I’m happy to be taking a break from the rat-race/madness that is my life here in sunny Southern Alberta and heading down to see the in-laws. Unlike most people (at least stereotyped people), I get along quite well with my in-laws and will enjoy getting away. We do have at least one day planned for [...]
It has been an absolutely crazy month around here, but I was able to head out west into Kananaskis Country with the family and took a half-day hike around the Sheep River Falls area. This was an exceptionally good time as my boys are old enough to enjoy the outdoors and put in some good [...]
Things have been going very well at BCCHardware (my alter ego site), and this year we’ve seen growth that has impressed and amazed us. Not only have we reached the magic “Six Million” hits a month, we have signed up a few new advertisers and sponsors. It’s pretty darn incredible that it all started out [...]
My life takes a turn in the Youth direction this weekend as I packed up a few kids and we head up north to Edmonton, Alberta to check out YC Alberta 2009. This is a Christian Youth Conference that features a lot of bands, some great speakers, a lot of fun activities and not a [...]
I live in a single world but have a split personality. I love technology, computers and such, but my life is also out playing in the dirt. I guess I never grew out of that stage as a boy. Spring is here in Alberta and it’s time to get in the field and plant some [...]
With spring here in Alberta comes a lot of outside activity and no more playing video games – especially for the kids. We have a lot of fun in the downtime going to the little stream that flows past our place and having fun throwing rocks in the water. I don’t care what generation you [...]
If you’ve got a nice camera – or any camera for that matter, you may wonder how many times you can pull out the card and plug it into your computer without wearing things out. Quite a while ago I picked up an Eye-Fi card to accompany me on a trip. This card doesn’t have [...]
I’m certainly no photographer, but I’ve had a bit of fun recently trying to pull off some HDR (High Dynamic Range) photos. For those of you not familiar with this, the process is really quite simple in principle. You take 3+ photos of the same subject at different exposure levels and then combine the images [...]
CES 2009 has come and gone and we were there to cover the event. There were a lot of products and companies represented and BCCHardware tried to cover a wide array of products in order to appeal to many different readers. We managed to cover everything from BFG’s new Phobos system to mobile stuff from [...]
The New Year has arrived and I find myself somehow glad that 2008 is over. It was a good year, but 2009 brings with it the 4th Anniversary of BCCHardware.com. We have also just published our 400th review and there is a bit of a giveaway going on if you’re interested in getting free stuff. [...]
