The latest edition of Georgia Straight Living magazine hit news stands yesterday, and in it are two of my columns.

The first looks at how LG is incorporating steam technology into its clothes washers and dryers.

The second is my usual contribution of gadgetry, this time ‘round collecting examples of wearable tech.

My latest column in the Georgia Straight is a look at Vidfest, Vancouver’s Digital Festival, which runs next week.

It starts with the Vancouver International Games Summit and ends with the PopVox Awards.

Get the lowdown over here in the latest “Techno Logic.”

While Grand Theft Auto IV was setting sales records, it was also plagued with reports of the game hanging and freezing. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick told media the game was “glitch free.”

The next day, Rockstar released a patch for the PS3 version of the game.

The patch has got my PS3 GTA IV up and running again, which is nice.

I never did have problems with the Xbox 360 version of the game, but apparently some people are. No patch for them.

Not yet, anyway.

When you’ve mastered the moves of parkour (or free running, depending on your bent), this is what you do next.

It’s become the biggest entertainment launch in history, raking in some $500 million on sales of six million copies of the game.

In one week.

Grand Theft Auto IV is worthy, and in my latest “Trigger Happy” column in the Georgia Straight I explain why.
