Well, the zune.net website is down right now. When it comes back up in the morning, it’s time for Zune 3.0!
Also, the new 120 GB Zune player is now listed in the Amazon.ca store at $10 off. If you click on the link, it takes you to a 404 page. I’m really excited about the [...]

I went out and picked a shiny new western digital my book hard drive today since it is on sale at Future Shop. We use the older version of this external drive at work and I really like it because it is really quiet and has an auto on-off feature to make sure you get [...]

I have created a small little graphic to summarize my textbook buying experience from UBC bookstores and the jerks at UW bookstore.

Enough said. Guess where I am buying my books next time? (Assuming that I buy them within Canada)
Note: The customer service portion is based on the process of returning a book… too lazy to [...]

So as some of you may know, I’ve been buying my books one way or another from Taiwan. But I sort of forgot about my econ textbooks on my shopping list this time, so I ended up having to look towards SFU and UBC bookstores for my textbook needs.

Rawr, today’s my last night in Taiwan. There’s still so many things that I want to get, but the credit card tends to disagree with me with the car insurance coming along the way. But I think my favourite place to go to for shopping in Taipei goes to 東區 and 信義區.

Its been a while since my last update and because Richard reminded me that I haven’t wrote anything in a while, I’ll write a bit about what I’ve been up to. Besides the endless traditions and non-traditions of my sister’s wedding (and the accompanying festivities), I’ve been trolling the streets/malls of Taoyuan (桃園) and Taipei [...]

One of my in-ear earbuds is missing the rubber piece and I couldn’t find it anywhere; thus, they are effectively useless. Now I am stuck with my clip-on headphones that I use at home or on long rides to listen to music. They are nice, but they don’t over power the crowd noise when I [...]

好冷ㄚ～
手套不知道跑哪去了

I picked up a 2GB Sandisk Cruzer Titanium from Future Shop yesterday for $25. I plugged it in to the laptop and set Vista to use the drive for ReadyBoost with 1830 mb allocated. Oh, fastness. But apparently they got the 4GB variety in stock now, so I might be heading back there for an [...]

Microsoft is now encouraging students to “steal” Microsoft Office. Well, starting this Wednesday, Microsoft will be offering their high end Office Ultimate to post-secondary students at a low low price of $60. This is actually a really good deal, because the best deal for Waterloo students still stands at $99 for Office 2007 Professional.
Remember, [...]
