I don't own an iPhone, but I do own an iPod Touch. I enjoy several free apps, including Seesmic, Facebook, Scramble and the TD Bank app. I'm addicted to that damn Scramble game, but I digress... The Roman Catholic Church has approved an iPhone app called Confession. It's only $1.
YouTube user Retrontario frequently uploads fantastic retro-Toronto-centric gems. These clips never fail to bring back a ton of memories for me, so I feature them from time to time. I don't think a month goes by that I don't reference the Whisper 2000 at least once. These Whisper 2000 ads

Here in Canada, we still live in a digital ghetto, and it's getting worse. Our friends at the CRTC have passed new regulations that will force Internet Service Providers to switch to usage-based billing. I'm a web-savvy guy, and I find it all complicated.

The White Stripes have officially broken up. Their site is down right now, but earlier it contained this paragraph about their breakup. The reason is not due to artistic differences or lack of wanting to continue, nor any health issues as both Meg and Jack are feeling fine and in

Have you heard? It's going to snow tonight. The local media is ecstatic. 680 News, for example, opened their Storm Centre. It was about seven years ago that I first wondered aloud as to what opening their Storm Centre would entail. I wonder what setting up the Storm Centre entails
The last of Egypt's main Internet service providers, the Noor Group, went offline yesterday. Without internet, Egyptians are being muted, leaving "The Papyrus Revolution" without a voice.

So... Stan Lee is creating superheroes for each team in the NHL. According to the NHL, "these 30 Guardians will be unveiled together in a special presentation during the 2011 NHL All-Star Game on Jan. 30 in Raleigh, N.C." Pretty cool. I can't wait to see what superhero my
