I went to high school at Michael Power / St. Joseph's. Today the school is located near Centennial Park in Etobicoke, but when I attended the school, it was nested between Bloor and Dundas just west of Islington. Today, you'll find Michael Power Place condos where I once studied history. During
All good things come to an end. What's on your mind this Tuesday?
Ray Manzarek was 74. He was a founding member and keyboardist of 1960s rock group The Doors.
I watched the US version of The Office until Steve Carell left. The last episode I watched, prior to last week's finale, was "Goodbye, Michael" in season seven. I did something similar with ER. I followed and enjoyed ER until Dr. Mark Greene died. That was it for me. I
I'm getting married in a few weeks, so we're now finalizing the music for the big event. There's been some fun debate with regards to what song will play before the ceremony and after the ceremony and while we sign the marriage certificate and all of that, but picking the
It seems there's a Redditor who goes by the name TorontoMike who is quite active on the /r/Canada subreddit. I am definitely not Reddit's TorontoMike. Members of /r/MetaCanada, however, believe we're one and the same and that I'm the "neckbeard" they love to hate. I actually had to
Over the past few days there's been tons of traffic from Gawker, Reddit, Twitter and elsewhere to this comment left by Rinse on March 26. Here's everything I know about it... First, here's what Rinse wrote at 9:09pm that March 26 night in response to allegations Rob Ford has
Isn't it nuts that we have a holiday to celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday? Surely we can do better, Canada! What's on your mind this long weekend?
This entry will contain no editorializing. I'm merely going to report facts. Gawker just wrote about a video of Rob Ford smoking crack cocaine. John Cook, the author, has seen the video, supposedly taken within the past six months. Here is what the video shows: Rob Ford, the mayor of
It's been a blast co-hosting Toronto Mike'd with my good friend Rose, so we're going to keep going. That's right, after some stressful negotiation sessions, I've managed to lock Rose up with a sweet 5-year contract. We're recording episode 38 next week. I will be launching a new podcast, however,
I still can't believe it... You follow a team for decades... watch them in the preseason, catch every regular season game you can, then buckle up for the playoffs. Heading in, you have reasonable expectations. I thought Boston would beat us in 5 or 6. I never liked the matchup,
It's just a game... What's on your mind this Tuesday?
Joyce Brothers was 85. She was the pop psychologist who pioneered the television advice show in the 1950s and enjoyed a long and prolific career as a syndicated columnist, author, and television and film personality.

Peter Worthington was 86. He was a journalist with the Toronto Telegram before becoming a founding editor of the Toronto Sun.
The first home team clinching game I recall was when George Bell squeezed the last out to clinch my Blue Jays the AL East in 1985. It wasn't until that next April, however, that we broke out the Diet Coke. The Maple Leafs were awful in 1985-86, finishing 25-48-7. In
Happy Mother's Day to my mom and all the mothers out there. Here's a list of ten songs with mother in the title. They're all great songs, even if a few of them aren't exactly on message with today's celebration. Mother and Child Reunion - Paul SimonGood Mother - Jann
I've got a good mother, and her voice is what keeps me here. What's on your mind this mother's day weekend?
I've been podcasting since August, and during that time I've learned a few things. 1. Mics Matter If you're building a home studio, don't cheap out on the microphones. The most important part of the puzzle is the mics and they're not cheap. I bought three RØDE Procasters and that
I'm crazy about my boy. I'm not suggesting this is unique as I'm sure almost all fathers feel this way about their sons, but it's a super intense and awesome feeling to love someone in this way. Last year, when my boy was only 10-years old, I let him draft

The following guest blog entry was written by Mark. If you don’t have much time in Toronto, make your trip a truly Canadian experience and only visit that which you won’t find elsewhere. While Toronto has some of the best museums in North America like the Royal Ontario
