I've been enjoying Motorola's Xoom tablet running Android 3.1 Honeycomb since August. I'm trying to play with as many iPad challengers as possible in my little Tablet Talent Show. So far I've reviewed a Touchpad from HP, a Playbook from RIM and now a XOOM from Motorola. First things
Being a couple of days late with this stuff isn't going to fly as Canada's celebrity blogger. As you probably already know, we Arrested Development fans aren't just getting a movie, but we're getting another 9 or 10 episodes, each focusing on one character, explaining what they've been up to
I just learned Zack Teperman, the man behind Canadian celebrity gossip blog ZackTaylor.ca, has called it quits. He's sold the domain name and everything. This gives me an idea... Someone has to fill this Canadian celebrity blogger void. Someone has to step up and source out the next Jiri
It appears to be a soft launch, meaning City hasn't promoted it very much so they can work out any kinks, but today is day 1, and it's on Rogers digital channel 1. What does everyone think? It's a curious experiment. Since people are so used to flipping to cp24
If you see more blurry eyed Torontonians than usual today, you can blame Nuit Blanche. That's where I was until the wee hours of the night. Tweet of the night went to @Uranowski who wrote the following: Nuit Blanche is everything Rob Ford hates: Public Art, walking and road closures
I actually wrote this entry on Google+ first... then realized nobody will read it there. So here's a modified version for the 12 of you checking in on a Saturday morning. I saw Moneyball last night, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's great fun for those of us who like
Eight years ago this month, I wrote about drug addition and Vancouver's Insite clinic. Let's revisit that entry... September 15, 2003 @ 21:38 Today marked the official opening of North America's first legal safe-injection site at 139 East Hastings St. in Vancouver, B.C. It will be staffed by 16
Here's a scene from this past season of Curb Your Enthusiasm. As you'll see, Larry and Jeff discuss the use of smiley faces in texts and Larry predicts the New York Times will eventually use it in a headline. Yesterday, the New York Times published this article with the headline
What the hell happened to September? This is your chance to share a thought, an opinion, a commentary, a response, an engagement... whatever you want. Pound the keys! What's on your mind?

I hate the Red Sox. Not as much as I hate the Yankees, but it's a pretty strong hate. Needless to say, I was rooting for a Red Sox loss and a Tampa Bay win last night, but with the Rays down 7-0 to the Yankees and the Red Sox
It's the 90s, and you can comment or not. [via Everything is Terrible]
Freddie P is sharing a story today about the studio they're building for the new Humble and Fred Radio show. I've been to their new studio a couple of times now, including yesterday, so I'm going to spill the beans as to what this place is really like. Firstly, it's
I work with a very persistent young lady who really, really wants me to promote the Android TO conference. Sorry... I've just been told it's actually the AndroidTO conference. My bad. Coincidentally, I'm days away from reviewing the Motorola Xoom, a tablet running Android. The Xoom is my first foray
Tonight I was lucky enough to watch the Chiefs defeat the Bisons at High Park to win the championship. My son happens to be a very proud member of the Chiefs, who won the series 3 games to 1. Congratulations, James.
Rathika Sitsabaiesan's Member of Parliament Profile reveals she's an NDP MP for Scarborough-Rouge River. If you click over, you'll see the profile pic on the left. According to Contrarian, Rathika Sitsabaiesan's profile pic was originally the one you see on the right. Can you see the difference?
The Ministry of the Solicitor General and the Ontario Provincial Police, back in 1981, wanted you to use your eyes if you're being robbed. Because they can rob you, but they can't rob you blind. Unless they shoot you in the eye! [via Retrontario}
When I was a kid, I got excited when George Bell hit 26 homers in '84 and then 28 in '85. Jesse Barfield's 40 in '86 seemed unreal, and Bell's 47 in '87 felt Ruthian. When I was growing up, 40 homers meant something very, very special. At some point
Jim Henson would have been 75 today. His most famous creation is probably Kermit the Frog, a character performed and voiced by Jim Henson until his death in 1990. This picture always makes me sad.
You lucky bastards are getting three for one here. That's right, three radio hits in one entry. See what I did there? I called them "hits" because "hits" are played on the radio. I could have called them "thoughts" or "points", but that wouldn't have been nearly as clever. Let's
I wore my Optimus Reim shirt today. You can get yours here. Optimus Reim, a.k.a. James Reimer, gets the start tonight in preseason play. He's a rather important part of the Maple Leafs' 2011/2012 hopes and dreams. When I look at last year's team, a team that
It's funny how things change. In 2006, I listed my five favourite R.E.M. songs, and they were as follows: Follow MeDriveEverybody HurtsMan On The MoonIt's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)I still love those five tunes, but I think my
It was almost four years ago that I begged the Blue Jays to bring back their old logo. That old Jays logo is the only one I'll wear. I love how the double blues are complemented by a healthy dose of Canadian red (with actual maple leaf!) popping on white.
Good news everyone! Google+ is now in beta, and anyone can sign up. For the past 12 weeks we've been in field trial, and during that time we've listened and learned a great deal. We're nowhere near done, but with the improvements we've made so far we're ready to move
Billboard has a great synopsis of the Pearl Jam Twenty soundtrack. The die-hards have probably already seen it. If you're one of those early birds, please don't give away the ending. I want to see this. "Release" (from Sept. 16, 2006 Verona, Italy)"Written shortly after Eddie Vedder's arrival in
