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 […]

“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 […]

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. […]

Link of the Day: The A.V. Club
Although I’ve mentioned it once or twice on this blog before, I’ve never linked directly to the A.V. Club for its own sake. And I really should, because this offshoot of the Onion is a great source of pop culture news and commentary, and one that I read far more frequently and thoroughly than most.

It’s being reported this afternoon that NDP MP Carol Hughes has become the fifth of the twelve NDP MPs who previously voted to scrap the long gun registry to reverse her decision and announce that she’ll vote against the bill next week. “The Conservatives have used this as a political tool for years,” Hughes noted […]
