I may not like the Ottawa Senators, but I'm accepting of the fact they're a far superior hockey team right now. Last night's game was a mis-match. A talented team took it to us and made us look like an AHL squad. It's painful to watch, but it's important we
My jacket dilemma has me thinking about my '86 Taurus. You see, when I like something, I really like it and I don't want to swap it out for a better model or a newer model. I once wrote that I like progress, I just don't like change. That about
Last month I wrote about how Radiohead was leaving it up to us. Buyers could name their own price when downloading "In Rainbows". At the time I wrote "As I understand it, there's no minimum, but by treating their loyal fans so nicely you can bet this will pay off.
I have a jacket dilemma. I have a favourite jacket, a black leather jacket I've worn for over a decade. The zipper just busted, and it needs a good cleaning, but otherwise this thing is as good as new. I just took it in to my local dry cleaners and
I first linked to the Flash video for Radiohead's acoustic version of "Creep" two years ago today. I'm sharing this video again today because it's a fantastic combination of a great performance and a great video. If you haven't yet seen this, today's your lucky day.
Fans of the Jays all share great memories of "OK Blue Jays (Let's Play Ball)". I stream that song on this page and every once in a while someone leaves a comment about the great memories that song conjures up and the chills it induces. Without exception, those comments have
I used to do this little feature about shows I used to watch. One show I used to watch is "The Wonder Years". Here's the closing scene from the series finale. The music you hear is from The Natural, and it never fails to get me all emotional. What man
When I named a recent entry I'm Telling You For The Last Time, it was a subtle tribute to Jerry Seinfeld. Jerry named his 1998 HBO special "I'm Telling You for the Last Time". I still enjoy watching Seinfeld reruns when I stumble upon them. I can rarely stomach anything
In his column for The Sporting News, Ken Campbell suggests the Sens pursue Mats Sundin. His points are valid. Sundin is having a great year, is a better gamble for the Sens than Forsberg and the Leafs could use some young talent from the Sens war chest as we rebuild.
Well, that was frustrating. Yesterday evening, while I watched the Colts and Patriots play a fairly entertaining football game, I decided to multi-task. I figured I could blow up and rebuild this site by the final whistle. This time, I'd go pure CSS. Everything was going swimmingly. This site is
I spent Saturday morning at Humble Howard's place where he showed me some cool Blackberry shortcuts, we discussed potential Internet ventures and I got to hear all about his top secret wheelings and dealings with Insight that very well could make him the next Simon Cowell. Unfortunately, I'm sworn to
Yes, I blew up the site and rebuilt it. In Firefox, things look pretty good, although I have a little fine tuning to do here and there. In IE, things are quite wonky, as you might have noticed. When I get a few minutes, I'm going to repair the damage
First there was anger. I blame Wade Phillips. The Music City Miracle was only made possible because Rob Johnson started instead of Doug Flutie. Hurt by the NFL, I found comfort in the organic beauty of the CFL and fully embraced the Argos. Last season I didn't watch a single
The trouble with being mediocre is the fact you don't blow chunks every night and every other game or so you actually pull off an exciting win. This Leafs team is just like our teams from the past couple of seasons. We'll get blown out one night, lose a tight
It's that time, folks. It's time for my annual rant against the move from Daylight Saving Time. Before we go to sleep tonight, we'll all move our clocks back an hour to Standard Time. It's dumb. Anticipating my annual rant, Ajax Mike has sent me a little ammo. One more
Lillian "The Fabulous Moolah" Ellison was 84. She was the most famous and recognized women's wrestler.
Let's do a little compare and contrast... I have a television on each floor of my home, but only one of them is hooked up to a digital terminal. I watched the Leafs and Devils on a television that didn't have digital cable, and with five minutes remaining in the
"It's about time trees were good for something, instead of just standing there like jerks!"
The following exchange is real. It took place between my wife and I about 90 minutes ago. Me: I'm still upset about that $1.99 milk. Me: I'm pretty sure that price is illegal. Remember, I worked five years in the grocery business. I know a thing or two about
I have a $50 bet with a friend regarding our next federal election. I say Stephen Harper's Conservative Party will be completely shut out in the 416. My friend says they'll win at least one seat in Toronto. I'm so confident they won't, I would have bet up to $500.
For years, Friday nights at my house meant Oz. I'm not talking about the Wizard of Oz with Dorothy and the gang, I'm talking about the HBO series that aired from 1997 until 2003. I loved that show, and every time I'm reminded of it, I get bummed that it's
Just a quick follow up to my suggestion you scour the blogosphere before you buy. It's probably also a good idea to search the blogosphere before you sell...

"Californication" has become a show I love to hate. I watched every episode of the first season and I cringed about a dozen times per ep. I started to look forward to this show just so I could yell smart-ass remarks at the screen and tell David Duchovny's character how
