It's official! SLS11 is in the can. SLS, of course, represents the finest 80 minutes of rock from the previous six months. Here are the tunes that made the final cut. These songs, without a pause between the tracks, equal exactly 79:42. Franz Ferdinand - Take Me OutModest Mouse
Internet Explorer users, there's an article you should read. Are the Browser Wars Back? by Paul Boutin appeared yesterday on Slate, a website owned by Microsoft. The author does an excellent job of explaining why Firefox 0.9 is the superior browser and why you should switch as soon as
Cassini has become the first space craft to enter Saturn's orbit. The images of Saturn now arriving are stunning. You've got to check out this gallery from NASA. This picture in particular blew my mind. What an age we live in.
I've posted four new pictures on the Pictures page. In honour of Canada Day, I even included a shot I took the other day of some Canadian Geese. Visit Pictures now to check them out.
Happy Birthday, Canada, you're 137 years young today. I just read an interesting article by Matthew Mernagh. Below is an excerpt. Only in Canada would burlesque dancers from Romania be granted work visas to take it off here. A few hundred no less! Apparently there is a stripper shortage, which
The Toronto Maple Leafs have re-signed goaltender Ed Belfour and forwards Joe Nieuwendyk and Gary Roberts. I consider these three to be a very important part of the Leafs nucleus. Losing any of these three, particularly Ed Belfour, would have been a step in the wrong direction. Adding some speed
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 target as..." so you can download it to your PC before playing. The Tragically Hip - Bobcaygeon In honour of Canada Day and The Tragically
Taryn is really pregnant. I mean, she's bursting at the seams in her eighth month and it's getting tougher and tougher for her to look after her flock. As a result, I've been trying to prepare more meals for us three. Basically, that means we have much more BBQ than
Stop the presses! It's only June 30th and already a third movie has snuck into my "must see" pile in 2004. Kill Bill: Volume 2 was the first movie I made an effort to see and Fahrenheit 9/11 was the second. Now, Spider-Man 2 has got my spidey senses
Fahrenheit 9/11 Transcript Part 1, Fahrenheit 9/11 Transcript Part 2 - There was so much to absorb during Fahrenheit 9/11, I was thinking I might have to see it again. With the aid of these transcripts, that's no longer necessary. If you won't see this documentary, please
It's the eve of The Tragically Hip concert at the Molson Amphitheatre. I last saw the Hip in concert back on September 6, 2003. Prior to that, I saw them on December 30, 2002, October 16, 2002, August 1, 2002, December 23, 2000 and December 31, 1999. I can't wait
The DB Bistro Moderne in Manhattan will sell you a hamburger, but it'll cost you. The double truffle version will set you back $99 USD. Of course, the idea of a hamburger that sets you back over a hundred dollars is absurd, but isn't that the point? The only reason
SportsNet.ca is reporting that the Leafs and goaltender Ed Belfour have broken off contract talks. The 39-year-old Belfour becomes an unrestricted free agent, and according to the report, is ready to test the market. This is not good. The Leafs need a dominant goaltender. Belfour is the primary reason
Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following submission earlier today. I just want to thank my fellow Canadians for making a wise choice last night. It is nice to know that I still live in a country that reflects my morals
It looks like Paul Martin's Liberals are headed for a minority government tonight. A surprisingly strong showing in Ontario and Atlantic Canada has kept the Grits in power. As I said, it was all up to us and we did the right thing. Phew! That was too close for comfort.
We in Raging Storm defeated Attack tonight to win the season series two games to one. The big bats came out to win this one for the good guys. Following Greg's clutch two out two run homer that brought me in late in the game, I told him he was
Every Monday I shuffle my entire MP3 collection in Winamp and list the first ten songs that play. Here are the ten I heard today. The Tragically Hip - The LuxuryDas EFX - Mic CheckaB. B. King - Three O'Clock BluesCypress Hill - Break It UpLimp Bizkit - Creamer (Radio
When you don't vote, you let others speak for you. We are fortunate to have fair and democratic methods in place for the selecting of political representation. To not take part in the process or to feel like our opinion doesn't matter, would be to waste the incredible power that
I've finally given Internet Explorer the boot. I installed Firefox 0.9 and gave it a good work out to see if it fit and it does. It's Firefox 0.9 only for me now. What I like best about Firefox 0.9, besides the convenient tabbing and security, is
I've just returned from seeing Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11". Michael Moore has an opinion, but he backs up everything he believes with compelling facts. It would be easy to say I loved this documentary because it validated much of what I've already suspected, but that wouldn't be doing this

Paul's Boutique Samples and References List - I'm a fan of the Beastie Boys and particularly their 1989 effort Paul's Boutique. This is the ultimate resource for Paul's Boutique and it stands to document the samples and references included on the album. If you enjoy Paul's Boutique, you'll love this
I warned you that I'd be posting more pictures now that I'm the proud owner of a digital camera. I posted a couple from last night earlier today and now I've posted eight more from a little BBQ we had at the house this afternoon. Visit Pictures now to check
Once again the guy who doesn't watch soccer and barely cares about Euro 2004 has got his good eye on the scoreboard. Sweden and The Netherlands are currently tied at zero. The reason I'm watching the scoreboard is because I have a slight rooting interest in one of the teams
