BC just left this comment on my The Weather entry. I cant be leave you haven't posted this yet Mike. Its Josie Dye trying to sing O'Canada at the Toronto Rock game the other night. How is she still at the Edge again? LOLIt seems the Toronto Rock played the
I monitor Toronto weather via gCast, a simple little Chrome extension. Here's what it looks like right now: 26°, 25°, 31°, 25°... those numbers are absolutely sick for March. I took last week off to enjoy March Break with the kids, and we were out playing catch every day. I
I just had one of those 9/11 conspiracy documentaries playing in the background while I worked. It mentions National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice's statement that "No one could have predicted that they would try to use an airplane as a missile.". That reminded me of The Lone Gunmen's pilot.
There's a clear different between the American and Canadian $100 bill. Advantage: Canada.
In the wee hours of this St. Patrick's Day morning, the High Park wooden playground burned. The fire was set on purpose. That's right, arson burned this castle to the ground. When my kids were younger, they loved that playground. Here's a photo I took during the summer of 2007.

Former Google engineer James Whittaker as written an interesting blog entry about why he left Google to return to Microsoft. The Google I was passionate about was a technology company that empowered its employees to innovate. The Google I left was an advertising company with a single corporate-mandated focus.Under
Folks, I need some help. I'm looking for an MP3 of the Blue Jays version of Terry Cashman's "Talkin' Baseball". It's a glaring omission from http://www.torontomike.com/blue_jays_songs/ for one reason and one reason only. I don't have it! If anyone out there does, please contact
When speaking French, Prime Minister Stephen Harper likes to pronounce "election" as "erection".
I'm conflicted. Two Undefeated documentaries are calling my name. Both look great, but I only have time to watch one... Do I watch this Undefeated? "A documentary that follows the Manassas Tigers football team, a severely underfunded and underprivileged football team -- who were even hired out as a practice
Let's finish last.
I spent the afternoon at Redfish studios for the recording of Humble and Fred's 100th podcast and a little celebration afterwards. It's hard to believe the guys have 100 shows in the can already. I first teased this little experiment on August 4th, 2011 and sat down with Humble and
On the heels of our great discussion about computer operating systems, I want to know what OS is running on your smart phone. I have a Samsung Galaxy S II running Android. I've had it for about six months after years of using a Blackberry. I love my Android, but
I have a work-issued MacBook Pro running OS X, a laptop running Windows 7 and a desktop running Ubuntu 11.10. That makes me lucky enough to have the big three operating systems at my fingertips. I work from home, and the bulk of my work is done on the
About five years ago, I wondered which 15 albums I would own if I could only own 15 albums. The first album on that list was Alice in Chains' Dirt. What can I say about Dirt? If it's okay with you, I'd like to steal from myself again. Here's what
I still remember taking my son James to his first Jays game. That was way back in 2004 and Gabe Gross hit a grand slam, Russ Adams hit his first career home run and Carlos Delgado went deep in a 12-5 victory. Brian Burke sat two rows ahead of us
It's the March Break. That likely doesn't mean anything to you unless you have kids in primary school. Here in Tank Nation all the buzz is about robo calls, Kony, Sid and Rob Ford's Cut the Waist challenge. Just kidding about that last one... What's on your mind?
Earlier today, tweets were flying around linking to this video of a fight that broke out in the Rogers Centre stands last night during the TFC match. Yes, one of the guys taking a licking looks like me, but I'd like my friends and loved ones to know it's not
You know what's fun? Racing in Mario Kart when everybody in the room is the same character using the same vehicle. The kids and I are all racing as Diddy Kong in his Mach Bike. Impossible, you say? Thanks to a Wii glitch, it's easy. My kids were certain Diddy
Flyers scout Patrick Burke, who happens to be Brian Burke's son, did a Reddit AMA today. AMA stands for "ask me anything" and when they're done right, they can be pretty awesome. Patrick is promoting the You Can Play Project, founded in honour of his brother Brendan to make locker
During the Leafs game last night, Joe Bowen mentioned that there were only six active NHLers who had ever played for the Leafs in a playoff game. That's amazing, but what's more amazing is the fact that there are only four players still playing who can say they played for
How many of you Googled the name Joseph Kony this morning? An awareness campaign by Invisible Children Inc likely has someone you know and love learning all about Kony's Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) and the bad shit he's been causing in Uganda in the name of Christianity. Here's the video
I'm ploughing my way through The Wire a second time. I should wrap up season four this weekend. Dare I say The Greatest Show On Television, Ever™ is even better the second time? The first time around, I listed my ten favourite characters on The Wire, but that list will
