I've posted four new pictures in Pictures. Two were taken yesterday and the other two were taken earlier today. The few of you who aren't bored by my pictures will be pleased to learn I've gone pro with my Flickr account and am now sharing many more pictures there in

Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following entry earlier today. I guess you must have missed it or did not have chance to post it yet - but my Ottawa Senators just thrashed your Maple Leafs 8-0. EIGHT to NOTHING. SENS

The Hip show I attended last November was filmed for the DVD "That Night in Toronto", which coincidentally was exactly what I named my review of that show. "That Night in Toronto" will be available soon by its lonesome or as part of Hipeponymous. Fellow Hip fans will definitely want
It was warm and sunny all day today, ideal conditions for carving the pumpkin. Once again, James assisted with the design while Michelle offered inspiration. It was tough to follow up last year's gem, but I think we did okay. You can judge for yourself by viewing the following pix.
The headline of the Toronto Sun article reads "Aki, Czerkawski, iffy". That's sensational news!
Monster ModRen 3 - Frankenstein meets DaVinci indeed. Monsters and classic art mashed up just in time for Halloween.
Following the story out of the Kashechewan Reserve this past week has been a painful practice. It seems I'm quick to criticize other nations when there are third world conditions in my own province. The water treatment plant for the Kashechewan Reserve was built on the cheap in 1996, downstream
"Marge, I'm going to miss you so much. And it's not just the sex! It's also the food preparation."
The NBA season tips off Tuesday night and the Toronto Raptors host the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night. In the ten seasons prior I don't recall a Raptor season approaching so quietly and so far under the radar. With the NHL back in full force, no Vince Carter in camp
Earlier today I listed my five favourite Ewan McGregor movies. Someone just advised me that I've already listed my five favourite Ewan McGregor movies. Sure enough, on May 20, 2005 I did just that. This repetition was a complete accident, but it's interesting to note that the list of five

Following the awesome excitement at the conclusion of Tuesday's game, this one was a bit of a let down. Except for the third period against Philadelphia, every game has been extremely exciting but last night the Leafs seemed to lack the necessary oomph to escape with the home-at-home sweep. On
The 1993 Toronto Maple Leafs started the season 10-0. That set a new NHL record that was being threatened by the Nashville Predators this season. Thankfully, the Predators lost to the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-2 last night, ending their eight game winning streak to start this season. The Leafs record
The other day Infinity Broadcasting Corporation's chairman and CEO Joel Hollander hosted a conference call in which he announced who or what would be replacing Howard Stern in the mornings in their 27 markets. I've been listening to Howard Stern since his show first launched on Q107 and when they
Elmer Dresslar, Jr. was 80. He was the voice of the Jolly Green Giant.
There's no doubt which two songs have been James' favourites so far in 2004. Earlier in the year, he was all about "Goodnight, Goodnight" from Hot Hot Heat. He immediately declared it was his song and quickly taught himself many of the lyrics. To this day if I hear it

With Halloween quickly approaching, I was curious to read about Toronto's rich history of paranormal activity. I started Googling various combinations of the words toronto, ghosts, haunted and paranormal. This is how I learned about The Mississauga Blob. On June 16, 1979, a "perfectly" cylindrical, glowing, flaming object fell on
Following the Katrina disaster in New Orleans, a great deal was made about fact The Tragically Hip's "New Orleans is Sinking" was removed from playlists out of respect for those victimized by Katrina's wrath. It was a sensible move and I remember thinking at the time that "A Streetcar Named
I haven't written about Smells Like Sour in quite a while, so it's time for an update. SLS13 was unveiled on Canada Day and SLS14 will be "released" by Christmas which is a mere two months away. It hasn't been a particularly good period of music thus far, but there's
Rosa Parks was 92. When a white man demanded she give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama bus, Rosa Parks said no. This simple decision that sparked a revolution.
This game was an emotional rollercoaster. Up by two after the first period with Ed Belfour playing well, things were looking fantastic. Then, Belfour faltered as the Leafs quickly coughed up the lead. Alexei Ponikarovsky's short handed goal tied it up and we had to overcome a two man disadvantage
