If, I say, if I was one of those people who posted wish lists on their web page I would certainly have to include bits 2 die for's Space Invader scarf. Man that is sharp and inexpensive too at only 39 euros which is only 56.92 CA. Of course, not being some hot young cam whore I really wouldn't have anything to offer in exchange except for my gratitude and a totally hot pic of my modeling the scarf, and only the scarf. If Space Invaders isn't your thing they're are plenty of others to choose from.

A burrito is not a sandwich.
TheStar.com : Toronto area hoofers set Guinness record with help from Rockettes.That's the culinary ruling of a Worcester judge, ending, for now, a food fight between Panera Bread Co. and Qdoba Mexican Grill.
In issuing his decision, which blocks Panera Bread's attempts to keep the burrito maker off its turf, Worcester Superior Court Judge Jeffrey A. Locke relied on testimony from Cambridge chef Chris Schlesinger and a former high-ranking USDA official, not to mention the Webster's Third New International Dictionary.
After five minutes of non-stop kicking, Corey Low from the Guinness organization pronounced himself satisfied and declared that Toronto now held the record for the Longest Line of Dancers, previously set by a group of 1,150 from Stein, Germany, in 2004.
Upon arrival at Union Station this morning the line ups to get downstairs from track 3 were alot busier that usual as one of the stairwells was blocked off by yellow caution tape and a guard was also posted at the top. Now this is unusual although not unprecedented as there have been frequent repairs to the escalator for this particular stairwell in the past year.
As it turns out this was a very unusual day at Union Station. I did happen to have my camera this morning but I would have felt like an idiot taking pictures while EMS staff were taking care of the injured. I wouldn't be surprised if this was due to an escalator malfunction because this particular one always sounded like it was grinding metal especially when there were a ton of people on it. I can only imagine when the first lawsuit is filed. My guess is by early next week. Care to join the pool? Leave a comment with your guess.

Why oh why when I'm in the throes of caffeine withdrawl do I write about an application that makes it easier to find your morning cup o' joe when you're on the road? Well, thats just the type of person I am...dumb. Just kiddding, this link has been on my favourites toolbar forever and I'm just cleaning house. That means you dear reader are the proud recipient of my link trash. Feel special yet?

What's your favorite radio station, past or present?
I'd have to say it CFNY 102.1 The Spirit of Radio from the mid-'80's until Humble and Fred left in the '90's I guess. Check out the wikipedia entry. I'd link to spiritofradio.ca but it seems to be down at the moment.
Here is some more information with video about Multi-Touch Interaction Research.
. He has followed that up with a great book called Make Love The Bruce Campbell Way and it is hilarious. I've recently acquired the audio edition and it is stellar. Its not some tight-assed old guy reading the book. Its Bruce and other actors who create what amounts to an old radio play complete with music and sound effects. It really is quite funny even for people who've never heard of Bruce before. I've posted the first three tracks from the audio book which should help you decide if you'd like to hear more of the book. Simply post a comment for this entry and let me know if you want me to post more. It would probably help if you added me to your neighborhood too so requests would be easier to track. Enjoy!
One of my favourite destinations on the web is April Winchell.com. April is a comedian and voice actor who rarely gets the attention she deserves although that situation seems to be changing with her latest creation. Using her recently acquired sewing machine April has created some buzz with her African orphan "Winchies" that are now up for auction on EBay. Now, before you get all indignant about another celebrity cashing on the new orphan-chic trend April has a very good reason behind here creation.
I am not trivializing the plight of these children. The fact that this has become a trend is what has trivialized it, and that is what I'm mocking. When a rich white woman swoops into Africa, bypasses local laws, cons an illiterate father out of his child and takes him home like a souvenir with a red string on his wrist, that is trivializing the situation.
