Maria Schneider was 58. She was best known for her role opposite Marlon Brando in Last Tango in Paris.
Something major went down at FLOW 93.5 yesterday. I knew it was happening because of the commenters who had found my entry from earlier this year in which I openly asked if CTV could change FLOW 93.5's format. Denise contacted me via Twitter last night, and I asked
Here in Canada, we still live in a digital ghetto, and it's getting worse. Our friends at the CRTC have passed new regulations that will force Internet Service Providers to switch to usage-based billing. I'm a web-savvy guy, and I find it all complicated. Essentially, we're talking low data throughput
The White Stripes have officially broken up. Their site is down right now, but earlier it contained this paragraph about their breakup. The reason is not due to artistic differences or lack of wanting to continue, nor any health issues as both Meg and Jack are feeling fine and in

Have you heard? It's going to snow tonight. The local media is ecstatic. 680 News, for example, opened their Storm Centre. It was about seven years ago that I first wondered aloud as to what opening their Storm Centre would entail. I wonder what setting up the Storm Centre entails
The last of Egypt's main Internet service providers, the Noor Group, went offline yesterday. Without internet, Egyptians are being muted, leaving "The Papyrus Revolution" without a voice. This past weekend, Google and Twitter introduced a speak-to-tweet service, allowing Egyptians to tweet using just a voice connection. It’s already live
What's happening at CKLN-FM? The Ryerson-based station had its license revoked by our friends at the CRTC. They have to cease broadcasting by February 12, 2011. Here's an email I just received about the decision. Hi Mike;I've been expecting you to get up the lightning bolts and thunder at
1994 was an interesting year. NAFTA was established, there was no World Series, the Leafs made the conference finals, Nancy Kerrigan was clubbed in the leg, Kurt Cobain killed himself, Justin Bieber was born, OJ fled police in a white Bronco... ...And Bryant Gumbel and Katie Couric didn't know what
I was just catching up on my email, when I saw an item from The Dean Blundell Show asking "Do We Suck?". I thought that was a pretty timely question following this ongoing debate. Here's the email. And no, I haven't taken the survey yet.
25 years ago today, the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded on its 10th flight during mission STS-51-L. I once ranked it #3 on a list of world events that affected me. I was 11-years old, and the Challenger disaster gave me a recurring nightmare. I was in grade five when the
So... Stan Lee is creating superheroes for each team in the NHL. According to the NHL, "these 30 Guardians will be unveiled together in a special presentation during the 2011 NHL All-Star Game on Jan. 30 in Raleigh, N.C." Pretty cool. I can't wait to see what superhero my
YouTube user Retrontario frequently uploads fantastic retro-Toronto-centric gems. These clips never fail to bring back a ton of memories for me, so I feature them from time to time. I loved this ad as a kid. It got plenty of airplay, and seemed so clever. Even watching it now, I
I get letters. This one is from Chris who had something to get off his chest about CFNY a.k.a. Edge 102. Hello,It's about 3:20am on a Monday night and a case of insomnia, largely fueled by the internet, had me surfing around the net looking up
I was really excited about Justin Pogge on January 6, 2006. On that date, I wrote that I had seen the future of Maple Leaf hockey. His name was Justin Pogge. Things seemed to be going fine for Pogge as a Maple Leaf until I interviewed him. That was the
Jack LaLanne was 96. He was a fitness, exercise, nutritional expert, and motivational speaker who had been called "the godfather of fitness". I remember him best from his Power Juicer infomercials.
When Alex Anthopoulos sent Vernon Wells to the Angels the other day, it got me thinking about big trades in Toronto sports history. The two biggest, in my opinion, took place just over a year apart in the early 90s. You simply can't discuss big Toronto team trades without talking
There's a neat article about the origin of the Gatorade shower over on mental_floss. My favourite nugget is the premature Gatorade shower Kentucky coach Guy Morriss received. Here's footage of Morriss getting drenched and then LSU wideout Devery Henderson quickly scoring a miracle touchdown on a tipped Hail Mary
Let's get the business side of things out of the way first. Vernon Wells will make $86 million over the next four years. Many call it one of the worst contracts in MLB, virtually unmovable. GM Alex Anthopoulos just moved this unmovable contract, without sending any money to Anaheim. I
There's a lot of Toronto sports media movement this week. I've just heard Mike Richards is leaving Calgary for a spot on TSN Radio. Wait... there's a TSN Radio now? How long was I sick? Here's a nice email about it that I just received from Adam. As a follow-up
I read it in both the Globe and Mail and Toronto Sun, so it had to be true, right? Apparently not. Reports that Damien Cox had quit the Toronto Star for TSN were untrue. He's staying at the Toronto Star, and according to this Rogers press release, he has signed
Yeah... that's the stuff. Crank it up. And now my bitter hands, chafe beneath the clouds, of what was everything.
Star of Cox and Berger of the Bells, and columnist for the Toronto Star for as long as I can remember, Damien Cox has apparently resigned from the Star to take a full-time position with TSN. I can already hear Canadians outside of the GTA complaining that TSN has hired
I'm a big fan of social media sharing, Twitter in particular. When somebody finds an interesting, funny, insightful or informative entry (like this one!), I'd like it to be easy to share the article with friends and followers. That's where social media share buttons come into play. They're everywhere these
