In the absence of NHL hockey and my Toronto Maple Leafs, I've been recapping St. John's Maple Leaf AHL action all season. We're well past the mid-way point now, yet I've never written about Carlo Colaiacovo, our great blue line prospect. He's had a rather quiet season, battling to stay
I just submitted a song via the Smells Like Sour website for SLS13 consideration. I submitted "E-Pro" by Beck, the first single of his new album Guero. It's a very Beck-ish song and that's a good thing. I get an Odelay feel from it and I'm digging the Beastie Boys
I just saw an amazing picture of my Toronto on Flickr. Squiggle, who uploaded the pic, calls it "a composite of downtown Toronto, Centre Island and Lake Ontario, put together from photos taken from the CN Tower skypod, 443 m above the ground." It's truly awesome. You should have a
Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following submission earlier today. How is it that Green Day's Holiday has 101 comments? Is it that controversial? And...how did Good Charlotte's Emotionless get on there (again!) ? I love SLS but where are all
Superfriends/Office Space mashup - Too damn funny! If you're a fellow fan of Office Space and fondly remember the Superfriends cartoon as I do, you'll love this mashup. This might be the funniest thing I've seen this year.

Yahoo! turns ten years old today. In honour of the occasion, they've put together a very cool Netrospective: 10 years, 100 moments of the web. Going to the University of Toronto in the mid-nineties, I remember vividly when we were all given email accounts. We'd line up in the libraries
I love my mom, but she has a problem. She's addicted to storm fear. Every time the weather forecast calls for snow I can expect an email or instant message from her alerting me that the storm of the century is on its way. She starts tuning in the news

Jordan Eberhardt predicted 17 winners last night to beat the other 74 of us in my 2005 Oscar Prediction Contest. To see how you fared, view the final results. I finished with 11 but still did better than most. We'll do it all again next year.
Here in Canada, we get the E! pre-Oscar show on StarTV. This is a two hour program before the telecast begins where you see what the stars are wearing and other shallow stuff like that. Taryn and I have always rather enjoyed this guilty pleasure but this is no longer
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about my sympathy growth. James and I were letting our hair grow until May when we'd go together for his first actual haircut by a professional. Neither of us are going to make it that long. It's getting nasty my friends. Yesterday I

My brother moved today. Because he's the only 28 year old on the planet without a drivers license, I got the call to take care of the truck rental and all that jazz. Brothers help brothers move so I spent most of today fulfilling that obligation. UHaul demands that their
Kraft Foods recently launched fruity-flavored Trolli Road Kill Gummi Candy. They're in the shapes of partly flattened snakes, chickens and squirrels. I think it's a hilarious premise. I'd love eating road kill gummi candy, wouldn't you? The New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals thinks it fosters

Tom Patterson was 84. He was a former magazine journalist and Second World War veteran who founded the internationally acclaimed Stratford Festival more than 50 years ago.
Ryan - One of the films nominated for Best Animated Short Film is "Ryan" from the National Film Board of Canada. I picked it to win but just saw it now for the first time. It's very cool and you can watch it too if you at this link.
James is a big fan of hide and seek. The first thing he wanted to do when I got home today was play a few rounds. He's pretty good at it, but there's one fatal flaw with his strategy. When I'm pretending I can't find him, I often think call
