At about 18:55 EDT yesterday, I hit Rogers.com and forked over $2.49 to get Leafs TV. I then wrote this entry and made my way to the television with the digital receiver to see if channel 414 had been activated yet. Mere seconds before the puck dropped,

All week long I've been ticked off that tonight's Leafs game was only on Leafs TV which is only available to subscribers. After dinner tonight I started to feel the shakes like a drug addict in need of his fix. In a great moment of weakness, I ordered Leafs TV.

I don't watch or follow soccer unless it's the World Cup. With Canada unable to qualify, I've adopted Ireland as my team to root for. During World Cup action I'm more than a descendant, I'm the prodigal son. A draw against Switzerland the other day means The Republic of Ireland

Earlier in the month, I wrote about the six shows I watch. Based on a number of positive reviews and a premise I dig, I decided to take the plunge and watch a new series last night. I tuned into "Weeds", airing on Showcase here in Canada. I really liked

It's been about seventeen months now since I installed the Audioscrobbler plug-in to track the tunes I play on my computer. This thing operates so far under the radar I totally forgot about it. My personal Last.fm page has been keeping track of every song I've played since then
Sorry ladies but Steve is spoken for. My little brother is getting hitched. I first heard this news on Saturday but it barely registered. Steve and Vanessa have been living in sin for so long it was as if they were already married. Now they'll just have a piece of

The Leafs win a game! The Leafs win a game! With Eddie Belfour taking a breather, Mikael Tellqvist shone bright in his first game of the season. I sense a changing of the guards here. Belfour has looked awfully regular those first three games and Telly was standing on his
We in Toronto like to complain about the fact we haven't brought the Stanley Cup home where it belongs since 1967. Many of us weren't alive back then and this drought feels like an eternity. We forget that some die hard fans have it even harder. Tonight, the Chicago White

The earthquake that hit South Asia on Saturday may kill 35,000 people. As horribly as I feel for these victims, I haven't shed a single tear for them. Taryn has. I didn't cry for the victims of the recent natural disasters in Louisiana or Southeast Asia either. It's not
After three games, a frightening trend has developed. In every game the Leafs owned a third period lead before getting caught from behind. Last night, we scored three unanswered goals in the third to overcome a two goal deficit before Jason Spezza's goal tied it up and sent it into
We all know Kim Phuc from when she was a nine year old girl. This is her fleeing in terror an American attack in her Viet Nam neighbourhood. It's one of the more memorable images from that conflict. Today, Kim Phuc lives down the 401 in Ajax, Ontario. For those
