How would you like to yell at a fake Tony Hayward?

, June 15, 2010

I got a little bored this afternoon – towards the end of what was actually a very productive day at the office – so I decided to create a fake Twitter account for Tony Hayward, the controversial and evidently evil CEO of BP. As the name might suggest, I didn’t create @yellathayward because I wanted […]

Currently enjoying three new tracks produced by Nem-One

, June 15, 2010

Nem-One is a ridiculously talented producer. For the past twelve years and counting, he’s been producing tracks under a wide range of pseudonyms; you may know him as Nemo Burbank, Professor Falken, Haluk + Cuban, or any number of long-discarded monikers. But the one constant, from the beginning on down, is that he’s always been […]

Link of the Day: AIDS Walk for Life

, June 15, 2010

The AIDS Committee of Toronto is already encouraging its supporters to save Sunday, 19 September 2010, because that’s the date of this year’s AIDS Walk for Life. I did the walk last year, and if all goes well, I’ll do it again this year. You can register for the walk if you’d like to take […]

Link of the Day: The Canadian Electric Wheelchair Hockey Association

, June 14, 2010

Saturday was an incredibly busy day – and I’ll tell you more about that later – but one of its brightest spots was definitely a banquet for the CEWHA at which I was invited to spin. My friend Paul, who lives on the same block as my parents back in Scarborough, is a player in […]

If you’re into something simple and surreal, then you’ll probably find Chainsawsuit to be one of the better webcomics out there. Thanks to David Cheung for posting the tip way back when.

Link of the Day: VotingBloc.org

, June 12, 2010

Definitely a notable resource when it comes to “organizing and uniting voters behind issues not parties. If you are tired of partisan politics and elected officials ignoring the issues important to you then become a strategic voter.” You can join a local or national voting bloc related to the issue of your choice, and you […]

Published today: Peter Wolf Crier review on Chart

, June 11, 2010

I quite liked this one. It does have a bit of a rough “indie” feel to it, but the tunes are there, and they’re great.

Still got it

, June 11, 2010

Man, you guys! I just got totally hit on! And I’m not talking about like when the waitress calls you “sweetheart” or something meaningless and fake like that. This was an actual flirtation with intent. It totally caught me off guard, and I’m sure I must have come off like a shy, babbling idiot. Still, […]

It’s Friday, so here’s the video for “Northern Touch” by Rascalz

, June 11, 2010

Not only is this one a classic, but it’s also a major moment in the history of Canadian hip hop. And yeah, if you lived here in 1998, and you had a TV or a radio, then I’m sure I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know. But man, look it up. Canadian hip […]

“Every month people who work in the environmental field meet up at informal sessions known as Green Drinks. We have a lively mixture of people from NGOs, academia, government and business… Everyone invites someone else along, so there’s always a different crowd, making Green Drinks an organic, self-organising network. These events are very simple and […]
