Link of the Day: Sketchersons TV
Saturday night marked the debut of Sketchersons TV, a brand new weekly sketch show produced by the acclaimed troupe of the same name, and airing on Rogers TV. Now, I didn’t get to see it, because I was at a wedding. And even if I’d been home, I wouldn’t have been able to catch it, […]

AIDS Walk Update: Today’s the day!
This year’s AIDS Walk for Life will be held this afternoon, and I’ll be headed out the door shortly. I’m really grateful to be heading down there with the generous support of so many people behind me, and even though I’ve been posting about this thing pretty constantly this week – and indeed, throughout the […]

Link of the Day: No Frills
I wonder if my friend Matej Novak is still handling the marketing for No Frills. He worked on their last campaign, which I happened to think was pretty clever, and very much in keeping with their brand. I wonder if he designed this appropriately simplistic campaign too. I suppose I could always ask him, instead […]

AIDS Walk Update: One day to go
Tomorrow morning, for the second year in a row, I’m heading downtown to do the AIDS Walk for Life in honour of the AIDS Committee of Toronto. I’ll be walking alone, but I’ll be backed by the generous support of a wide range of sponsors, who I want to thank once again for stepping up […]

Link of the Day: QI
It looks like QI is back for another series in the UK as of last night. Well, yesterday afternoon, I guess, in light of the time difference. And although it doesn’t air over here, as far as I know, their website is pretty extensive. It should make for an excellent time killer, at the very […]

Well, we’re getting down to the wire now! We’ve got just two days to go until this year’s AIDS Walk for Life, and the donations and support that so many of you have provided so far have been nothing short of incredible. If I haven’t said it enough already, then thank you. For those of […]

Speaking of Niki Ashton…
Earlier today, I noted that Niki Ashton could be the next of the twelve NDP MPs who voted to scrap the gun registry in November to announce that she’s changing her vote. Well, now we’re hearing that Ms. Ashton has postponed a planned announcement on the nature of her vote – which is at least […]

It’s not like it’s a national holiday
“I’ve ordered your birthday present!” Kate gleefully told me last night – reminding me in the process that yeah, my thirty-first birthday is two weeks from today. “Shit,” I thought. “I haven’t gotten Kate anything yet.” That’s not how it works, of course. But the fact that this was my initial reaction goes to show […]

“I just hope they remember who they’re supposed to be working for”
There’s an interesting story in the Globe and Mail this morning about a novel new tactic that the Conservatives have taken in their increasingly difficult battle to scrap the gun registry. Novel towards a dishonest and despicable end, of course, but novel just the same. As the story explains, the Conservatives “have begun running a […]

It’s Friday, so here’s the video for “What’s Up Doc? (Can We Rock?)” by Fu-Schnickens and Shaq
There was a brief period in the early nineties when some really amazing things were happening in the world of hip hop. But if you’re like me, then you were a little too into grunge to really invest yourself in it beyond the occasional Black Sheep track on AM radio or at a school dance. […]
