4K TV. No this isn’t the price of a TV set, it’s a new(ish) technology that’s slowly making it’s way into our homes courtesy of Rogers. A while back I was part of a lucky group of bloggers chosen by Rogers to participate in a program focused around the Blue Jays 2016 season and Samsung’s SUHD 4K …

So I log in to my gmail account and I see this email asking if I’m up for a weekend adventure with a 2017 Ford Escape. The only other information was the date, and that I would be one of 12 people chosen for this adventure, that was it. Creepy right? So I did what …

Rogers and Samsung helping me live #LifeIn4K

Goat Roti Chronicles - Rogers - 4K - Life in 4K

Confession time: I am a Blue Jays bandwagon jumper. Now that that’s out of the way, let me explain.  My father-in-law has always been a fan of the Jays. Even when they were losing more than winning, he’d religiously sit in front of the TV and watch the entire game until the very last out. …

Interview with Matt Dean Pettit and a giveaway

Goat Roti Chronicles - Rock Lobster - Matt Dean Pettit
