now part of Canada, were, at different times, part of the same country as Ghana and the USA. #Worldcup #
- 15:19 The commercials are way better on ABC. #Worldcup #
- 15:25 :) NHL Draft is trending in Canada. We have our priorities straight. #Worldcup #
- 15:33 Dear racists, FYI, the president of Ghana is not African-American but he is Black. #Worldcup #
- 15:37 Africans are all rooting for Ghana. Just like all North Americans are rooting for the USA. Now you know. :) #Worldcup #
- 15:38 There should be continental teams. That way we could teach those smug Antarcticans a lesson. #
- 17:28 The Future Shop down-town Toronto was attacked (CBC), if they hurt the iPads, shoot to kill! :) #G20 #
- 17:35 Since the #G20 protesters are mostly White, do we assume they are foreigners? #
- < em>17:37 #G20 protesters trash Toronto. Nobody can tell the difference. :) #
- 17:45 @4Lou At least one leader (the Russian President) is taken a highway as his helicopter was grounded because of fog. #
- 18:05 @neyne "Important" to promote soccer in the USA? Really? Think about it. :) #
- 18:09 @neyne Americans have their own sports. What's the point of converting baseball, basketball, football and wrestling fans? #
- 18:12 #G20 protesters protests against globalisation by not watching #Worldcup soccer. #
- 18:15 @draper1206 What about the Summer Olympics? That is only 2 years away. Besides. Americans play soccer, they just don't watch it much. #
- 18:20 @neyne US population: 307 million. Northern North Americans create the best cell phone and have the best sports. Sorry. :) #
- 18:24 Unless some #G20 protesters get killed, nobody really cares. Any volunteers? #
- 18:34 @neyne I don't know. Was being a jerk. Still, I really don't see the benefit of evangelising soccer to North Americans. #
- 18:48 @neyne Popular = More expensive. National Hockey League tickets used to be affordable before American expansion. #
- 21:00 #G20 riots: I guess Toronto bankers really don't want the global bank tax. #
- 21:05 Apparently, Toronto police drive Pintos "burning police car could blow at any moment" (CBC). Journalist science fail. #
- 21:59 Zombieland on TMN starts in 5. #
- 22:32 "Thank God for red-necks" (Zombieland on TMN) #
- 23:40 Sinc e China and Saudi Arabia are members of the G20, I'm not sure what the anarchists want. Are they for democracy or against it? #
- 00:12 Who knew the National Post was just a front for Canada's anarchy movement? natpo.st/d0QSI4 #
- 00:41 F1 fans, don't forget to set your DVR for Sunday: 9AM Moncton time. #
- 01:16 OK Moncton, what's with all the 1:15 am sirens? #
- 01:48 @WildRoseMPBlake Are you advocating gov gas price ctrls like in NB and NS? #
- 01:52 Just to be clea r, Canadians can't buy the EVO, the Droid X or the iPhone 4G!? Thank goodness for Blackberry. #
- 02:06 The purpose of the #G20 is to discuss ways to stay rich and to complain about the help. Not that there is anything wrong with that. #

- 11:40 When my 3 year old niece needs to be punished, my sister puts her in front of #worldcup soccer. #
- 11:55 @myfriendian Your tweet would be more relevant if you told us your location instead of "anywhere". #
Friday, June 25, 2010
- 22:33 I find it amusing that there is a real-estate kiosk at the Moncton airport. My Montreal relatives did not bite. #
- 22:42 @JJScheffler What do you call a shuttle? Renting a car would make the most sense if you don't want to take acadianbus.com #
- 22:48 Watching the most boring movie ever made (La captive du désert) on TFO (608 with Rogers) because it stars Sandrine Bonnaire. #
- 23:14 @JJScheffler If cost is an issue, I stand by my suggestions. One-way rental or taxi-Acadianbus-taxi is way cheaper than illegal vans. #
- 01:50 Where can I get a vuvuzela ringtone for my iPhone? #
Wednesday, June 23, 2010
- 13:39 @Zoompass Except in North America where cash, debit and credit still rule (because, unlike Zoompass, they are free to consumers). #
