The Argos take on the Stampeders tonight in the 100th Grey Cup. I know I'll be watching as the Boatmen go for their 16th championship, 4th overall in North American professional sports. Even if you haven't watched a single CFL game all season, I hope you watch tonight. This is

Entering 2012, there were three acts on my "must see live" wishlist: Public Enemy, Neil Young and Nirvana. I caught Public Enemy at an absolutely amazing show in September, and tonight I'll see Neil Young at the ACC. I can't wait to see the living legend I've admired forever live.

I took the kids to the 2012 Santa Claus Parade today. It was my ninth parade in a row, and the kids had a blast, but when I arrived at my usual spot at 10:30am, I received an unexpected surprise... We usually set up camp early just North of
I'm still riding the high from Tuesday's trade with the Miami "Don't Call Us Florida" Marlins. In that deal, we added Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle, Jose Reyes, John Buck and Emilio Bonifacio. Now there's word Alex Anthopoulos has signed free agent Melky Cabrera. Yes, Melky Cabrera was suspended by MLB

My maternal grandmother turns 97 today. She no longer recognizes me, nor knows where the heck she is, but she doesn't seem to be in pain and is still very much alive. Meanwhile, my paternal grandmother recently turned 101. She still has her wits about her. When people find out
They're spotting robots everywhere. There are more videos at http://brilliantmach.tumblr.com and on Twitter if you search for the hashtag #brilliantmachines. Am I crazy, or is there a simple explanation of all this? The Omnibot 2000 lives!
I don't love Facebook, but acknowledge it's important to be there. Whenever I flirt with the idea of deleting my Facebook account I remember that's the main way I now keep in touch with friends and family. When a friend gives birth, I'll learn about it and see the pictures

I unplugged for a couple of hours to record a couple of podcasts this afternoon, and when I finally checked my phone I had messages from family and friends about the Toronto Blue Jays. Jays excitement in November? What the hell did I miss? Plenty, it seems. Coming to Toronto
This past Saturday, I found myself in Sherway Gardens. For the initiated, Sherway Gardens is the go-to South Etobicoke mall, located at the junction of Hwy. 427 and the QEW. I wasn't there to shop, I was there to walk and rewarded myself with a McDonald's coffee. As I walked,
This past weekend, Humble and Fred had an issue with iTunes indexing their XML file. While trouble shooting, I realized there's not really a convenient place outside of iTunes for someone to access all 252 unique episodes. With the guys taking the week off, I thought it might be a
I bought a new television about 18 months ago from LG. I'm not loyal to LG by any means, but it had the right specs, was the right price and so far, so good. Once you see the LG logo morph into Pac-Man, you cannot unsee it. Continue reading, if
