Must be your lucky day!

On my way over to the Design Exchange for the press photo opp today, I noticed that there was a Toronto a la Cart vendor on the corner of King & Bay. They were tucked around the corner on Bay far enough that I never saw them when I’d go in to work. I made [...]

I finally found the web page that covers what the prize package I won through the Design Exchange. One Contest Prize will be awarded consisting of one pair of “positive air” direct round trip economy class tickets with departure from Toronto courtesy of Air Canada to Tel Aviv, plus 7 nights deluxe accommodations comprised of [...]

260 Wellesley Street East, Toronto

This is not a place that you want to rent an apartment. If you’re considering it, or you have an application pending – you should seriously reconsider your options. The apartments are fine, if a little poorly maintained, and the neighbourhood is alright; very nice mix of people from all over, and you couldn’t be [...]

How I Became an ‘Involved’ Skeptic

07.21.10 | Permalink | 4 Comments

I’m trying not to mention my attempt to rally support around a first Toronto Skepticamp in 2010 in everything I write or post online today. At least part of me wants to remain calm; part of me wants to drag people to the cause now now now! I’m trying to remain calm, as I’m not [...]

TTC hates the environment

07.19.10 | Permalink | Comment?

Sent the following to the TTC complaints line; I’d have called, but their lines close at 5:00pm apparently. For an organization that’s trying to get people out of their cars and onto public transit based on an appeal to how environmental they are, you’d think that this would be reflected in how their employees behave [...]

I shouldn’t read Youtube comments

06.12.10 | Permalink | Comment?

I watched the following trailer for the film “Let’s All Hate Toronto” and then clicked over to a related Dead Trolls fan video (misattributed to the Arrogant Worms). There’s some law of trolling that ensures that the top comment, the one that you can’t avoid seeing right there under the video, scream out the most [...]

Icelandic Time Bubble

I was surprised a long layover on this flight search at tripadvisor – 16 hours in Reykjavik? I actually know somebody there, so I could even leave the airport with that… Wait a minute. Leaves Toronto at 9:10 pm on the 12th of October, and arrives in Iceland at 7:25 am on… the FOURTEENTH? Departs [...]

Busiest part of 2010 still ahead

05.29.10 | Permalink | 1 Comment

I didn’t do this much stuff in Halifax or in Vancouver… technically I’m not doing most of it in Toronto, either, but this is a lot of travel cost that’s immensely cheaper from this end of the country. I’m still considering going back to Vancouver for a session of film overdose with the Vancouver International [...]
