Two of us here at WebsiteForensics spent 32 days on a road-trip down to the East Coast of Canada. It was bliss: the people, the places, the food. This is Canada’s best kept secret.

Unfortunately, on our way through Montreal, we thought it would be a great idea to stop by the Atwater Marché for some produce. That’s when it happened: a smash and grab. In just a few minutes, our laptop, cameras, backpacks were stolen. All our pictures had been downloaded to the computer, so there we were with bags of apples and carrots but no pictures from our trip save the 200 or so still on the camera they didn’t manage to steal. What a nightmare.

How much money do you spend every year on brand name ink cartridges? Now calculate how many printers you could have bought with what you spent on cartridges. Ludicrous isn’t it?

What if you could get these same cartridges for cheaper, yet retain the quality of your output? This is where sites like InkCartridges.org come into play: quality, brand name at discount prices.

Every single brand name cartridge is available from a very easy interface. We found all of our usual cartridges in under 30 seconds, how about you?

We finally got our hands on a couple of WiFi iPads and have been giving them to some of the toughest users possible: our friends. We gave the iPad, without explanation to one friend of ours who had never played with an iPhone or iPod Touch. Within minutes, our friend had figured out how to setup email, surf the web, create new windows, copy/paste, download applications … Now we can’t get it back.

When the iPad is not between sofa cushions, it is our friend’s favorite tool in the media room. Who needs a laptop when you just want to lookup IMDB or Youtube? The obvious complaints are about no Flash and not being able to print. I/O issues were never really part of the conversation as the Internet and the Network provide ample exchange solutions. Blake, who also got his hands on an iPad confided in us… it’s now his favorite bathroom magazine. Ick! He can keep his.

We’re going to pick up some Velcro this weekend and we’re seriously considering a 3G version of the iPad for a wicked road trip we’re planning this summer.

For years, we’ve listed and sold stuff on eBay (not an affiliate links for sure …). Ever since the mid to late 90s in fact. We stopped selling for a while, and almost forgot about the service until we realized we had quite a bit of good quality equipment we wanted to offload. We went back to eBay … We were shocked. Things have drastically changed and not for the better, why this is we decided to investigate.

Some members of the staff here at WebSiteForensics have used dating sites to break away from their usual circle of friends. While this can be a very private matter for some, we know the web offers some great opportunities for those of us with busy schedules or new recruits who just moved into town!

Take Rory for instance – not his real name of course! – who just arrived here from Halifax last fall. He’s been working very hard developing website for us but also wanted to meet someone special he could spend his leisure time with. After wasting a lot of time with the usual venues, he tried a dating site with hopes of finding someone.