- 13:49 Not a single Atlantic Canada city on the new Monopoly Canada board. Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Yukon, NWT and Nunavut also left out. #
- 13:51 ... Our cities suck (except maybe Halifax), but at least we have the ocean. Take that Gatineau. #
- 13:53 According the computer simulations, New Brunswick won't be affected by the oil spill. Still, good to swim early and often, just in case... #
- 13:55 Also, you might want to bo ok your non-USA, non-Varadero winter vacation soon, as south Florida (and Cuba ?) is about to get all oiled-up. #
- 13:58 @ianmcc I'm on hour 20 of trying to upgrade my iPhone 3G. Good luck #
- 14:10 Map of G20 Security Area (joke) twitpic.com/1z1fa7 #
- 17:18 iPhone 3G to ios4 (if updt not wrkng) Step 1: synch your iPhone. Step 2: Click restore. Step 3: After phone reboots, "restore from backup" #
- 17:20 I was under the impression that restoring from a backup would leave me stuck with the former iOS, but nope, restores everything but OS. #
- 18:20 ... Ok, well now I have iOS 4 on my iPhone 3G but the restore to back-up method ate 80% of my apps! Re-download them for free, but a pain. #
- 22:04 My objective for updating to iOS4 was for folders so I could add more apps. But now that I've lost them all, I don't need folders! ... #
- 22:09 Re-installing my apps, I thank goodness for the Kindle and Kobo clouds. But I will have to replay many levels of Angry Bird. :( #ios #
- 22:15 With folders in #ios4 , people are less likely to find out about my new Miley Cyrus app. :) #
- 22:24 Consider me mystifi ed. After re-installing Angry Bird, it remembers what levels I've played. #
- 22:27 Ditto for Stanza. All my books are still there. Weird. #
- 22:30 The apps were all gone. But when I reinstall them, they remember all my data! Seriously weird. #
- 22:42 @Mathieu_LF In theory, I shouldn't have lost the apps in the first place. So perhaps they are only partially removed (w/ data on phone). #
- 22:59 If you squint, you can see Miley Cyrus under "Musique". :) #ios4 PS. Love bilingual check. twitpic.com/1z507p #

- 08:04 A reality show of hot lesbians. This could work: www.themovienetwork.ca/series/reallword/ #
- 08:24 @CTVCanadaAM Let me tell you about an invention called "quotes". Please use them. Thanks. #
- 08:32 @neyne :) #
- 08:37 After wasting all that money using my brains to bet on the #worldcup, I won $6 from a simple $1 lottery ticket. Insulting. #
- 08:37 I don't have money on this game. Hard to care when you don't. #
- 08:40 ...Both South Korea and Argentina are in the same hemisphere as Canada. So geography is no help. #
- 08:47 ...Thanks to the Darien Gap, I can't even drive to Argentina, so the fact that we are technically on the same continent is of no value. #
- 18:19 Kobo still do not have French content, but at least their iPhone app now does pictures. twitpic.com/1xmt19 #
- 18:26 Hey NY Times et al, if people cared about the score, they would have/will watch the game. #
- 20:14 At least 1% of Canadian members of Parliament already have an iPad. Inc redible. #

- 09:51 I'm exploring the E3 conferance via PlayStation Home. Pretty cool. I'd already pre-ordered GT 5 (out Nov 2). Nice trailer. :) #
- 15:37 PS3 streaming Leo Laporte updating his Mac OS on my 42 inch TV. Fabulous waste of technology. live.twit.tv/ #
- 15:51 OK, now watching recorded soccer on my TV while listening to live.twit.tv/ on my computer. Way better than the vuvuzelas. #
- 20:42 I don't understand analysts and journalists who say many iPhone 3GS customers are eligible for the $199 upgrade with AT&T . None are. #

- 07:20 @AranH Amanda's book will only be available tomorrow in Canada.You can then check Amazon.com 's Kindle section or Kobobooks (both good apps) #
- 07:24 @kobo Any chance Kobobooks will sell books in French soon? vitrine.entrepotnumerique.com/ #
- 07:26 @prophetsecular They need construction materials, not laptops! #
