The show I've loved for more than half my years on this planet will air its 350th episode tomorrow night. The impact "The Simpsons" has had on my life is immeasurable. It has directly influenced the way I live, the way I think and the way I raise my children.
Not quite what I was expecting. I was on the edge of my seat half way through the third with a slim one goal lead. To give the Latvians credit, they never stopped working and never gave up. They kept coming, causing the Great White North to feel rather nervous.
Melvin Goes to Dinner: 7 out of 10. "Mr. Show" was a comedic series starring Bob Odenkirk and David Cross and it might be one of the funniest things ever produced. Prior to this series, I knew Bob Odenkirk as Larry Saunders' agent on that great series and now I
The St. John's Maple Leafs fourteen year history is officially over. They were ousted from the AHL playoffs last night and will never return to St. John's. They will change uniforms and play out of the Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto as the Marlies next season. Covering these AHL games was
If this site looks a little different today, it's because every font you see is Georgia. Everything had been Verdana for such a long time I felt an itch to switch. Periodically I change up the font family of my site, but I always end up with Verdana or Georgia.

Dubya sings "Imagine" and "Walk On The Wild Side" - A fun remix. Dubya has never sounded so good.
We hockey fans are hockey starved. It's April and I didn't attend a playoff pool draft, I didn't don my Leafs jersey a single time and I haven't heard a peep out of Bob Cole. It's been seven months since we've seen the world's best going at it and we're

Not since Maggie Trudeau and The Rolling Stones hooked up has Canadian politics been this sexy. Coverage of Ottawa politics these days should be rated AA. "Who's sleeping with whom: parties trade barbs over political bedfellows". That's the CP headline I just read. Jack Layton is accusing Stephen Harper of
When I first heard Sloan was coming out with a greatest hits package, I predicted the twelve songs that would make the cut.

"Trailer Park Boys" is a rare example of a successful Canadian television series. It's entering its fifth season and today they announced they will be filming a movie this summer. The executive producer for this flick will be none other than the key note speaker at my university graduation, Mr.
Lee Goren's power-play goal at 2:35 of overtime helped the Manitoba Moose to a 3-2 victory over the St. John's Maple Leafs in Winnipeg last night and a 3-1 lead in the AHL's North Division semifinal. We're on the brink. With the NHL Leafs in this position, I'm left
Reginald (Red) Horner was 95. He played for both the Toronto Marlies and the Maple Leafs, spending his entire career in Toronto scoring 42 goals and 110 assists with 1264 penalty minutes in a hall of fame career.
Are you sitting down? I have a shocking declaration to make. I have never owned a cellular phone. As unbelievable as that sounds, it's true. I love gadgets and technology and all that, but I've never been interested in owning a cell phone. I always felt if I was going
I recently submitted a tune for SLS13 consideration. I submitted "Best of You" from the Foo Fighters. I just love it. I blast it when I hear it and it puts a smile on my face. It's just a great little rock song from the Foo and it's going on
Custom is currently working things out with the suits, trying to get his sophomore release on the street. I've spun and reviewed the first 14 tracks, built his new official site including his official bulletin board and now I want everyone who visits this site to listen to a few

This afternoon I heard the brand new Foo Fighters song "Best Of You" and totally digged it. Listening to this tune, I was overwhelmed by one constant thought. How the f*ck was this guy content being the frickin' drummer? Sure, it wasn't just any band, but the world's best
A Quick Peek at Longhorn - I do a lot of complaining about Windows, yet it's the operating system on the two computers I use daily. I'm pretty close to going with Linux on one of these machines, but I'll probably stick with Windows on the other. As a result,
Organizers of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Games unveiled their Olympic logo over the weekend. It's called Ilanaaq and it's an inukshuk, a symbol deeply rooted in Inuit culture. You can see it here. Some like it, some hate it. A colleague just told me it looked like something his kid
Manitoba went up 5-1 early in the second and it was lights out for the Maple Leafs. Brad Leeb scored the lone goal for the blue and white who will try and tie up the series tomorrow night. Manitoba leads series 2-1
When I started having kids, I realized I'd have to slash the entertainment budget. At that time I made a decision there were only two bands I'd pay to see perform live. One is The Tragically Hip and the other is Pearl Jam. I just received some great news about
I recently submitted a couple of tunes for SLS13 consideration. I submitted "Finding Out True Love Is Blind" from Louis XIV and "Goodnight Goodnight" from Hot Hot Heat. I heard "Finding Out True Love Is Blind" a few times and each time thought "this is really good, perfect for SLS,
