I'm guessing you've all seen this by now. Jenny supposedly quit her office assistant gig via dry erase board and it's pretty amusing stuff, even if it is probably fake. Here's one of her grievances:

I've been playing around with Songza, which lets you program your own internet radio station. Click on over to http://songza.com/listen/toronto-mike and give it a listen. I'll be adding new songs soon.
Did anyone else out there collect the Rap Traxx series of hip-hop compilation cds that came out in the late 80s and early 90s, or was I the only one? I totally dug Rap Traxx, especially Rap Traxx 2. Here are the tunes that appeared on Rap Traxx 2. # Artist
Another retro gem shared by Retrontario put the old jingle for Santa's Village back in my head. This is a classic case of ear worming. This damn jingle was stuck in my head for years. "All the children love Santa's Village, all the children love to see him there . . ." If
Blue Jays pitcher Brandon Morrow has 16 strikeouts through 8 innings, but more importantly, he's got a no-hitter and a 1-0 lead. The Rays are coming up in the top of the ninth and I'm going to live blog this inning. Remember, there is currently only one no-hitter in Blue
Called up from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday, J.P. Arencibia homered on the first pitch of his first at-bat, a two-run shot to left in the second. He added another first-pitch homer in the sixth, and finished with four hits. Arencibia is the first player in the modern era
I don't have many pictures of me as a kid. There's a long story there, but this entry isn't about that. This entry is about a picture I have of me as a kid in which I'm crying. Here's the picture... When I look at that picture, the first thing
It's hard to believe it's been six years since the Expos played in Montreal. Annakin Slayd put together a nice little tribute he calls "Remember (A Tribute to the Montreal Expos)". I like the use of the TWIB theme. [via @downgoesbrown]
I don't know if it's because we're in the middle of a very busy, hot summer, but from where I'm sitting this is the least inspiring Toronto mayoral race I can remember. The simple fact this is the first I've written about this election to choose Toronto's new mayor since
Hiroshima Toyo Carp outfielder Masato Akamatsu made an awesome catch the other night. Is that the greatest catch ever?
Google has stopped developing Google Wave. Quite simply, not enough people were using Google Wave. I began beta testing Google Wave last October, and sincerely wanted to like it. One month later, I foresaw this day. I want to love Google Wave, because it's a bloody seductive premise, but it's
I share an MP3 from my collection every Wednesday. You have seven days to grab this week's MP3. Please right-click your mouse and select "Save Link As..." or "Save target as..." so you can download it to your PC before playing. The Pogues - Body of an American I've been
If you're lucky, when you hear Pearl Jam perform "Daughter" live, they'll tag on "It's OK". That's what they did in New York back in 2000, and the bootleg of this performance has been an iPod staple for me ever since. It's also my current ring tone. Here's Pearl Jam's
Bobby Hebb was 72. His 1966 pop music classic "Sunny" described a sincere smile from a woman that lifted the singer's burdens.
Paranormal Activity: 8 out of 10. Yeah, I'm a little behind on my movies. It's always that way. I see them when they hit TMN, which is about a year after they hit theatres. I just watched Paranormal Activity and totally dug it. I liked it more than The Blair
Most of us in Canada have the day off today. It's a Civic Holiday, or as I like to call it, Contrived Summer Holiday. Essentially, with a whole summer between Canada Day and Labour Day, we needed a summer holiday. The first Monday of August sounded good, and most provinces

Lisa Simpson’s wedding ceremony from the sixth season episode “Lisa’s Wedding” takes place today at 1pm. And she's still 8 years old!
I think Louie CK is friggin' hilarious, but who doesn't? His new series has been airing on FX in the USA since June, and I've been hoping a Canadian network would pick it up. I desperately want to watch this show. Here's part of episode 6. This is damn funny,
Someone named Rumplestiltz has put together a hip hop song about old school Toronto Blue Jays. Anyone who reads this blog, especially my collection of old school Blue Jays Songs, knows I'm a sucker for Stieb, Upshaw, Fernandez, Bell and other Jays of yesteryear. I'm not sure about some of
I left my Blackberry in its case on our team's bench the other night during softball. An opposing player hit a foul ball that landed right on my poor Curve. The result is a true crackberry. The Blackberry is still fully functional, but you'll see the glass screen has been
All week I've been driving a 2011 Fiesta 5-door hatchback SE. Ford doesn't care what I write about these cars they lend me, so I assure you it's without bias when I tell you I'm loving this car. It's just so much fun to drive. No, there's not a lot
It's my mom's birthday today, and I'm off to a BBQ to join in the celebration. I decided to filter out all songs in my MP3 collection with "birthday" in the title. Out of 36447 songs I was very surprised to find only ten "birthday" songs. Here are the ten
I'm just coming up for air and catching up with some of the news from this past week. One item on Chris Bosh is really bugging me. When Bosh signed with Miami, I defended his legacy in a Raptors uniform. He was our best Raptor for 7 years, and unlike
Ramona and Beezus: 6 out of 10. I'm not sure how to review this one... Yesterday, my daughter turned six. For her birthday, she invited 11 friends to see Ramona and Beezus, and I was lucky enough to score an invite. All 11 friends, and her 8-year old brother, loved