- 07:38 @prophetsecular Don't be like that. You know as well as I do that there were many homes damaged in the recent war. #
- 07:48 @prophetsecular End of the occupation + Right of return. Or, integration of the territories and democratic rights. = Many friends. #
- 08:10 @prophetsecular How many members of the Knesset does Gaze have? 0. That is not democracy. #
- 08:35 @prophetsecular In the entire world, what country considers Gaza an independent country? #
- 08:47 @prophetsecular "West Bk and Gaza Strip are Israeli-occupied with current status subject to the Israeli-Palestinian Agreeme nt" (CIA factbk) #
- 08:49 @prophetsecular Because they don't like Hamas. However, UK and many others want blockade lifted. #
- 09:09 @prophetsecular That's the way Israel should have left Gaza. Not unilaterally the way they did. #
- 09:12 @prophetsecular Until the West Bank and refugee issues are settled, people will feel justified in killing Israelis. I would. #
- 09:17 Every freaking #worldcup game on the CBC has an iPad commercial. #
- 09:21 There are 1,035,965 Canadians of Dutch descent. None of them can cook. :) #
- 09:27 Maybe there is a future to New Brunswick's paper industry. (Sun TV ad) www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk2brfbSG2g #
- 09:31 @kathleenogrady Funny, I read NYT and the Globe and Mail far more because of Twitter. #
- 09:34 @poitrasCBC When I first read that (on my iPhone), it did strike me the NYT article mentioned BlackBerrys instead of cell phones. #
- 09:40 @prophetsecular "West Bank & Gaza r ful under Palestinian control." ??? Tell that to the many thousands of Israelis living in the West Bk. #
- 09:48 @prophetsecular The Israelis killed Brits when it was a British "protectorate". It is the way human nature works. #
- 09:51 @prophetsecular What am I making up? #
- 09:57 I don't want to jinx it, but so far, using random.org was a good betting strategy. #worldcup . Go #ned go! #
- 10:00 @prophetsecular Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. As a Canadian, don't want to kill Israelis. But if I was living in Gaza, I could justify it. #
- 10:03 @prophetsecular If the United States effectively controlled Canada, I could see myself launching rockets into Maine. #
- 10:16 @prophetsecular I'm against state religions. In Iran, Saudi-Arabia, Israel or North Korea... #
- 10:21 @prophetsecular Countries that impose a religion (or cult of leader) on others generate enemies. They are unsustainable. #
- 10:25 @prophetsecular Islam, Judaism, Christianity and Atheism should have equal status in Israel. #
- 10:34 @prophetsecular 1. Right of return. 2. Leave all of West Bank OR give all residents Israeli citizenship (including Gazans). #
- 10:39 @prophetsecular Alright, I'll bite. What is your solution? #
- 10:45 Has "vuvuzelas" become a code word for "blacks" ? :) #
- 10:48 @prophetsecular What border would you give to the West Bank? #
- 11:01 @prophetsecular So you are proposing the status quo? With Israel the colonial masters of Gaza and the West Bank? #
- 11:03 You sure get the impression South Africans are not soccer fans when you look at all the empty seats. They should have given unsold tickets. #
- 11:10 I'm going to make $50 if this #worldcup game stays tied. #
- 11:14 @prophetsecular So what border do you propose? Saudi Arabia sucks, but a least we know where the border is. #
- 11:19 T he counter on my new blog is at 1. How long will stay there? :) altavistagoogle2.blogspot.com/ #
- 11:58 @prophetsecular I am in favour of Canada accepting immigrants that speak English or French, regardless of religion. #
- 12:00 @prophetsecular However, I do not support ethic cleansing, violent or otherwise. #
- 12:04 @prophetsecular People speak English in India and Singapore and French in Morocco and the Ivory Coast, so I'm covered against racism. :) #
- 12:08 @prophetsecular Although there are xenophobes in Hamas, their enemy is the State of Israel, not a Hitleresque hatred of Jews. #
