Hosted by long time tech journalists Andy Walker and Sean Carruthers, the weekly show cover the latest tech trends, showing viewers advanced tips on how to use technology they own.

The hosts also reprise Walker's famous 'food demos' from his days as co-host on Call for help. In the demos, the hosts use every day objects to show how technology works (i.e. whip cream and turkey basters for inkjet printers, ham and cheese sandwiches for RAID hard drives, etc).

Dee Long (of Klaatu fame) wrote the theme song. The show's web site and animated intro was designed by famed Australian illustrator Steve Huntriss. Consulting producer includes Geo Perdis of MediaWorks.ca
