"Gadget" Greg Gazin Demystifies Tech & Life in a useful, fun & practical way!
When I first heard about the premise of the new movie for 80 for Brady, I immediately thought Golden Girls meets Bridesmaids or vice-versa neither of which would be on the top of my personal watch list. But add in a dose of award-winning A-list comediennes and celebs, mix in a story with a sports lens and a pinch of the G.O.A.T (Greatest of All-Time) NFL Superstar Tom Brady and a host of cameo appearances and now you’ve piqued my interest.

You won’t find this game in any App Store nor will you earn free 500 PC Optimum points anywhere else every day if you practise your hauling skills and play No Frills’ Hauler: Aisles of Glory.
This web-based game truly has no frills, and that’s the idea. In fact it has no fancy animations, high-definition video nor 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound. What you get is a 1980s 8-bit 2D arcade style single player side-scrolling game. But that’s the clever idea behind the grocery chain’s latest marketing campaign. It’s designed for haulers, which they describe “as someone who gets a lot, for less and totally takes pride in the experience.”
“Every major sport has a video game franchise, so why should hauling be any different?” says Uwe Stueckmann, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Loblaw Companies. “The best haulers aren’t born – they’re made. This game is designed to let them practice before they head to No Frills for an epic haul.”
Today, Klick launched Klickmas, the world’s first all-Christmas all-the-time ad agency with a fun seasonal video that shows employees ultimately reaching “festive fatigue.” It’s a tongue in cheek campaign celebrating the humour and independent spirit at the core of Klick.
Office video shows at-desk snow removal, elevator carolers, and magical Christmas cannon; While primarily an advertising campaign, the video also has a philanthropic aspect. Every video ‘like’ to support Mélanie’s Way charity and help grant Disney wish to young mom with cancer.
Click more for the full company release and to watch the video. It should give you a great chuckle on a cold winter’s day and help feed a worthy cause. [Read more…]
You just wonder if it was a really good idea. In just over two minutes you get to see over 30 animals and exotic insects take over the offices when all hell breaks loose over at Toronto-based, Klick Health in a twisted take on “Bring Your Pet to Work Day.”
“Our experience clearly contradicts studies that say bringing pets to work can reduce employee stress,” quipped Klick Health CEO Leerom Segal.
OK, he was only kidding. Segal says they put the video out as a way to give the world more reasons to smile during the holiday season.
Watch the video and see if you can figure out which animals are real. Then read on for the answers.
I always get a kick out of extreme anything – whether it is extreme sports, extreme makeovers or extreme ridiculousness. Of course being the gadget guy, when I came across Toshiba’s extreme attempt at this genre, I couldn’t wait to share it with you. Furthermore, I thought something light to follow the last day of tax season would release a little stress that some of us may have had.

iPad Maxi
The news of the iPhone 5 and the latest generation of iPods is not even cold and rumors of the iPad mini are already running amok. We’re seeing drawings, pictures and even inventory lists showing line items of iPad mini accessories and SKUs with a myriad of iPad mini configurations. The general consensus seems to be that it will have a 7.85-inch non-retina display, an A5 chip, although which version seems to be up for grabs and a launch date of October 23rd.
