The Weather Man: 6.5 out of 10. Some will tell you "The Weather Man" is a deep, introspective look at a man's struggle with striking a balance between professional and personal success. Taryn, for example, totally dug it. I, however, found it somewhat lacking and kind of depressing. The
Hoodwinked: 6 out of 10. I think I awarded bonus points to "Hoodwinked" for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the wolf is voiced by Patrick Warburton, who's always fun to listen to. Secondly, Michelle and I watched this together and when your two year old is entertained, everything seems better
On July 3rd, I decided to list and link to my favourite clips on YouTube. Three months later, many of the clips I linked to have been removed. This is the problem with YouTube, the best clips are posted without consent from the copyright holder. The National Film Board of
As reported by the Los Angeles Times, Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte and Miguel Tejada were among the players that a former major league pitcher accused of using performance-enhancing drugs. It's just an allegation, but it's yet another one regarding the Rocket. I believe Rocket Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds to

Watching the first two periods of tonight's hockey game between the Leafs and Red Wings I kept having the same recurring thought. Why is Nik Antropov still on this team? He's done absolutely nothing this preseason to justify his existence. He's been invisible again tonight, getting less than seven minutes
As noted in this riveting entry on humblehoward.com, I spent much of the day visiting Humble Howard Glassman at his palatial Oakville estate. I'm now able to deliver The Humble Report. The dude's fully domesticated. His puppy graduated from kindergarten this morning (not a joke), he makes a mean
Last night I got that itch again. You know that itch you get when your blog has had the same look for months and months? I got it last night and by the time I logged off at 10pm my site looked like this. I'm still tweaking it, but so

Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following entry earlier today. Today I celebrated my grandmother's 100th Birthday at her nursing home in Ajax. Two of her 3 sons are still alive & I went for my Dad who passed away in
"In View", the latest single from The Tragically Hip from their upcoming release World Container, has been available for a month now. I've heard it dozens of times and I've had discussions about it with other Hip fans. We've reached a consensus. It's good! It's damn catchy and bounces around
Let's talk design for a moment, if that's okay. Did you know there's a Canadian Design Resource? Neither did I until I learned about it earlier today. It's a neat collection of Canadian designs and definitely worth a visit. Here are a few of my favourites. The CSA logo we

I've watched quite a bit of the Leafs preseason thus far, and I'd like to see Aleksander Suglobov make the club. Critics will tell you he doesn't play defense and therefore doesn't deserve a roster spot. Others will tell you he passes as often as Sergei Berezin did, which was
My iRiver H10 gets me to and from work every day. On road trips, it's plugged into my FM transmitter providing the tunes. It's great, but I have one issue with it. The battery life remaining is measured by three bars. For hours and hours and hours all three bars
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. Hayden - In September It's hard to believe September
There's a 25 Signs That, Sadly, You've Grown Up list making the rounds, and it's pretty spot on. I recently started pro-creating and I've since left my 20s behind for good and this list is a staunch reminder that aging only goes in one direction. Here's the list and my
There are a few sports stories floating about that have everybody chatty by their water coolers. These stories have a lot of meat on them and are being addressed all over the place, but I surprisingly have little to say about any of 'em. These big three stories are... Tie
Iva Toguri D'Aquino was 90. She was accused of being "Tokyo Rose" who helped the Japanese propaganda effort during the Second World War by making anti-American radio broadcasts.
Later this week, the Mr. Sub at Bedford and Bloor will be closed for good. Soon thereafter, that wrap place will close as will that booster juice place. The Harveys and Swiss Chalet across the street from Varsity Stadium have already shut their doors. Why is this happening? This is
Byron Nelson was 94. He was golf's elegant "Lord Byron" whose 11 straight tournament victories in 1945 stand as one of sports' most enduring records.
This morning, at 10am sharp, tickets went on sale for a series of club shows featuring The Tragically Hip. The shows are at The Phoenix, my old stomping grounds. As a Hip club member, I was given the head's up but things don't always unravel according to plan. I simply
Don't look now, but the Blue Jays have passed the Red Sox and sit alone in second place in the AL East. We still won't make the playoffs, but we might not have to settle for third once more. We've been third behind the Yankees and Red Sox more times
Etta Baker was 93. She was a blues guitarist from North Carolina who influenced generations of musicians, from 1960s folkies to modern-day blues rockers.
