Full Disclaimer: I’ve had this review in mind for over a year now, however due to the fact that I bit my finger nails, I was unable to use this tool in the field without a secondary device to open the components! Now that I’ve shaken that filthy habit, onwards with the review! Leatherman, a known name in the multi tool business for over 27 years has a variety of models available all with their own specific usages. I chose the Wave to accompany me around the world on [read more]
I’ve set the site on autopilot for the past few days, having the website automatically fire out posts that I had already written. It’s been 3 days away from the Pacific Ocean so far and there is little missing so far. In fact, I haven’t thought once about it until now! I was feeling pretty wiped over my last few days in Haida Gwaii, weather testing my stamina and sanity – and considered doing the hostel thing in Prince Rupert. I found a reasonable rate for $25, but at the [read more]
Adding on to the prior post of what sort of hardware technology is being used to get through this trip, here’s a post of a little bit of insight of software used on my laptop. While each persons needs are different, most of these applications and utilities can come in handy for a wide range of users.Most of the software listed here is Open Source, meaning that the code utilized to write the product can be viewed by all, modified and enhanced should one desire. With that being said, it [read more]
It’s almost laughable with the blog name of Tired of I.T! that I’d be making a post like this – however a few readers have sent in queries as to what type of technology is being brought along. As much as I try to strip myself away from gadgets, toys, and devices, they are everywhere, and I like so many others have become reliant on them. In no specific order: Acer Aspire 1810TZ-4140 Notebook – Pentium SU4100 1.30 GHz – 11.60 – Sapphire Blue Centrino – 4 GB DDR2 SDRAM [read more]
27 days in, I wave goodbye to the big blue expanse of water known as the Pacific Ocean. I’m now done my coastal touring, and heading into the depths of the country, in search of adventure, fun, and knowledge. I’ve lived near an ocean for 60% of my life, but out of all this time, I’ve had the opportunity to gain an understanding at how life can be so different on islands as opposed to the mainland. An entirely different pace is at hand here – one that doesn’t suffer [read more]
The sign says – Welcome to Sunny Tlell, where there is hardly a sky in the cloud – how very fitting for my experience so far on the Islands of Haida Gwaii. This ecologically, and culturally important set of 400 islands has captured my heart, and continually managed to make sure that I swallow many bugs as my mouth stays wide open. I’ve only scratched the surface of this area known as the “Galapagos of Canada”, traveling from the ferry terminal at the Skidegate landing, and heading as far north [read more]
