Is It Windows 7 or KDE 4?
People are bowled over by Linux with the new KDE 4 desktop, believing that they’re looking at Windows 7. (I’ve been using Linux with a KDE desktop since early 2005).

We’re Up to Something
At ToddiPhone, scheming is Job 1. Deep inside our super-secret laboratory hundreds of kilometres beneath the Earth’s crust, our mad geniuses are hard at work hatching diabolical plans to revolutionize the telecommunications industry. For example, they’ve created the satellite to end all satellites. Literally. They’ve spun thousands of feet of fibre optic cable into a behemoth that makes the [...]
What Does Your Phone Say About You?
Plenty. After all, it’s more than a communications device, it’s a reflection of you. And what if your phone is a ToddiPhone? You’re cheap. You have low standards. You’ll go anywhere, with anyone, anytime. You’re here for a good time, not a long time. You’re disposable. Your integrity is suspect. You’re internally flawed. You hide [...]
Disposable Phones for Your Disposable Relationships
Remember your friend’s wedding? Of course you don’t. You drank so much that the bartender started pre-mixing your cocktail as soon as he spied your lumbering carcass weaving vaguely forward on its umpteenth trip back to Plasterville. That night may be a haze, but you’ve never forgotten the consequences: that person that you slept with — the [...]
The Perfect Gift!
You know that person in your life that you kind of know, or know well but dislike, perhaps even hate? Eventually they’ll get married or have a birthday or something and you’ll be obligated to give them a gift. Make sure that gift gives the right message: “I had to get you something. Here it is. [...]
Life is short.
Life is short. Your phone bill should be too. We can help with both. At ToddiPhone we don’t believe in excess: overcharges, function and features, customer service, technical support, satisfaction surveys, quality control, environmental protection, product testing, safety assessment… good God the list goes on and on. Frankly, it makes our life and yours needlessly complicated, not [...]
My Tweets for Today – July 5, 2010
Some days, like today, my tweets all run along a similar theme. Today: tunes. Nice to hear that Mr. Gwen Stefani has a new single out. I guess life can be boring when you’re arm candy for a major pop star. I still miss Ronnie James Dio, the 20th/21st century’s foremost lyrical humourist. Also a [...]
Happy Interdependence Day!
Yes, it was back in this day in 1776 when a bunch of profoundly inebriated politicians declared: “Yesh indeed. Lesh make theesh conolies, uhhhhh, colonies, into a county! Unggghhh. Country. Shorrry. Whersch my drink?” It’s a cause for celebration! And perhaps a beer. And what goes better with beer, burgers, freedom fries, a beer, pizza, fried chicken, [...]
Happy Canuckistan Day!
Yes, it was back in this day in 1867 when a bunch of profoundly inebriated politicians declared: “Yesh indeed. Lesh make theesh conolies, uhhhhh, colonies, into a county! Unggghhh. Country. Shorrry. Whersch my drink?” It’s a cause for celebration! And perhaps a beer. And what goes better with beer, moose sausage, perogies, a beer, smoked meat sandwiches, [...]
When your tech needs grow up…
When you’ve outgrown kiddie technology — two cheap tin cans and a piece of string — it’s time to get a ToddiPhone! Better range and reception, and nearly as inexpensive. At ToddiPhone we use only the finest, imported steel cans and hand-wound twine. The result is supreme durability and unmatched fidelity. It’s absolutely nothing like [...]
