Hey kids, Sarah Silverman is funny. She put this video together for Jimmy Kimmel and it's tres amusing. How ya like them apples?
The first Google, before Google became Google, was Yahoo!. Here's a little love letter I once wrote to Yahoo! and here's my recollection of the World Wide Web's beginning. As I said, Yahoo! was my Google before Google became my Google. Yahoo! is being wooed by the evil empire. Microsoft
During the 3rd period of last night's game, my mom IM'd me to complain there was nothing on tv. I told her I was watching the Leafs game. Her response was "you still watch?" That's when I realized the Leafs are my favourite reality show. Now that I've hit this
Here we go again. The snow watch frenzy is in high gear as we anticipate 25-30cm of snow between midnight and tomorrow evening. The Weather Network page for Toronto has a "Winter storm warning" in full effect. Here it is: SNOW HEAVY AT TIMES IS EXPECTED ACROSS ALL OF SOUTHERN
Chris Berman goes crazy.
Tonight I watched "Dumbo" for the first time in about 25 years. It was exactly as I remembered it, except for a super trippy pink elephant sequence that begins when Dumbo and his mouse buddy get drunk. For some reason, I completely forgot about this part. Watching it tonight with
When Homer Simpson attended his high school reunion, he left with the "Person Who Traveled the Least Distance to Be Here" award. This wasn't viewed as a positive thing. I live less than 4km from my primary school, my high school and the hospital I was born at. Does anyone
When you're on your 7134th blog entry, it's likely you've covered a lot of ground. Although I don't have any facts to back this up, I'd guess the most popular subject of blogs is Britney Spears. She's prime gossip fodder with mass appeal and everybody loves staring at a train
The Toronto Bills have the NFL's blessing. The National Football League has reached an agreement with the Buffalo Bills that will allow them to play eight games in Toronto over the next five years, starting in 2008. We won't be able to just buy a couple of tickets to a
I had a 3pm appointment at King and York, and it was colder than a witch's tit out there today, so I was pretty pleased to find a parking meter right on King by the Roy Thompson Hall. I was also pretty pleased that I could buy an hour of
I learnt a lot about my sacroiliac today, and it's giving me a case of deja vu. Where do I know sacroiliac from?Oh yes, the year was 1989 and Canada's greatest rap song had just been released. I heard it once, was hooked right away, and learnt the lyrics.
This afternoon, about two months after my right leg quit on me, I met with Dr. Grant Lum, MD, CCFP, Diploma in Sport Medicine. The dude acts as a consultant to the NHL Players' Association and he really seems to know his stuff. I told him my story, most of
Super Bowl Logos - This is kinda neat. It's every Super Bowl logo to date. It's interesting to see how design has changed over the past four decades.
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. Europe - Final Countdown This one is for George
This might be the best time to be a Leafs fan. Think about it. If we win, yay! If we lose, yay! As these losses pile up, our odds of making the playoffs slip from 3% and Uncle Cliffy can do what he has to do. The Raptors lost as
You never know what song is going to stick. My kids might be exposed to dozens of new songs each week, but only a select few become favourites that they memorize and sing ad nauseam. For the longest time Michelle was in love with K-OS' "Sunday Morning", and then the
As I did with Jim Clancy, I'm going to feature 1988 Topps Cards featuring members of my beloved Blue Jays. Like Jim Clancy, Ernie Whitt was an original Blue Jay. He stuck around through the 1989 season and was extremely popular. In fact, he was my brother Ryan's favourite Blue
This article on the rules & quirks in the glorious sport of baseball says there are twenty-three ways to get a man (any man) on first base. At first I didn't believe it, but then I read the list. Here are the 23 ways you can get to first base.
As I referenced earlier in the day, Homer Simpson assumed the persona of Kurt Cobain during last night's episode of "The Simpsons". He led a band called Sadgasm. Politically IncorrectThis was the first song we heard from Sadgasm. It's a lot like Nirvana's "Rape Me". Politically Incorrect Redux?I can't
When I found the bridge pic last night, I found a few other nuggets from the mid-90s. The picture below is my home entertainment system in my very first apartment in 1996. Here's a little more I wrote about 30 Charles Street West, University of Toronto family housing. The rent
I recently wrote about how we now know what bridge Gord is on in The Tragically Hip video for "Yer Not The Ocean". Patrick, a big fan of suspension bridges, identified it as the Buntzen Lake suspension bridge near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Hit up that entry for a pic.
I tuned into "The Simpsons" last night and enjoyed my trip back to the 90s. The story covered a period of time after Homer and Marge graduated high school but before Bart was born. It sent up 90s stuff like grunge and cigar bars. Homer's grunge songs were actually pretty
Now that Damon Stoudamire and the Memphis Grizzlies have negotiated a buy out of his contract, he's about to be as free as a bird. It looks like Stoudamire will join the Celtics, but there's a slim chance he could become a Toronto Raptor. I would love to see Mighty
I'm trying to come to grips with the fact I'll never be able to grow a full bushy beard. I can grow facial hair, but after a few days it just looks weak and begs me to shave it off. I've been trying to grow a solid goatee for over
Suharto was 86. He was the former Indonesian President and U.S. Cold War ally who led one of the 20th century's most brutal dictatorships over 32 years that saw up to a million political opponents killed.
