New Vlog! Cottage Life!
Hi all! Hope you’re having an amazing summer. The family went up to the cottage for the first time this season, so I thought I’d share a quick tour of the place. Enjoy!

This is why non-gamers think gamers are terrible people.
I hit a link directing me to a new GTAV gameplay trailer earlier tonight and ended up on this imgur thread. Read the first few items on it. This is why Jack Thompsons and the like exist. When you see those kinds of comments — which are not infrequent in the gaming community, and anyone who says otherwise is either willfully ignorant or just happily so — it’s easy to understand why America would be so eager to tramp all over the First Amendment to restrict access to these kinds of games.…

Moments on the Bus
One of the things I love being reminded of is that families all look different. God knows mine does. Ottawans, I know that there’s plenty to gripe about when it comes to OC Transpo. But there’s a lot of beauty that happens on the bus. Try not to miss it while you’re tweeting your commute away. Paddle your own canoe, folks. Trevor
Just Another Walk With Leo
Leo is AMAZING. He’s smart and fuzzy and a perfect addition to our little family. He’s also a huge goof. And guess what? THERE ARE GOING TO BE MORE OF HIM. He’s a Canadian Doodle Puppies stud-to-be. And I have to say, Linda’s labradoodles are spectacular dogs. I’m a little biased, but I haven’t met a single one of her dogs I haven’t immediately really liked. If you’re thinking about getting a dog, and are anywhere near Ottawa, go check out her site, or like her Facebook page. Even if you’re…

How Could Microsoft Have Set Expectations Better for the Xbox One?
I work with a lot of students. And they love video games. Most of them are Xbox owners, or play Xbox at friends’ houses. Not one is excited for the Xbox One. It’s taken some digging to figure out why. They’re pretty savvy. They’ve either watched the reveal or talked with friends who have, and they’re pissed that there wasn’t much time devoted to games. I have an explanation for that — they wanted to get the platform and TV and services stuff out of the way so that they…

Jealousy: My Life With Phones
Horrible. Crippling. Jealousy. I had to hit the internet to figure out how long I’ve been deep in the “hate” part of a love/hate relationship with my phone. September! It’s been since September. Pretty much the moment the first round of Windows Phone 8 devices were announced and I knew my phone wasn’t long for this world. Then my students started showing up with new phones. Galaxy S3. iPhone 5. A Lumia 920. An HTC 8X. Generous damn parents those kids have. *** I was a late adopter for cellphones…