- 12:14 @prophetsecular Prove it. Show me where is says Hamas proposes the expulsion of all Jews from Palestine. #
- 12:37 @prophetsecular The way I interpret that document, they are against a Jewish state, but once defeated, they aren't proposing murder. #
- 12:44 @prophetsecular The enemy being Israel. I don't deny there are crazy anti-Semites, but generally, all the movement wants is t o defeat Israel #
- 12:52 @prophetsecular Right, because Jews can't live in Morocco, the USA, Canada, France, UK, the West Bank, etc... #
- 12:58 @prophetsecular That's like saying Aboriginals should control Canada and Celts should control England. #
- 13:00 @prophetsecular Do you propose every religion should have a country? Because the vast majority don't. #
- 13:02 @prophetsecular Or are you like the Christian Evangelical movement that wants all Jews to move to Israel so North America can be "pure". #
- 13:06 Waiting for Obama to say "your doing one heck of a job" to some federal employee in the Gulf. #
- 13:21 @prophetsecular There are many Jews and Muslims here in Canada. I would consider the ones I've worked with as integrated. #
- 13:22 Watching Leo Laporte trying out Microsofts new Kinetic gizmo: live.twit.tv/ #
- 13:23 @prophetsecular Like I said before, countries with a state religion are not sustainable. #
- 13:37 Ha! In the spirit of copyright violation, a new way to get to my blog. j.mp/Kinect . Be sure to jump up and down when reading. #
- 14:13 Pretty impressive live coverage of the E3 door thanks to Leo Laporte live.twit.com #
- 15:12 Will the Xbox voice controls be multilingual? #E3 #
- 15:15 Look Mom, Hotmail, no hands! #E3 #
- 15:25 OK, kid playing with tiger is impressive. #E3 #
- 15:27 What, they have rain in South Africa! #Worldcup #
- 15:42 Twitter opinions on Microsoft Kinect are mixed, but generally negative. #E3 #
- 15:44 @PeteyPablo623 It in on Ustream.tv #
- 15:47 Rain at #Worldcup and rain here in Moncton. Depressing. #
- 16:00 Way to bribe the press Microsoft #E3 #
- 16:01 Um, so new xBox does less than the PS3, but for the same price. I don't get it. #
- 16:02 @rawmess1ah lo l, you haven't been reading the #E3 hashtag. #
- 16:16 I'm watching live.twit.tv and the #Worldcup . So according to Twitter trends, I'm all covered. #
- 23:42 @GordonHughes Funny you should tweet that. I did the trip today via Google Street View. #
- 23:46 @bworley Lol. Hopfully the judge likes kids. #
- 23:59 "In Saudi Arabia women aren't allowed to drive" will now be my answer to any complaints from women. #

- 03:44 @cyc1984 I don't think they are that good at marketing. Look at Apple TV and Mac computers. iPad is best/cheapest tablet out there. #
- 05:30 Forget skill, I'm now using random.org to decide on what and how much to bet. #ned to win first game and #jpn and #cmr to tie 2nd #worldcup #
- 05:35 This sitting will kill you study is freaking me out. Is lying is bed all day better? Because I can do that. ;) #unemployed #
- 06:25 @cyc1984 It is a big planet. Not even for sale yet in rich places like Scandinavia. Few expected the iPad to be this popular. #
- 06:53 @cyc1984 Even in "poor" places, some people have money for an iPad. It is a luxury item, no doubt, but way cheaper than a car or house. #

- 08:37 This #Worldcup may get expensive. I've already bet $29 on alc.ca . Go #esp and #bra for the cup. To win today: #rsa and #fra . #
- 09:51 South Africa sure has alot of black people. Hard to believe Apartheid lasted so long. #
- 10:42 Google Street View now in South Africa! #rsa Checkout in and around the stadiums: j.mp/Moncton #worldcup #
- 11:02 I have money on the black, er, South African team. :) #
- 11:09 Would it be crass to complain that the FIFA stations with player cams are not in HD? 391, 392, 393 on Rogers Digital Cable. #worldcup #
- 12:02 @Joan_Rivers LOL. #
- 06:37 You support #eng, you support oil spills. Just saying. 2:15PM NY time on ABC in the #usa . #worldcup #
