It’s All Good!

Things have been wicked busy around the farm, with the family and at BCCHardware.com lately.  I’ve just written another review and this time I had a look at a nice little iPod Touch case from PowerSupport that promises to keep your Touch looking as classy as the day it was new.  It seems to be [...]

Best Router Ever?

I have just posted a review of possibly the best router ever and it’s from D-Link.  I know that back in the day some of their products were pretty flaky, but I’ve been using their DGL-4300 for years now and haven’t had any issues.  I just reviewed the updated DGL-4500 router and this one adds [...]

Twitter Contest Announced

The other day on Ustream.tv, I announced that I was going to launch a Twitter related contest for one lucky follower.  Here are the details.  Once I reach 100 Twitter followers, I will draw a name at random and that lucky person will receive a 1GB iPod Shuffle.  I know it’s not as big or [...]

It’s Over – DMC4

Alright.  I was a little hasty when I first handed down the verdict that Devil May Cry 4 was lame.  The fact still stands that requiring a person to buy a XBOX 360 controller (or something else with dual analog sticks and a POV pad) to play a computer game is a little lame. . [...]

12Seconds.TV

There are getting to be a tonne of social networking apps for mobile users.  Many of these center around Twitter, Pownce, FriendFeed or Facebook and most of these are limited to text only.  Generally speaking if you want to add video it can be a pain, and not something many novice users are willing to [...]

Blogging with Apple

Just got my iPod touch and after a trip to the apps store I have now enabled blogging from the iPod. The keyboard is not very condusive for fast typing but thanks to the somewhat decent ‘predictive’ cognition. This is taking way too long so I’m out.

Faves Added – Still Under Construction

BenHeide.com is slowly coming together.  I’ve added some of my “Faves” that you can check out on the self-titled page.  There is always fresh news there from other sites. Things have been busy over at BCCHardware since I got back from Seattle as well.  We’ve posted up a couple of new reviews this weak and [...]

DMC4 Update + Best Game Evar!

I did it. I broke down and picked up a XBOX controller for my computer. The beautiful thing is that used wireless controllers are dirt cheap and a wireless PC -> XBOX360 Adapter isn’t that expensive. The result is pretty good and the wireless connection so far is flawless. It still sucks that a person [...]

Devil May Cry for PC = LaMe

This is what I get for shopping without researching first.  When I was down in Seattle recently, I was bored and thought that a new game might be fun to play when I got back home.  I picked up the C&C First Decade pack to have something to play on my Thinkpad, but I thought [...]

Audiophile Computer Speakers

First day back from holidays and I’ve got a new review up at BCCHardware here.  These are “Audiophile” speakers for your computer and they do indeed sound very good.  In fact, I’ve honestly never heard a speaker so crisp, clean and clear in my life.  They are good, but at $517CAD for basic finish (including [...]
