Every Monday I shuffle my entire MP3 collection in the Quintessential Player and list the first ten songs that play. Here are the ten tunes I heard today. Bush - FloatThe Strokes - You Talk Way Too MuchThe Pretenders - Watching The ClothesBob Dylan - Like A Rolling StoneDJ Danger
John D'Amico was 67. He was a Hall of Fame hockey linesman who officiated close to 2,000 career NHL games.
While in university, before starting my first full-time job, I was a power TTC user. There were two ways to get where I was going, my bike and the TTC. When it came to the subway, I knew exactly where to get on so that it aligned with the exit
I read "For Better Or For Worse" every day. A little while ago, the United Media site that hosts this comic started using annoying mutant popups that manage to outwit Firefox's popup blocker. I hadn't seen a popup since I switched to Firefox a year ago and this new breed
I've posted four new pictures in Pictures. I actually brought out the special effects for two of them, so you don't want to miss these.
I've added a whole bunch of new CDs to my MP3 collection. Some brand new, some a little older. The first three listed rank amongst the best albums I've ever heard. System of a Down - MezmerizeArcade Fire - FuneralThe Mars Volta - Frances the MuteBeck - GueroWeezer - Make

The Stepford Wives: 3 out of 10. "The Stepford Wives" is shockingly bad. I had low expectations when Taryn said she wanted to check it out last night, but I wasn't expecting this. It's just 93 minutes of unfunny, uninteresting boredom. It's garbage. I don't understand how such big names
"I can resist everything except temptation." - Oscar Wilde
Saved!: 5.5 out of 10. I enjoyed the first thirty minutes of this flick. It was a fairly likable send up of those ultra Christian communities out there. You know the WWJD - Dubya voting - left behind - holier than thou people that are begging to be satired
The Pearl Jam pre-sale was a disaster, but the general sale this morning worked out fine. I've secured tickets for Pearl Jam as an "in case of emergency" backup plan. You see, I'm hoping I never have to use this ticket. I've got a Kramer-esque scheme in place that, if
"You can't go wrong with cocktail weenies. They look as good as they taste. And they come in this delicious red sauce. It looks like ketchup, it tastes like ketchup, but brother, it ain't ketchup!"

Eddie Albert was 99. He was an actor best known as the constantly befuddled city slicker-turned-farmer in television's "Green Acres".
Domenic Troiano was 59. His unparalleled guitar playing talent led him to replace Robbie Robertson as the lead guitarist for Ronnie Hawkins and Randy Bachman in The Guess Who in the mid '70s.
"Cinderalla Man" hits theatres next Tuesday. Seeing the ads on TV takes me back to the wee hours of the morning of July 29, 2004. It's difficult to effectively communicate that natural high you have at 3:00 in the morning when you're driving home along Bay Street after watching
Remember when I told you Gwen Stefani's "What U Waiting For?" was essentially a reworking of Weezer's "Hash Pipe"? You probably chuckled to yourself, shook your head and muttered "that Mike, always thinking songs sound alike". My extensive analysis has been validated! I present to you, for your benefit, a
Pearl Jam tickets were available to Inside Edge members at 10:00 this morning. I'm an Inside Edge member, and I was ready at 09:58 to secure the presale password and hit Ticketmaster.ca to score tix to their September show at the ACC. As you may know, I'm
It truly is an honour finding my name on the Blogebrity list. You'll find me and a link to this site in the "C-List" column. C-List?!?! The A-List has guys like Zach Braff and Wil Wheaton, so I'm thinking I'm at least a B-List blogger, at least in Canada, right?
EliteTorrents.org offered "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith" to downloaders last Thursday via BitTorrent. Within 24 hours, more than 10,000 copies were nabbed. Today, federal agents took over the site, as you can see. If U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement hadn't owned up to it,
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. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan with Eddie Vedder - The
Quentin Tarantino once said the sign of a good movie was that it made you want to go home, eat some pie and talk about it. Without a doubt, my favourite movies have been those rare flicks that have never left me. These gems become a part of me, altering
Tonight, we in Raging Storm won easily with solid defense and early offense. We're off to a tidy 3-0 start to the season and there's not much to complain about.
They're voting in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Newfoundland today. The byelection will determine a successor to MP Lawrence O'Brien who passed away late last year. We've all seen the numbers. We were on the edge of our seats recently watching The Thrilla on Parliament Hilla. The entire balance of power depends
It wasn't that long ago that 92.9 WBUF out of Buffalo was on my short list of stations that played rock music. Their tagline was Buffalo's Rock Station and as mentioned here, it was my station for Howard Stern in the mornings and pure rock thereafter. Suddenly, late last
