There wasn't a whole lot of scoring last night, but those with Predators made a move on my leading total. My only point came from my lone Predator and that point has me slightly ahead of Alvin and Marc. Cheechoo didn't just play for Steve, he also recorded his first

Because I dig her, and this is her new single, I thought I'd share Feist's video for "1 2 3 4". C'mon get happy...
When that Alphagetti Gobbler commercial entered my mind, it was the first time I thought about that ad in about 25 years. An ad for a similar product, however, never really left my memory bank. Who could forget the Zoodles song? Zoodles, like Alphagetti, was canned pasta that we kids
Last week I wrote about my memories of The Alphagetti Gobbler. That entry is now #1 when you Google alphaghetti gobbler, which means it's attracted some interesting comments from others looking for pictures or video of the elusive Gobbler. It's a smaller world wide web than you think. When I

Every morning I check in on the most read news items at Yahoo! News. It gives you a good idea of what the masses are interested in, which is usually Anna Nicole Smith and Britney Spears. Today, however, the people are sharing a Reuters story about the centre of the
That Devils win was awesome, wasn't it? The four Devils I drafted combined for 9 points. Throw in a Schneider deuce and I'm first overall with 14 points. Steve's in last, but you've got to assume his Sabre contingent will start to score. And he's got Gionta, who plays on
Mitch Hedberg died in 2005 at the age of 37. Here he is on Comedy Central Presents in 1999. As you'll see, he was damn funny.
I completely missed American Idol on Tuesday night because of another commitment. I forgot to tape it but I caught enough during the results show last night to understand this was for the best. I've never been a Latin music fan. Gloria Estefan and Marc Anthony are two of my
When radio host Don Imus referred to the Rutgers University women's basketball team as "nappy-headed hos", his face got plastered all over the media. There are Imus articles on every site, he's on CNN and everyone's got an opinion on whether he should be canned or not. Everything I know
Tim O'Reilly, a fellow blogger, has shared a draft of his Blogger's Code of Conduct. This is a response to the Kathy Sierra affair. Sierra suspended her blog in March because of death threats on her blog and threats of violence posted on other websites. Here are the six parts
Roscoe Lee Browne was 81. His rich voice and dignified bearing brought him an Emmy Award and a Tony nomination. I knew him best as the narrator in "Babe".
Kurt Vonnegut was 84. He captured the absurdity of war and questioned the advances of science in darkly humorous works such as "Slaughterhouse-Five" and "Cat's Cradle." I wrote about Kurt Vonnegut in this entry from February 2006. He will be missed.
That Vancouver game against Dallas ended at 3:32am Toronto time. If you're an East coaster who watched it through, step up for acknowledgement. You truly are a king amongst men. As for the pool, Steve got bad news regarding Cheechoo and finds himself in last. Marc, the perennial winner
Running in this Learn to Run clinic three times a week has turned out to be rather entertaining. The nature of the class is such that you get a collection of complete beginners who really aren't sure how this running thing works. Tonight, a member of the group who shall

It's been years since I've received a traffic ticket, but I got one this morning. I was driving a stretch of road with a speed limit of 40km and I got caught going 16km over. Here's what ticks me off. The copper tells me if I go to court I
Last night we ran for four minutes and walked for one minute. We did this for about 3km. By the end I was feeling great and could have easily ran a couple of additional reps. I think I've discovered the trick to this running thing. You have to sing. It's
My friends and family often joke that I'm on the Google payroll because of how often I sing their praises. That might be changing. All day I've been limited in Gmail. I get messages, but I can't send attachments or open attachments. If I attempt to do so I get
The draft is done. Newcomer Alvin got the first pick overall and picked Daniel Briere from the Buffalo Sabres. I drafted third and found myself picking Devils. You can follow the action daily at http://www.torontomike.com/2007hockeypool.html. Head on over there to how it all unfolded tonight.
In the past, I've written twice about Vimy Ridge. Today, on the 90th anniversary of this victory, I'd like to re-post both entries. On December 14, 2002, I wrote the following. If Vimy Ridge was an American success story, Hollywood would be churning out big budget epics on the subject
Tonight we're drafting our playoff pool teams and I need a better strategy. I've never won, despite having competed every year for over a decade. Well, every year there was a playoffs, anyway. Which teams should I bank on this year? I always end up loading up on players from
We won't dwell on the obvious. Yes, it was close. Yes, John Madden's goal at 19:59 of the third to tie things up was unbelievable. Yes, Sergei Brylin's pathetic attempt to force another round of shooters in the shootout will not soon be forgotten. In the end, we finished
Johnny Hart was 76. He was the creator of the comic strip B.C. and co-creator of the strip The Wizard of Id.
