I made a point of watching The Way The Music Died, a PBS Frontline documentary that aired last night. They made a big deal about the perfect storm that is killing the quality of new music. I was intrigued by their analysis of the big six occurrences that created this
Like two prize fighters exchanging jabs, both Alexi and Marc led the way last night with three points a piece in our 2004 playoff pool. Marc maintains his slim three point lead but with the finals tied at two, there are many games left to play. For the current standings
Yahoo! Anti-Spy I believe in giving credit where credit is due. I've long been a fan of Yahoo!. I've had an email account with them since 1995 and I use their Instant Messenger and tool bar companion. Today, they unvieled Yahoo! Anti-Spy which is integrated with their new Yahoo! Toolbar.
Mikael Renberg has signed a three-year deal with Lulea of the Swedish Elite League thus ending his career as a Toronto Maple Leaf. Renberg spent three seasons in Toronto, scoring 40 goals and 112 points. My expectations for him after we traded for him were pretty high. Needless to say

Who wasn't at some point a fan of Archie Comics? I ate them up like candies as a kid but I eventually outgrew their predictable and silly plot lines. My brother Ryan, on the other hand, still reads and enjoys his old Archie Comics and he's closer to 30 than

Today, people are putting together massive mixes for their iPod or other MP3 players. When I was in grade school, we were all about the Sony Walkman. We'd dub mixes on a cassette tape. That's right kids, a cassette tape. Here's a picture of one if you don't know what
O Canada! Calgary is three wins away from bringing the Stanley Cup back home where it belongs. Only three of us in our 2004 playoff pool recorded points last night and they were the first three who selected players in our early April draft. Coincidence? Probably. For the current standings
It was a rough night for us members of Raging Storm. A listless offence and poor defense added up to a brutal loss in our second game of the season. We're now a mediocre 1-1. A visit to the Raging Storm homepage will show you I went 2 for 3
I stumbled upon an excellent collection of Family Guy Quotes. You can browse by character, episode or theme. Here's one of 274 gems. Chris: Dad, what's the blow-hole for? Peter: I'll tell you what it's not for, son. And when I do, you'll understand why I can never go back

I've been using the Audioscrobbler plug-in for Winamp for about three weeks now. Feel free to check out my Audioscrobbler page to see what I've been listening to. This thing is great. It works so deep under the covers I don't even realize it's doing it's thing. For fun, here
Affectionately known by Canadians as The May 2-4 Weekend, today is Victoria Day, a statutory holiday in this country. On a weekend when many head North to the cottage or camping and others look forward to fireworks it once again rained cats and dogs. It always rains cats and dogs

The conclusion of The Simpsons was a satirical commentary on blogging. Although they never mentioned blogging or even the world wide web for that matter, there was no doubt who they were talking about. Below is the transcript. Lisa: [Picks up paper from doorstep] The Homer Times? Homer (voiceover): All

I recently introduced James to Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody". I remember my brothers and I having a great time singing along to this epic even before Wayne's World introduced it to a new generation. James and I holler along to the operatic part and bob our heads in unison. It's very
Early on Saturday afternoon I found myself with a little time to kill while James napped. I started channel surfing the Ottawa dial and I found something I had never seen in Toronto. I found an episode of The Simpsons in French on one of the many French stations in
We just got back from Ottawa. Taryn's Grandmother had an eightieth birthday party so we made the long road trip east for the occasion. The birthday party was held in a restaurant in the Chateau Laurier Hotel, way too swanky an establishment for my liking. I would have held it

I was rooting heavily for Tampa Bay, so I was quite pleased when they defeated the Flyers tonight and CBC took that annual lingering shot of an unhappy Bob Clarke in the press box. Five participants are left without a player in our 2004 playoff pool, including Ryan who led
