I subscribe to the RSS feed for a great blog entitled Stuff White People Like. Although it's updated far too infrequently for my liking, every entry makes me laugh out loud. One of my favourite entries, because it's so damn true, is #85 The Wire. Though white people have a
Marshall Bruce Mathers III has been in our lives for a decade now, only we know him better as Eminem. I'll admit I'm a fan. I think The Marshall Mathers LP is exceptional, and I was sure to catch him on his tour with Limp Bizkit to promote the album.
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 recently shared an Ontario Health public service announcement (PSA) from 1984 that I remember like it was yesterday. Today, I'm
I follow Chris Bosh on Twitter. He just made an interesting announcement that he's signed a contract with.... Warner Music. That's right, it's not an extension with the Toronto Raptors, an announcement most of us are hoping for, but an agreement with Warner Music Canada to produce a unique DVD

Google has been my search engine of choice for most of this decade. Before that, I used Yahoo!. I don't believe I've ever used a Microsoft search engine for non-work purposes. Microsoft has never got search right. They keep trying, bless their little hearts, and every few years we get
My shower radio is tuned to 92.5. That's Jack-FM, "Toronto's Best Rock Variety", and I listen to it in the shower because it just so happens my shower is perfectly timed with an ad-free block of old and new rock tunes on Jack. It's just a series of tunes,
It takes more than a little rain and a couple of cool nights to dampen the spirits of a bunch of Beavers and their bewildered daddies. Even though I arrived at the camp grounds in a torrential downpour, got lost twice on the Scout grounds trying to find Radial Lodge
The first camping trip of 2009 is planned for this weekend. My son and I are heading to the local Beaveree tonight where we'll pitch a tent and spend a couple of nights under the stars and away from the laptop. Typically, I don't schedule camping trips for May, because
If Jules Winnfield from Pulp Fiction played Guess Who?
Every once in a while, I get asked a question via the form at TorontoMike.com/contact.html. Here's a question I just received. Who was the third baseman that nearly came to blow with John Gibbons a few seasons ago and where is he now?Ah yes, John Gibbons,
Up: 9 out of 10. When I saw WALL-E last summer, I called it my favourite film from Pixar, and that was really sayin' something. All the Pixar films are pretty damn good. Last night, I saw Up in 3D and I'm ready to declare it my new favourite Pixar
Tonight I get to see Pixar's Up before most of you. Nah nah nah nah nah. Here's the promo blurb I got from Disney Canada. From Disney•Pixar comes UP, a comedy adventure about 78-year-old balloon salesman Carl Fredricksen, who finally fulfills his lifelong dream of a great adventure when
A glove tap to Down Goes Brown for this one. It was 16 years ago tonight that Kerry Fraser blew the call that cost us Leaf fans a berth in the Stanley Cup finals. I wrote about it over six years ago (man, I've been blogging a long time) in

Peter Zezel was 44. He was a key contributor to Toronto's dramatic playoff runs in 1993 and 1994, during which time he embraced the role of checking centre, relentless penalty killer and face off specialist alongside linemates Bill Berg and Mark Osborne. For more of my thoughts on Peter Zezel,
There are reports today Peter Zezel will be taken off life support today after a long battle with a blood disorder. He's only 44 years old. I first got to know Zezel as a member of a rather likable Flyers team that included guys like Tim Kerr, Brian Propp, Dave
I play NHL 2K9 on the Nintendo Wii with my son. We've been playing for a few months now, and I'm still struggling with the controls. There's just too much to learn. When I was a kid, I played Ice Hockey and Blades of Steel on the NES and our
I'm submitting a song for SLS21 consideration. I'm submitting "Body of Years" by Mother Mother. This sweet indie band is based in Vancouver. They released O My Heart in late 2008 and this is their first big radio single off the album, at least in this neck of the woods.
Now that I've discovered money ruins everything, it's time to discover songs in my MP3 collection with the word "money" in the title. For added enjoyment, you'll find my favourite five are bold. Money, Money, Money - ABBAWhat Do You Do For Money Honey - AC-DCMoneytalks - AC-DCMoney Can't Buy
Things were better before I figured out they were businesses. Specifically, I'm thinking of sports and radio. I remember a time when I knew every player on the Blue Jays roster and I didn't have a clue what any of them made. It didn't make a difference what the terms
The Incredible Hulk: 6 out of 10. Only five years after Ang Lee's Hulk, we get Louis Leterrier's The Incredible Hulk starring Ed Norton as Bruce Banner and the University of Toronto as Culver University. Torontonians will enjoy spotting parts of our city with lots of scenes of Convocation Hall
Here's 1:28 from the 2-hour Humble and Fred podcast that really spoke to me.
With a second left on the clock and down by two, who do you want to take that buzzer beating shot? If I had a time machine, I'd want Michael Jordan with the ball. If no time machine is available, give me Lebron James. Last night, Lebron James got the
