Sure, the Leafs extended their franchise record for consecutive games registering at least a point to 13, but a tie against the craptacular Capitals is disappointing. This was certainly a game we should have won, even with backup goaltender Trevor Kidd making only his second start of the season and
I just finished installing my new 80 GB hard drive that I'm using strictly for multimedia. My digitalization project consumed over a third of my hard drive so I've made my original 30 GB hard drive the master and added the new slave drive to host my MP3s, pictures and

Keeping up to date with the ongoing battle between P2P downloaders and the RIAA/CRIA is a dizzying practice. Last week there was the high of the Copyright Board of Canada's decision that downloading was legal following by the low of the CRIA's announcement they were going to file lawsuits
Law & Order Colouring Book - If you're a fellow Law & Order fan, you might find this as amusing as I did. It's a Law & Order colouring book some chap put together and it's brilliant. Law & Order fans are ordered to visit and enjoy.
The Golden Globe nominations came out today. I was going to write about this fact and list the nominees for the major awards, but it was a bunch of movies I hadn't seen and a bunch of television shows I don't watch. Sure, there's the odd exception like "Six Feet
It wouldn't be Christmas if we didn't unveil the songs for SLS10. The following songs comprise the best 80 minutes of music from the last six months of 2003 as determined by the Smells Like Sour committee. Queens of the Stone Age - You Think I Ain't Worth A Dollar,
I'm frequently asked if James is looking forward to Christmas. Back in October when I was constantly asked if James was excited about going trick or treating, I set the record straight. I'm going to do the same thing now with James in regards to Christmas 2003. James is well
Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following submission earlier today. I was just checking out your website. Could you find out, or do you know where abouts, or the name of the cemetary Bill Barilko was buried. I am visiting relatives
On Tuesday, the Lou Marsh Trophy was awarded to golfer Mike Weir. For those who aren't familiar with the Lou Marsh Trophy, it is given annually to Canada's outstanding athlete. Mike Weir had a great year. He finished fifth on the PGA Tour money list, won three events and most
Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following submission earlier today. With Christmas upon us once again it is necessary for us to reflect on the year gone by. It is not uncommon to wake up one morning and to learn of
I heard the new Courtney Love song this afternoon. It's called Mono and it's okay, but I prefer the new Courtney Love, Brody Armstrong of The Distillers. My relationship with Courtney Love throughout the years can best be described as tumultuous. When Live Through This from Hole came out, I
I just received a message from my Contact Mike page that I'd like to reply to, but this person who contacted me didn't leave her email address. I'm not sure you want your name printed here, so if you're the person who wrote me this way earlier today (and you
I just read the AFI Movies of the Year Official Selections. I haven't seen a single movie on their list. Has my life deteriorated to this point? Despite my disinterest in "Lord of the Rings", how did I manage to miss all nine of the others on their list? I
I have a confession to make. I don't really dig this whole Lord of the Rings thing. I saw the first movie of the trilogy and found it rather long and boring. Hell, there wasn't even an ending. The experience pissed me off so much that I refused to see
Believe it or not, there is a down side to having arrested Saddam Hussein the other day. This result will inevitably have a positive effect on Dubya's popularity at home. It was just the jolt of integrity he needed to ensure his reelection next November. Of course, with eleven months

With this win the Leafs set a franchise record for consecutive games registering at least a point with twelve. We're also tied for the overall league lead with Philadelphia. The Leafs are kicking ass, it's as simple as that. The line of Mats Sundin, Gary Roberts and Mikael Renberg played
Lets do something crazy. Lets do something radical. Lets be bold. Lets redesign our Canadian money. We've all seen those same faces dozens of times. Quite frankly, I'm getting bored of it. The five dollar bill features Wilfred Laurier, the ten dollar bill features John A. MacDonald, the twenty dollar
Despite last week's ruling from the Copyright Board of Canada, word is the Canadian Recording Industry Association will follow the RIAA's lead and file lawsuits against those who share copyrighted files on the Internet. This report from the Globe and Mail site asks the question we're all wondering. Can a
One of my favourite tournaments in any sport is the World Junior Hockey Championships. Boxing Day isn't Boxing Day without the Canadian Junior team on the tube. It's always a thrilling tournament with an opportunity to watch future stars on the path to NHL glory, or in the case of
Spider-Man 2 Trailer - I've always been a Spider-Man fan. Of all the super heroes, he was my favourite. His story seemed the most interesting...the most relatable. I don't get out to the theatre to catch many movies these days, but I did go and see Spider-Man and I
Have you heard the news? Conan O'Brien is bringing his Late Night talk show to Toronto for a week in February. I have nothing but positive feelings about Conan O'Brien. I knew him first as a writer and producer of some of the funniest Simpsons episodes ever. He wrote Homer
I stumbled across The Champ this morning. The Champ is a radio bit I used to listen to every morning before jetting off to high school. It was part of Brother Jake Edward's Q Morning Zoo on Q107 for years. It's back. Q107 plays The Champ at approximately 7:45
The Copyright Board of Canada has ruled that it's completely legal for Canadians to download MP3s via P2P networks like Kazaa, Grokste or eMule. That's right, in Canada you can download all the tunes you can find completely free of charge and well within the law. The RIAA can't touch
