I just glanced at Pew Internet's Generations 2010 report. It looks at online trends by different age groups, and it looks like blogging is on the decline. Few of the activities covered in this report have decreased in popularity for any age group, with the notable exception of blogging. Only

Back in February, I wrote about how I met Il Duce.  Il Duce has been breaking my balls in the comments of this site for years.  If you revisit that entry, you'll see how this all started on Humble Howard's old blog and how he read aloud Il Duce's trashing

It was eight years ago yesterday that I changed my personal home page into a blog.  In the world of blogging, eight years is actually pretty impressive, if I do say so myself. The vast majority of your favourite blogs started well after November 30, 2002. The Tale of the

I was just reading The Villager.  The Villager is a local paper that serves the Bloor West Village, Junction, Roncesvalles and St. Clair neighbourhoods of Toronto.  The front page had an article about the primary school I used to attend, so I read on with great interest. Since the beginning

It's time to roll back the clocks an hour.  This bi-yearly time-change task only gets easier and easier. Back in the day we had to change every single clock. There was pretty much one in every room, not to mention watches and the car.  It was a pretty big deal,

It's October 31.  Time to dig out my old school goalie mask à la Friday the 13th's Jason. At least I'm consistent...

This short film is about a piece of footage George Clarke found behind the scenes in Charlie Chaplin's film The Circus. Attending the premiere at Mann's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, CA,  the scene shows a large woman dressed in black with a hat hiding most of her face, with what

I love Venn diagrams.  Here's a helpful Venn diagram on the internet vs. privacy. [via We Love Datavis]

Less than two years ago, I picked up a Bose SoundDock II digital music system.  It's how I play my music at home.  I pop on my iPod and it sounds great. At least it sounded great.  All of a sudden, it stopped making a peep.  There no audio, and

My pal Humble has asked a question on Facebook and Twitter today.  He wants to know what we hate that everybody else loves. His answer is Betty White, Champagne and Pink Floyd.  I'm going with Julia Roberts, Jackass, the Dave Matthews Band, Glee and MMA. How about you?  What are

I work in marketing.  Periodically, there will be an event to promote, and someone will always suggest a graphic for the email signature. I always hate the idea.  Why bog down an email with an image that will often be stripped? The Oatmeal has a very funny piece on email

I was the foreman for a jury that just reached a verdict at the Supreme Court of Canada Ontario Superior Court of Justice.  We deliberated for five hours yesterday before I read aloud our decision at the 361 University courthouse. I've decided not to write about the actual case, primarily

As foreman of the jury, I read the verdict this afternoon.  The last two weeks have been completely draining so I'm just going to decompress for a bit and then we'll return to our regularly scheduled blogging. Let's see... we have to talk about jury duty, Bautista's 50th, the 2010/

I passed this heart tied to a fence in my neighbourhood.  There was a reply from the homeowner via post-it note.  I thought the exchange was pretty cool so I snapped a pic. A random act of heartshare in the city...

I was summoned to Jury Duty this morning.  Here's what happened to me on this crazy day. I had to be there for 8:30am.  I was in line at 361 University Ave emptying my pockets and passing through the metal detector at 8:25.  While inside, hundreds of us

I've been summoned to jury duty.  Tomorrow morning, at 8:30, I have to show up at 361 University Ave., Room 167.  I'm told it's my civic duty. I know where I'm supposed to be at 8:30 tomorrow, but not much else.  I have no idea when I'll be

The other morning I was listening to Humble on Boom and he did this "impossible question" bit.  The crux was that most people hit the snooze button three times a morning. I've never in my entire life hit the snooze button.  In fact, for the past few years, I haven't

I just have one question... What the hell happened to August?

For all of my adult life, I've showered with the radio on.  When I moved out at the age of 21, one of the first things I bought was a shower radio.  I think I'm on my third shower radio, pretty good for a 15-year stretch. The picture below was

I caught The Stills tonight at the Boiler House at The Distillery District.  We're talking VIP front-of-the-stage stuff, as well as cocktails and grub and the whole nine yards during a beautiful night in the city. It was a super fun night and I've got to thank the gang at

Dog days of summer and all, I've got nothing to say. Consider this an open thread.  What's on your mind?  What do you want to talk about?

This ain't funny, so don't ya dare laugh. Don't even chuckle....

I just realized that all ducks are actually wearing dog masks. Whoa.

Telus is introducing a spokesperson they call Pat Prefontaine.  Pat's a lot like the Old Spice guy, Isaiah Mustafa, only not as charming.  Telus would absolutely love it if you visited Pat Prefontaine at http://patprefontaine.com/. Nice try, Telus, but if you're going to rip off the hot marketing
