I'm not at all comfortable with this. I'm actually disappointed the Leafs won this game. I shouldn't feel bummed when we're up 4-0. Blake had a monster night with three goals and two assists. Luckily for us, the Maple Leafs are 1-4 in the second half of games on back-to-back
I wrote about the 49 Songs contest CBC Radio 2 is running this month. I've been tuning in and it's a lot of fun. Voting closes today on their top 100 nominations. In an effort to be more inclusive, CBC has broken things down into four categories, to get instrumental
Jackie Chan is in negotiations to star in the remake of 1984 hit movie The Karate Kid, according to reports. The martial arts star would take on the role of mentor Mr Miyagi. I wrote about my love of The Karate Kid and the late Pat Morita as Kesuke Miyagi
I'm submitting a song for SLS21 consideration. I'm submitting "Oh, The Boss is Coming!" by Arkells. These guys are from Hamilton and they've got a fun tune on their hands here. This is my music @ work.
With Ricardo Montalban's passing yesterday, I was reminded of Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan. My father took me to see Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan at the old Runnymede Theatre back in 1982. Quick math tells me I was either 7 or 8 years old, depending upon how
I like my marriage more and more with every year that passes. Today is my 13th wedding anniversary and I don't even want to think about a life without my wife. Seriously, I'm so blessed I'm practically embarrassed. My wedding was unusual. I shared the story five years ago. We

Ricardo Montalban was 88. He was the Mexican-born actor who became a star in splashy MGM musicals and later as the wish-fulfilling Mr. Roarke in TV's "Fantasy Island." I remember him well as Vincent Ludwig in The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!.
Patrick McGoohan was 80. He was an Emmy Award-winning actor who starred as a British spy in the 1960s TV series "Secret Agent" and "The Prisoner" and was known for playing various villainous roles in films and on television.

Another Leafs game, another loss. Before this season began, I received some flack for calling this the worst Leafs team ever. Then, they came out of the gate playing some inspired hockey and I heard rumblings about making the playoffs. That inspired play is long gone, and the one positive
If you've got a younger child at home, you've probably heard of Webkinz. For the unaware, a Webkinz is a plush toy pet you register online. Then, in a very safe web environment, your child plays with the pet and does all sorts of neat things. My son has adopted
I'm submitting a song for SLS21 consideration. I'm submitting "Ulysses" by Franz Ferdinand. I'm really digging this new Franz Ferdinand track. The quiet parts actually remind me of Flight of the Conchords, but don't tell Franz Ferdinand that. Great tune.
Fact: Doogie Howser was the world's first blogger. Think about it... he sat at that computer and typed out crap nobody but he would care about. Now that's blogging!
My wife had to make an emergency trip out west, so I was forced into Mr. Mom action. The weekend was fine, but yesterday was the first day I was solely responsible for the kids on a school day. There was a drop off time and place for James, another
A fourth Blue Jay has been elected into the Hall of Fame. Joining Phil Niekro, Dave Winfield and Paul Molitor is Ricky Henderson who dropped by for a cup of coffee and a World Series victory back in '93. I remember Ricky was having a great season in '93 when
The Legend of Zelda was a big deal when I was a kid. We had the old 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System and The Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link were a couple of games that received primo play time. I mean, we took these games seriously.
I'm submitting a song for SLS21 consideration. I'm submitting "Wannabe in LA" by Eagles of Death Metal. Maybe I like this song because 102.1 plays it 20 times a day. Maybe familiarity doesn't breed contempt.
Some* are calling this the Best. Party. Playlist. Ever. I premiered this playlist on Thursday night to rave reviews. Keep in mind, I avoided songs with swears (although a few slipped through the cracks) and tried to appeal to the masses, thereby avoiding my mosh anthems. The objective was to
Yeah, we lost another game. We're 3-7-0 in our last ten games. As bad as that is, it's not even as bad as Ottawa, which means we're doing something wrong. Repeat after me, Leafs fans. Just lose, baby! Current Record Last GamesSeason Leaders16-20-6 38 points 4th in Northeast Division4-1 Loss
The first vinyl album I ever bought was Duran Duran's Rio. That same year, I bought my first cassette tape. I had golden oldies cassette tapes that were bought for me at gas stations, but the first cassette album I ever purchased was the Stray Cats' Built for Speed. Do
Google has a new favicon. For the less geeky, that's the icon you see in the tab of your browser, assuming you've upgraded IE from 6 or are using a decent browser, like Firefox. The new Google favicon is the Google "g" surrounded by blocks of blue, red, yellow and
I'm a fan of routines. On Thursday morning I was bussed up to Horseshoe Valley ski resort for a couple of days of corporate brainwashing in the guise of purely awesome fun. They cover all meals, give you your own room, give you ski / snowboarding / tubing passes, but you have
