Dani Stover is no longer producer of the Dean Blundell Show on 102.1 The Edge. She's still on the air, however, on The Wolf 101.5 in Peterborough, another Corus owned station. You're likely familiar with The Wolf 101.5's program director. He's a fellow we call Freddie P
Last Sunday, I appeared on The Team 990 in Montreal. If you haven't heard my 8-minute segment yet, click on over and give it a listen. I made a statement that's ruffled a few Habs fans feathers. I confidently predicted that my Toronto Maple Leafs and their Montreal Canadiens would
I just tweeted that I'm part Don Draper, part Omar Little. I wish. Those are two of the most fascinating characters I've seen on television and their respective shows are fantastic. You know what show is far less cool than Mad Men or The Wire? American Idol. I've taken more
Nothing brings me back to the innocence of childhood the way baseball does. Throughout the 1980s, I was as big a Blue Jays fan as I was a Maple Leafs fan. In fact, because we had such a competitive baseball team starting in 1983 while our hockey team was always
I like to think I'm a pretty simple guy. Not simple in a bad way, but in a good way. I own one winter jacket, one pair of dress shoes, one pair of running shoes, one baseball glove, one digital camera, you get the idea. Once I have one item
Robert Culp was 79. He was the actor best known as Kelly Robinson in the '60s TV show I Spy and more recently as Warren Whelan on Everybody Loves Raymond. I knew him best as Bill Maxwell on The Greatest American Hero.
My preferred way to view quality television is on DVD. I'm willing to wait a little in order to bang off a good series unedited without commercials and without waiting a week for a new episode. Last year, I watched the entire series of The Wire on DVD. The Wire
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. Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - Enola Gay I
I haven't seen something this good in a while. It's a trailer for the upcoming Weird Al Yankovic biopic. Five years ago this month, I wrote about Doctor Demento.
I was just checking out a great little HTML5 and CSS3 checklist by findmebyip.com. They've looked at the top five browsers, both PC and Mac, and looked at whether it supported CSS3 Properties, CSS3 Selectors, HTML5 Web Applications, HTML5 Embedded Content, HTML5 Audio Codecs, HTML5 Video Codecs, HTML5 Forms
A few years ago, I shared The Story of Stuff. Here's another story from the same folks. This is the story of bottled water. I drink tap water.
Allow me a moment to explain the current header. In case you're reading this long after it's gone, here's what was at the top of this site at the time of this writing. That's Barbapapa and Barbamama, and if you were a kid in the late 70s and early 80s
I appeared on Montreal's only English sports radio station tonight, The Team 990. The show is called Game Points and they had me on following their discussion about my blog last week. It's not easy being cocky when your team hasn't played a playoff game in five years but I
The first video I want to share in the post-SLS era is this gem from the Gorillaz. The song features Mos Def and Bobby Womack while the video features Bruce Willis.
11 years is a very long time for anything web-based. That's why it's with a great deal of sadness that I announce the Smells Like Sour (SLS) franchise has died a natural death. SLS was a "hypothetical" collection of new tunes that we "released" twice a calendar year. All editions
The in between is mine. Eddie Vedder wrote that lyric for "I Am Mine", a song from Riot Act. "I Am Mine" tops my list of 20 songs for my funeral, I like it that much. When all is said and done, you're born and you'll die. It's the in
Think back upon all the Leafs games you've attended over the years. Which was your favourite? Five years ago today, I wrote about My Game. This game took place over twenty years ago, but it remains my personal fave. I attended the last Toronto Maple Leafs game of the 1980s.
I had quite the iron man streak of Maple Leaf recaps going. I had written a recap of every Leafs game since the start of the 2003/2004 season until Brendan Burke passed away. I couldn't find it in me to recap that night's game. Post Olympics, I had another
My favourite time of year is quickly approaching. The NHL playoffs are mere weeks away. That also means it's time for our annual playoff pool. Draft day is April 12. Here are the official rules. Here's a peek at previous drafts: 2009 NHL Playoff Hockey Pool2008 NHL Playoff Hockey Pool2007
The kids are off school this week, enjoying their March Break. I thought that would make this the ideal week to avoid the office. I took a week off to sleep in and chill with the family. It's the middle of March, and I haven't worn pants all week. That's
Fess Parker was 85. He was the actor who played Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone. I came within a Y chromosome have having a son named Daniel Boon.
Martin Streek took his own life last July. As you'll see from the 214 comments over there and the many other entries in my Martin Streek Remembered category, Martin was a wildly popular radio deejay in this city, enjoyed by all who heard him and beloved by everyone who met
Today, the swastika is primarily seen as the symbol of the Nazi Party and of Nazi Germany. The connotation is incredibly negative, and rightly so... under the flag of the swastika, a racist belief in the superiority of the Aryan race took hold and resulted in the death of 11
Alex Chilton was 59. He was the singer and guitarist who rose to prominence in Big Star and The Box Tops.
