Run Fatboy Run: 6.5 out of 10. We actually sat down to watch Crank: High Voltage. I liked Crank enough to give it 6.5 out of 10, so I figured the sequel might be worth a shot. I was wrong. We couldn't get through 20 minutes of Crank:
Canada has earned its tenth medal at the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games. Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir won gold in the Olympic ice dance competition.
Poor Russia. They won a hard fought game against the Czech Republic yesterday to win their Group B and advance straight to the quarter-finals. Their reward? A probable quarter-final game against Canada. I'll bet the last team Russia wanted to face in the quarters is Canada. Tomorrow night, we'll get
Canada has earned its ninth medal at the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games. Kristina Groves won silver in women's 1500m long-track speedskating.
I'm willing to bet the vast majority of people reading this entry will be watching Canada face the United States tonight in Olympic hockey action. The puck drops at 7:35pm ET and I can't wait. In this clip from NBC, Tom Brokaw explains the relationship between Canada and the
Damian Kulash Jr. of the band Ok Go has contributed a great opinion piece to the New York Times. You may recall Ok Go's treadmill video for "Here It Goes Again". That clever, homemade video made Ok Go a huge success. They posted it to YouTube in violation of their
There is a hero in Argentina. In the animated gif below, you'll see a white van stalled on the train tracks. With no time to spare, the passenger on the motorcycle pushes the van to safety and narrowly escapes being hit by the train himself. When I stumbled across this
Back in November, my daughter didn't know how to skate let alone play hockey. When she hit the ice, she'd attempt to stay on her feet by taking little steps. That's not skating, that's walking on ice. We enrolled in the Swansea Hockey Association's Learn To Play Hockey program. I
I uploaded Custom's Hey Mister to my YouTube account back in 2006. Custom and I have been buds for the better part of the past decade, so I actually had his permission to upload the vid. It's his one hit and sort of notorious because it was banned by MTV.
Have you heard about the GHTL fight club? Before games, members of the Vaughan Panthers blow off steam and warm up by boxing in the dressing room. I was once an adolescent male, so this outrage makes me laugh. The Star has "disturbing video" of this "uniquely dangerous pre-game workout"
I'm playing out the tail end of my second season of hockey after a 21 year hiatus. I'm on the ice every Friday night, working my ass off and having a blast. Although my skating needs work, I'm pretty decent with the puck and I'm usually good for two goals
Canada has earned its eighth medal at the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games. Jon Montgomery won gold in the men's skeleton final.
New BSS is coming. It's been awhile since we had a new record from Toronto's Broken Social Scene collective. The first song from Forgiveness Rock Record is World Sick and it's a free MP3 download from http://www.brokensocialscene.ca/ right now.
This graphic is making the rounds. It reminds me of a rant I threw down in 2004. My friend lent me his Hulk DVD which I watched this morning. When I started the DVD three or four coming attractions began to play. Immediately I pressed the MENU button but this
John Babcock, Canada’s last known First World War veteran, has died. John Babcock was 109 years old. John Babcock was ready to fight in the Great War so we can live in a country where the great national stress is a shootout victory over Switzerland in Olympic men's hockey.
Canada has earned its seventh medal at the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games. Christine Nesbitt won gold in 1000m long track speedskating.
My WWWD tee shirt has arrived! No, it wasn't a freebie, I paid actual hard earned cash for this sucker, and I love it. It is now my official Tuesday night volleyball shirt. What would Wendel do? I like to think he'd be rather proud of my selection. Get your
It's no wonder this CTV / Rogers consortium forked over major dough in order to broadcast these Olympic games. In this age of the PVR / DVR, advertisements are virtually invisible, with one exception: live sports. The only time I see ads on television are during live sporting events, and since Friday
Canada has earned its sixth medal at the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games. Marianne St-Gelais won silver in 500m short track speed skating.
I'm addicted to the winter Olympics these days and totally psyched about our men's hockey team. Of course, that means an entry about the 1992 Toronto Blue Jays. The B-R Blog & Stat of the Day has pointed out that David Weathers remains as the last active player to play
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. Neil Young - Heart of Gold CTV is playing
Canada has earned its fifth medal at the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games. Maelle Ricker won gold in the women's snowboard cross final.
The challenge was simple. Take a longtime Firefox user who is reliant on his FF extensions and get him to switch to Google Chrome. On February 7th, I updated Chrome and installed a series of extensions that would perform the work of my old Firefox add-ons. If you're curious as
I was pretty psyched about the 500-metre speedskating event last night. Like all of you, I was rooting heavily for Jeremy Wotherspoon. My anticipation quickly turned to embarrassment when the Olympia ice-resurfacing machines couldn't cut the mustard. It was a comedy of errors. The first Olympia machine dumped snow and
