There you are, inches away from the final boss, your palms are sweaty, and your heart is racing. You’ve put in thirty hours of gameplay to get to this moment. You go to line up that perfect headshot, but suddenly, your character starts slowly wandering to the left as if they’ve spotted a shiny nickel…
Heads up: We may earn a small commission on items purchased through our Amazon links. It helps keep the bench lights on! Greetings from the other side of the continent! While I’m out here “galavanting”: as some might call it: my brain is still very much in the shop. Traveling is one of those things…
If you’ve ever swung by my basement workshop here in Raymond, you know things can get pretty crowded. Between the stacks of vintage consoles waiting for a second lease on life and the modern gaming rigs in for a tune-up, there’s always something humming. But lately, I’ve added a new “staff member” to the team,…
You know that feeling when you’re vacuuming the living room, you’re on a roll, you’re finally getting those crumbs from behind the sofa, and, THWACK, the plug flies out of the wall because you ran out of cord? It’s a universal tragedy. It’s the tether that keeps us grounded, literally. For years, we’ve lived in…
Let’s be real for a second: there is a certain “new laptop smell” that’s almost as addictive as a fresh pot of coffee on a Monday morning. You crack open that pristine white box, peel off the plastic film, and feel like you’ve just ascended to tech royalty. But then, you look at your bank…
We’ve all been there. You’re walking down 3rd Ave in Lethbridge, the wind kicks up: because, let’s be honest, it’s Lethbridge: and you fumble. Your iPhone does a spectacular backflip onto the pavement. You pick it up, praying to the tech gods, but there it is: the “spiderweb” look. Your screen is toast. Now, your…
If you’ve been hanging around the tech corners of the internet lately, you’ve probably heard the name “Neo” whispered more often than a Keanu Reeves fan convention. Apple’s latest release, the MacBook Neo, is officially out in the wild, and it has the entire industry, including us over here at Second Wind Sales and Services,…
If you’ve ever stepped through the front door of Second Wind Sales and Services, you know the sound. It isn’t the whirring of a cooling fan or the steady click-clack of Stan working away on a motherboard. No, the first thing you hear is a voice that sounds like a burst of sunshine hitting a…
If you live in Magrath, Stirling, or anywhere along the Highway 5 corridor, you know two things to be true: the wind is usually trying to push your truck into the ditch, and when your technology breaks, your first instinct is to look toward Lethbridge. It’s a habit. We’re programmed to think that “the big…
Let’s be honest for a second. We all have “The Drawer.” You know the one. It’s usually in the kitchen or the home office. It’s filled with tangled white cables from iPhones you traded in three years ago, a digital camera that takes worse photos than your current doorbell, and maybe a Blackberry that you’re…
