Here's 1:28 from the 2-hour Humble and Fred podcast that really spoke to me.

With a second left on the clock and down by two, who do you want to take that buzzer beating shot? If I had a time machine, I'd want Michael Jordan with the ball. If no time machine is available, give me Lebron James. Last night, Lebron James got the
I always thought Toronto was home to three universities, until I stumbled upon Pizza PIzza University during a walk through an industrial part of Etobicoke this afternoon. You can add Pizza Pizza University to U of T, York and Ryerson as one of our four unis. Find more information of
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. Fear not, Jays fans. We'll come out of this funk. And just to make sure we do, here's Robbie Alomar's 1994
The Greatest Show On Television, Ever™ used Tom Waits' "Down In A Hole" as its theme song. Each season featured a different artist singing the song. Here's how I rank the five versions of "Down In A Hole" that accompanied the opening credits for each season of The Wire. 5.
I'm hearing it played over the loudspeakers in Chicago when the Blackhawks score and I just heard it in a beer commercial during the Jays game. The Fratelli's Chelsea Dagger is the song of the night.
There's a problem when it's Roy and four guys you don't know. The bubble is always at risk of bursting. Following a three game sweep by the Red Sox in Boston, reinforcements are here from Cybertron. Brett Cecil and Bobby Ray were sent down to Las Vegas (I'll never get
Here are recent comments left on this site you may have missed. All of these comments were left within the past few weeks. If you guys don't like the show so much why are you still watching it? There's BT and Canada AM to choose from. Ann Rohmer and the
Has it really been twenty years since Public Enemy's "Fight the Power"? I must be getting old, because I remember wearing out my Public Enemy mix tapes on my Sony Walkman as a teen. Twenty damn years... Here's your PE primer if you need one. Here's the awesome Spike Lee
It's going to be 27°C and mostly sunny today, perfect softball weather. My Beer League team makes its season debut at 6pm. It's called the Beer League because every other team in this league consumes vast amounts of beer throughout each game. I've noted a correlation between beer consumption
I share an MP3 from my collection every Wednesday. You have seven days to grab this week's MP3. Please right-click your mouse and select "Save Link As..." or "Save target as..." so you can download it to your PC before playing. The Watchmen - Stereo I'm sharing this great tune
Back on May 2, 2009, a bunch of us old time Humble and Fred fans got together at a Toronto pub to witness the recording of the 20th Anniversary Podcast of Memories. And lo and behold, here it is! It's a couple of hours long, and over 100MB, so be
I just saw the torch for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and, well, it's a joint. Seriously, you can see it for yourself below this entry if you doubt me. Composed of stainless steel, aluminum and sheet moulding, the torch was designed to evoke snow, ice, skiing and skating, but to
I know I'm sounding like a broken record, but the 20th Anniversary Podcast of Memories is coming very, very soon. It really is. Trust me. In the meantime... here's the 55 seconds we heard right after the podcast concluded. This bonus audio won't be found in the podcast itself, coming
Next month, I'll be attending the Search Engines Strategies 2009 Conference and Expo here in Toronto June 8-10. Now in its 6th year, the event is organized and programmed by Andrew Goodman, the SES Advisory Board and SearchEngineWatch.com, the leading authority on Search Engine Marketing (SEM), including SEO and
I listened to CFNY (Edge 102) throughout the 90s. It was my favourite radio station, not just for the tunes but for the personalities. I can't remember a time at 102 before Martin Streek. Martin Streek always seemed to be there, hosting the Thursday 30 and live-to-air broadcasts from various
I'm not going to sugar coat this. The Chicago Blackhawks are 8 wins away from winning the Stanley Cup. That result would be devastating for fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Allow me to explain... Leaf fans are often taunted with the year 1967. That's the last time we (yeah,
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: 6 out of 10. The whole family watched "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" last night. It was strange at first to see Indy as an old dude, and I found it opened a little slow, but once
I caught the end of one of those VH1 list shows. This one was counting down the top 10 one hit wonders of the 1980s. Naturally, I started compiling my own list. This list is from a Canadian perspective. I don't care what they say in the USA, Bruce Cockburn
Just last night I was checking in on the Blue Jays television coverage when I saw next week's Boston Red Sox games were to be broadcast on TSN2, a station not currently carried by Rogers Cable. That prompted me to write this tweet: Speaking of not watching the Jays on
Take a moment to soak in the current MLB standings. Yes, it's early, and you don't win anything in May, but it's been 16 damn years so I'm going to savour this. Guys named Robby Ray are pitching gems and reinforcements are on the way. It's happening, folks. In honour
Back in January, I started my search for a Toronto mother willing to blog as Toronto Mommy at TorontoMommy.com. I found a Toronto Mom interested in writing and she's been blogging away over there ever since. This morning, I gave TorontoMommy.com a little facelift. If you're a Mom
It's Saturday and I'd love to watch the NHL playoffs tonight, but the NHL in their infinite wisdom has decided to make us wait another day. Of course, Saturday night hockey is only a cherished tradition in Canada, so the NHL's decision makes sense. While we wait for round three
I got my first baseball glove when I was six or seven years old. I played with that plastic Canadian Tire brand glove for years until I received a Black Diamond glove made by Cooper. That Black Diamond glove was used every day of every summer for years until I
I'm submitting a song for SLS21 consideration. I'm submitting "Fixed to Ruin" by Sam Roberts. I've seen Sam Roberts perform three times, and he's always great. I read a quote from him several years ago in which he says his greatest love was "dirty fuckin’ rock ‘n’ roll." I've always
