The Key To Searching

Posted by Wyck on April 2nd, 2008

Don’t you wish you could find a song by humming a few bars? You can’t remember the lyrics, but the tune is stuck in your head. Or maybe it’s an instrumental and there are just no lyrics to search for. Well, there is a website where you can sing a few notes […]

New Tripod For My Birthday

Posted by Wyck on June 1st, 2007

It’s a wonderful day! I got a new tripod for my birthday! It’s a Manfrotto 351MVCF with 519 Fluid Head, plus a super cool carrying bag! Definitely worth all the exclamation marks!

I actually wanted to get a tripod last year for my birthday, but decided at the last minute to get the […]

La page web du jour

Posted by Wyck on March 1st, 2007

This is not going to have global appeal, but I find it pretty darn funny. And since I’ve been distracted by work this month, working late preparing for our big trade show in Las Vegas, I thought I’d share something my manager at work showed me to lighten the mood as we […]

Distractions Big and Small

Posted by Wyck on January 29th, 2007

It was a long wait, but it finally arrived. World of WarCraft: The Burning Crusade arrived right around the time I wrote my last blog.

Ok, where was I?

Posted by Wyck on December 16th, 2006

It’s been a while since I have been able to post. Was I distracted? Well, sort of. I disappeared to San Jose for a week. Rode on a couple of jets. Went a few places, among them: the corporate headquarters of nVidia and Adobe. I learned how to multiply 512 […]

Mike’s Karaoke Revolution Party

Posted by Wyck on November 25th, 2006

Friday was spent at Mike’s house, where a three-quarter-dozen of us played Karaoke Revolution Party till the wee hours of the morning. This is a cool game! Technically, the game measures the pitch of your voice and start and stop time. You can duff the lyrics, or even just hum along, as […]

Distracted by Line Rider

Posted by Wyck on November 18th, 2006

Today marks a new addition to Wyck.ca: the Distractions category. Lately there have been a few things that have been interfering with my ability to stay on target, and stay productive. In the event that I should miss a posting, my plan is to follow up with a posting in the Distractions category. […]
