I'm submitting a song for SLS19 consideration. I'm submitting "Sky Is Over" by Serj Tankian. I'm a sucker for Serj's delivery. I'm a big System of a Down fan who always preferred the tracks with Serj on vocals. This is yet another Serj winner. This isn't the official video but
Barry Morse was 89. A longtime Canadian resident, he was most famous for his portrayal of the cold-hearted detective who relentlessly pursues the wrongly convicted Richard Kimble for four seasons in The Fugitive.
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was 91. He was a guru to the Beatles who introduced the West to transcendental meditation.
I don't currently subscribe to any magazines now that I've let my subscription to Rolling Stone lapse, but I've got a buddy who saves every copy of Sports Illustrated and ESPN The Magazine for me. I read both from cover to cover and what I'm about to write might surprise
Bob Weir, Phil Lesh and Mickey Hart reunited yesterday for the first time in four years to back Barack Obama. Weir, Lesh and Hart are the three surviving members of the Grateful Dead. "Deadhead" has become the generic term for super loyal fans who tour with a band as opposed
I'm featuring 1988 Topps Cards featuring members of my beloved Blue Jays that are featured on this blog. Derek Bell is actually the second Blue Jays prospect featured in the O-Pee-Chee set. O-Pee-Chee cards were the ones I collected and they were essentially Topps cards with a Canadian angle and
Like George Costanza, I need to go into a film fresh. Months ago, when I started hearing buzz about "Juno", I shut myself off from all Juno-related press. I've been avoiding reviews, articles, interviews and everything else that accompanies a film's release. Since I've been in the cold, everything in
I turned on the television yesterday just in time to catch the national anthem. I then watched the entire Super Bowl, rooting for the Giants to pull off the upset. If you were watching that fourth quarter, you already know how thrilling it was. New York had the lead, New
In June of 2006 I wrote about "Louie, "Louie", a 1990 remix of the song by Young MC featuring the rap stylings of our very own Maestro Fresh-Wes. For years this song only lived in my memories. I couldn't find it anywhere. This morning I awoke to find it in
I'm featuring 1988 Topps Cards featuring members of my beloved Blue Jays that are featured on this blog. Unlike Jim Clancy and Ernie Whitt, I have no memories of Alex Sanchez. He was our #1 pick in the 1987 draft but he didn't pan out. In fact, he only made
Juno: 9 out of 10. "Juno" is fantastic. It's funny, charming and sweet and is powered by a great cast. It's a great cast, with personal faves J.K. Simmons, Michael Cera and Jason Bateman complemented nicely by Allison Janney, Olivia Thirlby and Jennifer Garner, but this movie kills because
I hear there's a pretty big football game today. I'll tune in at some point in the first half after I get home from seeing one of the films on my see list. I'm going to watch "Juno". For a few reasons, I'll be rooting for the New York Giants.
I loved the first Everyday Normal Guy rap song from Jon Lajoie and HhDotCom tells me there's a sequel. Here's the very funny and very NSFW Everyday Normal Guy 2.
I've mentioned in recent game recaps that I'm okay with losing these days. Last night, that couldn't be further from the truth. I wanted to beat the Sens as if it was game seven of the Stanley Cup final. I got my wish. It was an entertaining game with hard
For years I've been referring to Hillary Clinton as the next president of the United States of America. I firmly believe the democratic nominee will win the day next November and I've felt Hillary Clinton would likely end up with that nomination. Today, I'm sensing Barack Obama has seized the
James wants to learn French. I'm not talking about the government mandated French class we were all forced to take through grade nine, I'm talking about French Immersion. James has senior kindergarten friends who are already in French Immersion and James thinks this is pretty cool. Although I only know
After writing this entry and this one, I took inventory of the web services that work for me. Using Firefox as my gateway to the web, there's a small handful of web service suites that have become more than mere web pages to me. As I was assembling this rather
Do you know Robbie Earl? What if I told you he was a NASCAR driver, would you doubt it? To my ears, the name Robbie Earl says NASCAR, but he's actually a Toronto Maple Leafs prospect making his NHL debut tonight against the Sens. From Wikipedia: "Robert Wayne Earl (born
Weekends rule for a variety of reasons. On a Saturday, I don't have to visit the office. That means my wife will brew us kick ass coffee in a French press. That relaxing Saturday and Sunday morning coffee might just be the best thing about weekends. The office has fresh
"Marge, are we Jewish?"
I instantly hated the idea of Microsoft buying Yahoo!. Microsoft may be the big boys on the desktop, but they've always sucked at the web. Google and Yahoo either started or bought up most of the web sites and services that work, everything from YouTube to Gmail to Flickr. Microsoft
Chestnut: Hero of Central Park: 4 out of 10. How many movies made for kids feature dogs? There's the "Air Bud" series, "Karate Dog", "Under Dog" and this one, "Chestnut: Hero of Central Park". As you might have guessed, I watched this with the kids. I know he hasn't discovered
I enjoy these "You Suck At Photoshop" tutorials so much, I'm going to post them as they're released. The guys at MyDamnChannel.com actually send me the link every time they post a new episode, so this'll be easy.

These are the top searches that referred people to this site in January of 2008. Once again, this list is dominated by people looking for Ralph Wiggums' Valentine's Day card. "Choo choo" related searches hold down three of the top five spots. I'm pleased to see "toronto blog" breaking into
