CP24 Homepage: Tools for Buying a House

Wed, 29 Aug 2007 14:00:00 GMT

With many thanks to our favourite Citytv Personality Amber, I'll be once again appearing on CP24's Homepage today at 5pm (and rebroadcast at 11:35pm) to talk about tools which make it easier to buy a home in Toronto's super competitive housing market. Look out for mentions of Housing123.com, mls.ca, and a number of awesome Google mashups include Ian Steven's TTC Map and Beer Hunter.

Radiant TV: CityTV News

Fri, 04 May 2007 15:15:00 GMT

I had the great pleasure yesterday afternoon of being interviewed by Amber MacArthur, our favourite CityTV personality and the owner of a truly radiant smile (despite her best efforts to build a rep for being tough). We stood in the sun and chatted about the announcement of this year's Webby Award winners. It aired on CityTV News yesterday at 6pm EDT, the national news at 11pm EDT, and again next Thursday's Webnation. You can also check it out on the CityTV website: World Wide Web - May 4, 2007.

BarCamp: Best Do-It-Yourself Conference

Fri, 27 Oct 2006 01:54:00 GMT

BarCamp (and therefore the whole TorCamp community) has very unexpectedly been given an award by NOW Magazine as the Best Do-It-Yourself Conference in their annual Best of Toronto issue! See the full list of Tech awards on the NOW website. Respect is also due to the talented (and lovely!) Amber MacArthur, who won Best Geek Personality, to the featurless slab of concrete at the corner of Yonge and Dundas which won best Wi-Fi hotspot (though really to our friends Patrick and Gabe at Wireless Toronto who hooked it up), Crazy Biker Chick for taking the Best Personal Blog, and Blog-To for the Best Blog (and for which my lovely and talented better half writes).

Does this mean we get a plaque to hang in the fictional BarCamp offices?

Inside the Net

Tue, 17 Oct 2006 17:12:00 GMT

Inside the Net 38 has gone live in the iTunes directory and is, in our humble opinion, their best edition yet! That may be because it's a thirty minute interview with us, but I'm just saying. You can find it in iTunes, and on the TWiT (This Week in Tech) website: Inside the Net 38: Mozilla 2.0.

Called for Help: Inside the Net with RC

Fri, 06 Oct 2006 16:04:00 GMT

We had a great time visiting the set of G4techTV's popular Call for Help where we had the honour of being the guests for their Firefox 2 show. We also had the great fortune to be on an episode co-hosted by the lovely and talented Cali Lewis (of GeekBrief.tv), who is standing in until a permanent co-host is found.

I did the first guest segment, chatting with host Leo Laporte about the work we did with Mozilla and showing off some of the new features, including the new theme, search bar, and tab strip. Michael did the second segment, also chatting with Leo about the amazing world of Firefox Add-Ons and doing a quick demo of Forecastfox and of the great search engine detection in the new release. The episode should air sometime in late October/early November, right around the time that Fx2 gets released. Stay tuned for more info.

We had so much fun that Leo invited us to join him and our favourite new CityTV personality (and host of Command-N, one of our favourite podcasts, and former Call For Help co-host), Amber MacArthur, for a taping of the incredibly popular Inside the Net. The episode should air in the next few weeks and we'll make sure to update you via the blog, so stay tuned.
