OS X Screen Lock Keyboard Shortcuts with Non-Apple Keyboard

For 3 years now, I have been using a base mid-2013 Haswell-powered Macbook Air as my primary machine. At the time, I was just entering university, and I sold my all-custom, high-dollar gaming rig to keep myself away from gaming, and in the hopes

Mid-2013 Apple Macbook Air: A More Likely Match Than You'd Think

I have recently made the switch to a Mac, and really wanted to share my experience. Turns out it took the form of a review, where I focus on matching the product to the customer, something which I had applied many times as a

The Retina MacBook Pro: Apple's Latest Display of Corporate Hubris

Apple's talk at WWDC last Monday was a very expected event, without a doubt. As it turns out, the iPhone 5 wasn't announced, and besides iOS 6, I felt like it was mostly the new Retina display-equipped Macbook Pro that stole the show. After

This Week’s iPhone Pics (33/52)

Moar like last month's iPhone pics amirite? Anyways, this week's combo is Jimmy on Blanko. Last bit of Montreal before takeoff: smoked meat in a bagel. It's doesn't get more local than this. Best airport food I've had so far. Something more exotic: Jamaican

This Week’s iPhone Pics (33/52)

This week's combo, Kaimal Mark 2 on BlacKeys Ultrachrome. Typo or cool new way to spell computer? Shouts to Manmade clothing, a little indy brand from New York who screenprints in-house. Ordered two shirts from them the other day, top shelf stuff. I can't

This Week’s iPhone Pics (32/52)

First is Salvador on Alfred Infrared, others are Roboto Glitter on Alfred Infrared. The now traditional Monday omelette. 5-6 eggs, an assortment of meats (usually ham and bacon), red onions, metric tons of cheese, and whatever else happens to be in the fridge at

This Week’s iPhone Pics (31/52)

Chunky on BlacKeys B+W. Special edition collabo shirt from Defgrip, Animal and rider Edwin Delarosa. Shirt is sick and I'm currently working on getting some laminates done to compliment my Mike Brennan poster. It's this dude's birthday. Two big tens, a few gulps

This Week’s iPhone Pics (30/52)

This week's combo, Bettie XL on Ina's 1969. Late, as usual. The new hotness over here: taping your cans on on top of the other when you're finished with them and strutting around drunk as hell with your Pabst Cane of Wisedom. LATFH. Yeah,

This Week’s iPhone Pics (29/52)

This week's combo, Jimmy on Claunch 72 Monochrome. Improvised workbench. I've been fixing 'puters this week, and not just at work. Currently working on a transparent proxy running off pfSense, I'll post the results if it ever goes live. Flash-storm = mega car-cake. The other

This Week’s iPhone Pics (28/52)

Back on the regular schedule. This week's combo: Helga Viking on Float. Ahhh, children have the cutest way of spelling... wait... Yeah, it figures that if you think Hoegaarden is top-shelf beer you probably can't spell too good. Rare spotting: a bone-stock second generation

TuneUp: Not So Automagic

I usually write on my resumes that I am a very organized person. My friends and relatives are quick to laugh if off and give me examples such as my car and room to disprove my affirmation, but ultimately, I really do think that

This Week’s iPhone Pics (27/52)

Two weeks later, I finally wake up and compile the iPhone pics I've been collecting over the holidays... I've had more than enough pictures to continue my weekly tradition, but the TWiP just slipped out of my mind. So, without further ado, this week's

This Week’s iPhone Pics (26/52)

This week's combo: the new Melodie lens on Dreamcanvas. The traditional Christmas phone call to all the relatives down south in Florida on my mother's side. This year, my grandma discovered speakerphone, so instead of hollering at the other person so they could speak

This Week’s iPhone Pics (25/52)

This week's TWiP had to be delayed due to trouble I had with my phone last week, right in the exam period. A jailbreak package, iRealQuickSMS, managed to somehow corrupt my 3GS' install of iOS4.1, which made me lose all of the GOLDEN

This Week’s iPhone Pics (24/52)

This week's combo, Helga Viking on Blanko. The crown jewel of Quebecois cuisine... poutine. This particular specimen is a bacon variant from the Snack Bar Normanville right next to school. Needless to say, it put an end to my hunger. If you've ever been

This Week’s iPhone Pics (22/52)

This week's combo is Roboto Glitter on Blackeys Ultrachrome. This week I grew tired of my hair, went back to the much-loved milspec cut. Much less hassle in the morning. Nightclubbin'. Still don't get why clubs still buy and use disco balls, these were

This Week’s iPhone Pics (21/52)

Once again, term paper week has taken it's toll on my internet swagga. The two last weeks were more about form and keeping the series going than actually posting something that's worth half it's weight in shit... but hey, with an overloaded schedule, things

This Week’s iPhone Pics (20/52)

This week's combo was supposed to be John S. on the brand new limited Edition "DreamCanvas" film, but it really, really looked like shit. Seriously, it was just horrible. So instead, enjoy John S on Float. Don't mind the fact that I'm

This Week’s iPhone Pics (19/52)

This week is Bettie XL on Blackeys Superchrome. It's been a slow week, I've been way to busy, for a change. Lexus is way underestimated in the car modding scene. Older models remind me of the same generation Mercedes-Benz, they would look awesome dropped

This Week’s iPhone Pics (18/52)

This week's combo, Jimmy on Pistil. Urban decay. In the midst of a parking crisis in the CEGEP area, I am welling to bet that a fair share of students would be willing to pay to park in the 50+ slot parking where I

This Week’s iPhone Pics (17/52)

This week's combo: Lucifer IV on Alfred Infrared. Work was insane this week. I've been grabbing my ass with both hands at work for the past week or two, and now shit is hitting the fan, the fan is spinning very quickly and the

This Week’s iPhone Pics (15/52)

This week's lens/film combo is Bettie XL with BlacKeys SuperGrain. This wasn't taken in LA, but here in my hometown, Trois-Rivieres. Not sure who's rich enough around here to get around in an Escalade the size of a bus. Place Laurier's food court.

This Week’s iPhone Pics (14/52)

A very full week, once again. I've grown tired of shuffling the settings on Hipstamatic, so here you go, everything this week was taken with the Helga Viking / Pistil combo. Batinsse qui mouille ca va neyer l'ble d'inde. Toujours est-il que ca l'a ete

This Week’s iPhone Pics (13/52)

Once again a very busy week. But that's not an excuse. The prize for fucked up computer repair of the week goes to the lady who brought in two desktops, including this very rare Dell XPS from the Pentium 4 Extreme era which sports

This Week’s iPhone Pics (12/52)

I'm late again. Surprise. The stupid thing about it was that the image was uploaded on Sunday... meh. Charlevoix. It's hilly. Don't think that Hipstamatic did the colors on this one. Class-mates all singing along. Youth hostels are awesome. Sizzurp, but legal. 1 day,
