BestBuy.ca: Preorder Halo Reach for $49.99
Written By Ken | No Comments
If you have any gamer friends, then expect them to disappear on September 14, 2010 when Halo: Reach, the highly anticipated 4th instalment of the Halo franchise, is released.
I got a chance to play and advanced copy of this game and it is simply amazing. The multiplayer co-op mode is tons of fun. The controls are a bit different in Reach, but you can always go back to ‘Recon’ mode which is the familiar Halo 3 controls we all love.
BestBuy.ca is offering $10 off the preorder of Halo: Reach making it $49.99 + tax. Shipping from BestBuy.ca is FREE for this item.

Third ‘Giveaway Weekend’ Scheduled For Winnipeg
Written By Ken | No Comments
Last September and May earlier this year, Winnipegers all over participated in the first ever Giveaway Weekend. They were such a success that the City wants to do it again on September 11 and 12, 2010.
How It Works:
On September 11th and 12th, Winnipegers are encouraged to put their unwanted stuff on the curb for others to pick up.
The goal is to encourage recycling and prevent useful junk from going into the trash. This is the third edition of the ‘Giveaway Weekend’ and hopefully more to come.
What are you going to be putting out next weekend?

Early Morning Traffic Returns
Written By Ken | 1 Comment
If you’re on the road between 7am and 9am then you’ve probably noticed that traffic has increased this week and getting to where you need to be is taking a lot longer.
This is becuase school is back in session at Red River College and University campuses in Winnipeg. Though the traffic seems bad already, this week is probably just a taste of whats to come. The first few days of school usually sees a small attendance, so expect traffic to be even worse as the school season picks up.
Make sure to adjust your alarms to avoid any delays. Most importantly, drive safe! I know that traffic jams can be frustrating times… but if you give yourself enough time in the morning, all frustrations can be avoided.

Apple Fall 2010 Product Line Overview
Written By Ken | 2 Comments
Apple dropped the jaws of people around the world again today with another amazing product line.
I’m most excited about the new iPod touches with facetime… It’s going to be awesome to facetime with people without an iPhone!
iOS 4.1 and iOS 4.2
Steve Jobs revealed that iOS 4.1 will be available for the iPhone and iPod next week, and iOS 4.2 for iPad will be available in November. This is great news for iPad owners such as myself. Finally the iPad will catch with all the awesome multitasking/folders features that the iPhone iOS4 has.
iOS 4.1 brings Gamecenter (Apples version of XBOX Live) as well as HDR Photography. You’ll also now be able to upload HD video to YouTube over WiFi.
iPod Shuffle
The iPod Shuffle now has buttons again. It is the same size as the last gen shuffle, but now with the familiar buttons. The price is also amazing. A 2GB shuffle will run you $59!
iPod Nano
The iPod Nano looks awesome!! It runs a mini version of iOS with a touch screen and does almost everything an iPod Touch does! Think of it as a mini version of an iPod touch.
It has voice controls as well as a built-in FM radio. It also sports the same clip on the back so you can still wear it wherever you go.
The regular colours are available. 8GB $159. 16GB $189.
iPod Touch
The iPod Touch has now been updated to have everything an iPhone 4 has except the phone. It will have the same HD Retina Display as well as a front facing and back camera.
The camera can be used to do facetime calls over wifi. Facetime calls on an iPod Touch are triggered via email address.
8GB $249. 32GB $319. 64GB $429.
Apple TV
It doesn’t look like Apple was able to license the name iTV so they will stick to the Apple TV name. Apple TV got a big refresh today. It now has an all black matte finish and its 4 times smaller than the original Apple TV. It is comparable to a hockey puck. The new Apple TV will be 100% HD and have TV rentals for only $.99. It will have internal storage and can also play video/photos/audio over wifi. Apple also slashed the price making it only $119.
