I used to share video clips on a fairly regular basis, but once I got a digital camera I pretty much left my video page to collect dust. I just used Google Video to share clips of James dancing to "Lisa It's Your Birthday" so I figured I'd share a
When Roshan wrote about his tearful experience while enjoying the Simpsons episode "Stark Raving Dad", he mentioned the Michael Jackson penned song "Lisa It's Your Birthday". That reminded me of the days Sweet Baby James would dance like crazy to that tune and I threatened to resurrect a video or
We hit 13°C in the T.Dot today. When our snowman of December 10 melted over the Christmas break, I promised James we'd make another. A Canadian winter has to be good for a heavy snowfall or two or three in January and February, right? Not this year... It's

It hasn't been a very memorable season for our Toronto Raptors, but we've still managed to play ourselves into the positive side of the record book. Morris Peterson's 3-pointer late in the first quarter yesterday set an NBA record for most consecutive games with at least one 3-point field goal.
TVO KIds Shows - When I was Googling away to learn more about Jeremy I came across this great tribute to TVOntario kids shows of the 1970s. I remember so many of these, particularly "Fables of the Green Forest", "Readalong", "Barbapapa" and "Read All About It". Memories...
Thinking about watching "Star Wars" in the late 70s and early 80s triggered another memory that had been supressed for some time. I've suddenly remembered Jeremy, the star of a stop-motion animated television show I used to watch on TVOntario. I was super young when I used to watch Jeremy,
James is absolutely obsessed with all things Star Wars. As I type this, he's watching Episode IV for the billionth time this month. He's full of questions, and all are about Star Wars characters and their galaxy. He's always handing me my light saber and challenging me to a battle.
It's been over two years since I celebrated the return of Tony Soprano. In that entry, I had the audacity to complain that it had been over a full year since I last saw a new episode of "The Sopranos". In July of 2004, I got the bad news. HBO

The Ben Ondrus era in Toronto is off to a wicked start as the Leafs have picked up five of a possible six points with him in the lineup. Jason Allison was the offensive hero, scoring twice and adding an assist in the big win in front of the Hanson

I've posted four new pictures in Pictures. A couple are from today's walk to Etienne Brule park and a couple are from last weekend.
It's been about a year since we re-launched Custom's official site and some felt there was a little too much white space. The clean layout with plenty of white space was actually there by design, web 2.0 and all, but after a year it was probably time to mix
Bernard "Boom Boom" Geoffrion was 75. He scored 371 goals in 14 seasons with the Montreal Canadiens in the 1950s and 1960s and another 22 goals in a two-year comeback with the New York Rangers from 1966 to 1968 before being named to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1972.
Our point streak with Ben Ondrus in the lineup has hit an astounding two games. It's difficult to believe we still have the fourth best powerplay in the league. We failed to capitalize on a two man advantage that lasted 1:36 and we went 1-7 with on the PP.

For eight years I've been fascinated with the Canadian Tire Guy and now he's gone. Canadian Tire has dropped the Canadian Tire Guy and his wife from their ads which means I won't be seeing his smiling face during Hockey Night in Canada anymore. Everyone I know found Ted Simonett's
Just Cover Video - Ths is a video for a cover of Radiohead's "Just." "For his cover Mark Ronson not only enlisted the help of the formidable Daptones horn section (The Dap Kings) but Alex Greenwald, the lead singer of Phantom Planet." You might want to cut out the middle
