Well another day another Tech Tips. This one was actually able to launch while I was gone. I realize we’ve done a lot of coverage on these sub-notebooks, but honestly I think it’s a very relevant topic because the product category is so new and exciting to many people.

We’ve got a lot of exciting things coming up for Tech Tips and we’re making constant efforts to improve our release schedule. Thank you for your viewing and the feedback that has allowed Tech Tips to keep improving.

Well day one of Fragapalooza is coming to a close…. Well the night is just starting, but yeah. I’ve made an NCIX corner in the Intel booth and so far the event has been great. We’ve had lots of people come up to check out this system I did up for Corsair.

It arrived safely via UPS and so did all of my other gear. The one thing that didn’t show up was my NCIX banner… Fortunately I have lots of NCIX enviro bags, so there should be plenty of NCIX representation around the show.

The venue is huge. I can’t even capture it properly with my G7, but this LAN is unlike anything I’ve seen before in Vancouver.

Here’s on of the Corsair guys gaming it up (with coaching from one of the kind LAN-goers) with Crysis on this crazy quad SLI system.

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this. A Mac at a LAN party? It’s one of two that are here and the other is a notebook.

Here’s me with “FPS Doug” from Pure Pwnage. He was giving out signed posters. I got one that reads “Boom! Headshot!”. It’s awesome.

So my leather paintballing gloves were too hot. I ripped out the liners and then they left dye on my hands all the time (looked super disgusting). I had a brilliant idea:

Why don’t I wash them and get as much of the dye out as possible.

I don’t know why, but I decided to use hot (nearly boiling water) thinking that I could put the gloves on really fast and then they’d be super form-fitting.

Well they shrunk so fast I didn’t have a chance to do anything about it.Ugh.
