I just took a peek at traffic to this site from 11:30am to 12:30pm. During this random hour, a few visits were rather interesting. CrocsYes, the good people at Crocs were interested in my Crocs conundrum. As you can see, they actually visited the entry twice. They're likely
I might be a cool white guy, but it's been a month since I wrote that entry and I still haven't stuck Infernal Affairs in the DVD player. What's up with that? Where did tv time go? I've caught a few flicks recently on TMN and I've been watching John

Our beloved Toronto Maple Leafs and newly acquired netminder Vesa Toskala have agreed to a two-year, $8 million contract extension. This contract begins after next season. That's some serious cabbage for a 30-year-old who has never been a number one goaltender in this league. Last season, his best in the
I remember when I first saw them. It was about two years ago and I was in the waiting room of my kids' pediatrician. An entire family came in wearing these colourful shoes that looked like plastic Dutch clogs. I snickered to myself and shook my head. These things looked
I received an email from a company called Web Sheriff the other day with the subject line "URGENT/DMCA TAKE DOWN-WHITE STRIPES". Here's what they wanted to tell me. SUMMARY DMCA NOTIFICATION1.

As a kid, I was enamoured with a little cartoon called The Transformers. You may have heard a thing or two about this franchise. I followed the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons closely, cheering on Optimus Prime and the good guys and taking note of their need for reinforcements
I'm shocked. I checked in on The Pattersons this morning and caught Elizabeth and Anthony sharing a kiss. I just didn't see this coming, did you? Here's the For Better or For Worse strip, if you missed it. And yes, I'm being sarcastic, if you missed that. The final frame

I know we just held this vote for our new slo-pitch team nickname, but some people thought some important names were left off the ballot. This is the final, binding vote for Raging Storm's new name. Voting is open until the strike stroke of midnight on July 10, 2007. If
Beverly Sills was 78. She was the world-renowned soprano who became the most popular opera singer in America in modern times.
My ball team, Raging Storm, has never had a sub-.500 season. Going into last night's game, we were stuck at .500 and looking to break out. We put up 14 runs and shut down the TPS Warriors in the first, giving us a two touchdown lead after one. That's
Boots Randolph was 80. His spirited saxophone playing on "Yakety Sax" endeared him to fans for years on Benny Hill's TV show.

It is with great privilege and honour that I unveil to you the final song list for SLS17. For an SLS primer, go here and to see what appeared on SLS16, go here. We listened to hours and hours of new rock before deciding upon these 20 tracks. Without further
It ain't the Sam's Yonge Street facade, but it's noteworthy. They're taking down the Citytv today, or maybe tomorrow. You know that truck that appears to be bursting out of the side of the building on Queen and John. We saw this coming when Rogers announced Citytv was leaving the
Bon Cop, Bad Cop: 6 out of 10. Bon Cop, Bad Cop was named Best Motion Picture at this years Genie Awards. I had heard many good things about this flick, so I was pretty jazzed when I settled in to watch it this weekend. Patrick Huard and Colm Feore
It was a jam packed long weekend, so I'm going to cheat a little and flashback to an entry I wrote four years ago today. Published July 2, 2003 @ 09:40I've gotta share this story, because it's too surreal not to post. Yesterday my buddy Marc gave me a call
I needed to take a few things for a quick overnight camping trip, so I threw it all in my trusty Adidas bag. It occurred to me as I lugged around this old bag that I've been using it for what seems like forever. I believe I received it as
While the kids and I were camping under the stars and fireworks, the Toronto Maple Leafs signed unrestricted free agent Jason Blake. Blake scored 40 goals for the New York Islanders last season while no Leaf scored 30. I like the signing. Blake can clearly score, it tough and can

Running in Etienne Brule Park this morning, I saw a number of inukshuk on the Humber River. I'm not sure who built them, but it was quite the sight on this Canada Day. From good ol' Wikipedia, here's what they symbolize. An inuksuk is a stone landmark used as a
It's been quite the journey. We kicked off our quest to assemble the greatest Canadian songs in the history of the world back on May 15 and here we are, a month and a half later. It's unlikely everyone will agree with all 100 choices, many great songs were left
