The headline of today's Toronto Sun is "THAT KINDA DAY", but it's the picture of Rob Ford that makes it sing. Kinda funny, if you ask me. [via Newseum]

The other day I posted an image comparing an American $100 bill and a Canadian $100 bill. It seems to have ruffled a few feathers. When it comes to God (or Yahweh, El, Allah, etc.), you typically get a passionate response. Those who believe, believe so fully you simply can't
I remember Maple Leaf playoff hockey. Here's my entry following our last playoff game on May 4, 2004. At a quick glance, 2004 might not seem like that long ago, so I'd like to offer you some perspective. This is my daughter. Soon, she'll turn 8-years old. She was born
I took my daughter to the opening night of Shrek the Musical last night at the Toronto Centre for the Arts. She's seven, and she loved every minute of it. Heck, I should have had her write this review, because I'm not sure it matters what I thought. From an
The Jays are 13-4 this spring. That's awesome, but we know better than to get our hopes up based on a good Grapefruit League record. Still, it's fun to dream of a return to the playoffs for the first time since '93. This Blue Jays fever is the perfect segue
It's the vernal equinox, people! If your Latin skills are rusty, today is the first day of spring. I can't think of a better way to celebrate than by spinning that CanCon classic "The First Day of Spring" by The Gandharvas.
BC just left this comment on my The Weather entry. I cant be leave you haven't posted this yet Mike. Its Josie Dye trying to sing O'Canada at the Toronto Rock game the other night. How is she still at the Edge again? LOLIt seems the Toronto Rock played the
I monitor Toronto weather via gCast, a simple little Chrome extension. Here's what it looks like right now: 26°, 25°, 31°, 25°... those numbers are absolutely sick for March. I took last week off to enjoy March Break with the kids, and we were out playing catch every day. I
I just had one of those 9/11 conspiracy documentaries playing in the background while I worked. It mentions National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice's statement that "No one could have predicted that they would try to use an airplane as a missile.". That reminded me of The Lone Gunmen's pilot.
There's a clear different between the American and Canadian $100 bill. Advantage: Canada.
In the wee hours of this St. Patrick's Day morning, the High Park wooden playground burned. The fire was set on purpose. That's right, arson burned this castle to the ground. When my kids were younger, they loved that playground. Here's a photo I took during the summer of 2007.
Happy St. Patrick's Day! Here are 50 songs from my collection with the word 'green' in the title. Bein' Green - Kermit the FrogBig Green Country - Neil YoungBitter Green - Gordon LightfootBlue In Green - Miles DavisDon't Let The Green Grass Fool You - Wilson PickettDr. Greenthumb - Cypress

Former Google engineer James Whittaker as written an interesting blog entry about why he left Google to return to Microsoft. The Google I was passionate about was a technology company that empowered its employees to innovate. The Google I left was an advertising company with a single corporate-mandated focus.Under
Folks, I need some help. I'm looking for an MP3 of the Blue Jays version of Terry Cashman's "Talkin' Baseball". It's a glaring omission from http://www.torontomike.com/blue_jays_songs/ for one reason and one reason only. I don't have it! If anyone out there does, please contact
When speaking French, Prime Minister Stephen Harper likes to pronounce "election" as "erection".
I'm conflicted. Two Undefeated documentaries are calling my name. Both look great, but I only have time to watch one... Do I watch this Undefeated? "A documentary that follows the Manassas Tigers football team, a severely underfunded and underprivileged football team -- who were even hired out as a practice
Let's finish last.
I spent the afternoon at Redfish studios for the recording of Humble and Fred's 100th podcast and a little celebration afterwards. It's hard to believe the guys have 100 shows in the can already. I first teased this little experiment on August 4th, 2011 and sat down with Humble and
On the heels of our great discussion about computer operating systems, I want to know what OS is running on your smart phone. I have a Samsung Galaxy S II running Android. I've had it for about six months after years of using a Blackberry. I love my Android, but
I have a work-issued MacBook Pro running OS X, a laptop running Windows 7 and a desktop running Ubuntu 11.10. That makes me lucky enough to have the big three operating systems at my fingertips. I work from home, and the bulk of my work is done on the
About five years ago, I wondered which 15 albums I would own if I could only own 15 albums. The first album on that list was Alice in Chains' Dirt. What can I say about Dirt? If it's okay with you, I'd like to steal from myself again. Here's what
I still remember taking my son James to his first Jays game. That was way back in 2004 and Gabe Gross hit a grand slam, Russ Adams hit his first career home run and Carlos Delgado went deep in a 12-5 victory. Brian Burke sat two rows ahead of us
It's the March Break. That likely doesn't mean anything to you unless you have kids in primary school. Here in Tank Nation all the buzz is about robo calls, Kony, Sid and Rob Ford's Cut the Waist challenge. Just kidding about that last one... What's on your mind?
Earlier today, tweets were flying around linking to this video of a fight that broke out in the Rogers Centre stands last night during the TFC match. Yes, one of the guys taking a licking looks like me, but I'd like my friends and loved ones to know it's not
