Welcome to “Monkeys With Car Keys”>
This is the first of many many many videos which we are producing and will be posting online in the coming weeks and months. The official website itself isn’t ready yet, but will be soon. A preponderance of funny shit with people and puppets will proliferate even as […]

It’s official.
I am now accessing the net through my new TekSavvy DSL connection and it is superbly fast, delightfully cheap and comes with no limits on my bandwidth usage. I highly recommend them.
I’ve been with Rogers for years and was constantly bitching and complaining about their inconsistent speeds, arbitrary capping of bandwidth, throttling of […]

When I saw this photo the hair on the back of my neck went up.
Click on it for a closer view - it’s just stunning.

The image was taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
There are obvious comparisons to the famed Earth Rise photos made by […]

Gizmodo has a post about an upcoming release of a Slingbox app for the iPhone and the iPod Touch.
Go the Gizmodo post to watch a video of it in action - it’s pretty fucking cool.

Today is starting off wonderful and will, no doubt, end up the same way. There will be grey in the middle of it. I’ve endured a lot of grey lately and I’m tired of it […]

Charlie Angus, the NDP member of parliament who is really good at poking Jim “Chickenshit” Prentice in the eye over the pending DMCA copyright bill and Bell Canada’s throttling of traffic, has introduced a private members bill seeking to ensure Net Neutrality as a right for Canadian citizens.

You can find all the details in posts […]

Found this over on Gizmodo and thought it to be trés cool. It’s two German students at a centre for studies in artificial intelligence who have hacked the Wii balance board so they can literally surf through Google Earth and Second Life.
Just as Johnny Lee hacks the Wii to create cutting edge tech that […]

The current U.S. Presidential campaign is so ludicrously surreal as to make Vonnegut and H. S. Thompson seem as hard-core realists. I remember fondly this bald dumpy old fella with the personality of a sack of fertilizer who led a nation through military victory and subsequent cultural recovery. His parting words, alas, were […]
