I just happened to get out of work late today and while walking to the station, I thought I heard some music playing in the distance from my corner of York St. and King St. in Toronto. Hmmm? Music this loud in this part of town? Something’s up!

As I mentioned in my last follies post, the Fujifilm Pro-400H was my 2nd to last expired film (read post here). Well, this is the last of my expired film: Kodak’s 400 Tri-X professional black and white film. This is also probably the least aged of my old film, only having expired around late 2013. This film also gave me a (more…)

We all know nothing is bulletproof. Somewhere, someone will always want to break in and steal your stuff. Especially now, we carry around basically a digital ID card, our (smart)phones. We store anything and everything on it. We can think we’re safe, but, sadly, we’re just really fooling ourselves.
This dude found this bug found in pretty much all version of Android, and it can be triggered via SMS. Nexus users will most probably get the patch the soonest. Lollipop users are also the safest, but not 100% safe.
A patch will be great if it can be sent out swiftly, but with different brands, skins, carriers, it’s tough. This is where, and I hate to admit it, Apple has a leg up on Google. Anyway, don’t read any unknown text messages with video attachments. Even if it’s from someone you know.

Galaxy S6 Booting Up
So it’s been a little over a month with my (then new) Samsung Galaxy S6 from Rogers. Since my purchase of this white, 64 GB model, I have gotten a simple Griffin bumper cover for it. The “honeymoon” is over and I’m taking some time here to share my thoughts on the device, so far.
Where’s the sky? Everything else seems to be exposed properly…
Last week I was testing out a really old digital camera… (more…)
It’s probably the crappiest pina colada, but dagnabbit, it’s my pina colada. Happy Pina Colada Day! Seen here paired with some fish tacos.
