Rathika Sitsabaiesan's Member of Parliament Profile reveals she's an NDP MP for Scarborough-Rouge River. If you click over, you'll see the profile pic on the left. According to Contrarian, Rathika Sitsabaiesan's profile pic was originally the one you see on the right. Can you see the difference?
The Ministry of the Solicitor General and the Ontario Provincial Police, back in 1981, wanted you to use your eyes if you're being robbed. Because they can rob you, but they can't rob you blind. Unless they shoot you in the eye! [via Retrontario}
When I was a kid, I got excited when George Bell hit 26 homers in '84 and then 28 in '85. Jesse Barfield's 40 in '86 seemed unreal, and Bell's 47 in '87 felt Ruthian. When I was growing up, 40 homers meant something very, very special. At some point
Jim Henson would have been 75 today. His most famous creation is probably Kermit the Frog, a character performed and voiced by Jim Henson until his death in 1990. This picture always makes me sad.
You lucky bastards are getting three for one here. That's right, three radio hits in one entry. See what I did there? I called them "hits" because "hits" are played on the radio. I could have called them "thoughts" or "points", but that wouldn't have been nearly as clever. Let's
I wore my Optimus Reim shirt today. You can get yours here. Optimus Reim, a.k.a. James Reimer, gets the start tonight in preseason play. He's a rather important part of the Maple Leafs' 2011/2012 hopes and dreams. When I look at last year's team, a team that
It's funny how things change. In 2006, I listed my five favourite R.E.M. songs, and they were as follows: Follow MeDriveEverybody HurtsMan On The MoonIt's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)I still love those five tunes, but I think my
It was almost four years ago that I begged the Blue Jays to bring back their old logo. That old Jays logo is the only one I'll wear. I love how the double blues are complemented by a healthy dose of Canadian red (with actual maple leaf!) popping on white.
Good news everyone! Google+ is now in beta, and anyone can sign up. For the past 12 weeks we've been in field trial, and during that time we've listened and learned a great deal. We're nowhere near done, but with the improvements we've made so far we're ready to move
Billboard has a great synopsis of the Pearl Jam Twenty soundtrack. The die-hards have probably already seen it. If you're one of those early birds, please don't give away the ending. I want to see this. "Release" (from Sept. 16, 2006 Verona, Italy)"Written shortly after Eddie Vedder's arrival in
Google is getting smarter. They're now interpreting photos on sites running Adsense to serve up matching ad images. Amazing.
Recall how sexy she was in Fatal Attraction... And now... Don't know about the rest of you guys, but nothing turns me on more than the Charlie Chaplin look in a gal..hot damn!
I play on two teams that play slo-pitch in the RSPA. One of these teams hasn't played weeks. In fact, I can barely remember playing Intermediate slo-pitch with the Piranhas. It's been a while. My other team, Raging Storm, plays in the Competitive division, and this Storm won't die. We
This morning's Terry Fox Run at High Park was a great success. Thanks to 30 of you, I managed to raise $860. It wasn't a personal best, but I'm damn proud nonetheless. Thanks again, everyone. We'll do this again next year.
I guess when you don't consider yourselves a band, you can't actually "break up". The collective we know and love as Broken Social Scene has announced they're breaking up, but they refuse to use the b-word. In Kevin Drew's words: While we were on the road, we kept saying we
Releasing balloons for orphans at the University of West England in Bristol goes not as planned. At least that's the quote that accompanies this video. Pretending for a moment these balloons do in fact include messages from orphans, your job is to watch and not laugh. Who laughed? I want
Frances Bay was 92. She was the Canadian character actress who frequently portrayed eccentric elderly women and good-hearted grandmothers. I'll always remember her best for playing Happy Gilmore's grandma... ...and Mabel Choate on Seinfeld. She loved her marble rye bread!
When HP sent me a Touchpad in July, I dove into the tablet market for the first time. The Touchpad didn't make it, but it got me wondering if there's a viable iPad alternative out there. No doubt Apple's iPad is a dominating #1, but what's #2? I've been playing
I never liked the Tea Party. I'm talking about the now-defunct band from Windsor, of course, not that silly political movement in the States. The Cancon band Tea Party owns TeaParty.com, and Business Week says that could make them rich. There’s no hotter name in politics right now
It's time to close the communications loop. I wrote earlier this week about how ABC was using social media to reach out to publishers who promote their shows. I don't know if this is an ABC initiative or a Jimmy Kimmel Show initiative, but I just recieved a FedEx package
I'll be at High Park Sunday morning for the 2011 Terry Fox Run. Many of you have already pledged, and I sincerely thank you. The rest of you stragglers still have time. Donate to my run and they'll email you a tax receipt in PDF. It's easy, secure, for a

This guy's name is Dan Speerin and he put together a little collection of what he perceives to be Rob Ford's top five WTF moments. I think he's missing a lot. Post your favourite WTF moments from Rob Ford in the comments!
I've been hacking away at the new http://www.humbleandfredradio.com/, sending proofs to Humble and Fred to approve. The latest list of changes from the boys includes my absolute favourite customer request. Humble just asked me to make the logo bigger. Humble, this is for you.
The F-150 Raptor is back with Ford, but I've still got a few pics on the camera I'd like to share. Enjoy these Ford F-150 SVT Raptor photos. If you like what you see, I also photograph weddings, birthdays, Bar Mitzvahs and Bat Mitzvahs. Contact me for more details.
