Going back to school has put me, a relatively old guy, into a young guy world. Most of the time this is fine, but once in a while there is a cultural gap that makes me feel as though I am a British anthropologist studying the baffling mating habits of a small pygmy tribe in [...]
See anything wrong with the pie graph above? Other than the 63% portion is clearly bigger than the 70%? Wait–63%…70%…60%, that makes 193%! What the H? Why people still believe anything Fox News has to say is beyond me. And it has nothing to do with their political affiliation which is clearly opposed to mine. [...]
David Lynch’s Cigarette AD
Brian Burke may be the general manager for a hockey team I love to hate, but he earns new found respect from me today. I’ve always thought he was a tough guy but also a good guy. After all, he’s not afraid to take public transportation in a city where everyone thinks they know better [...]
tUnE-YaRdS is one of the best shows I’ve seen in my life. It was during Pop Montreal this year. It took place at a museum. There were two bass clarinets (what?). It was amazing. Dublabs.com is also amazing. They are a web radio collective that plays awesome music, takes awesome photos, make awesome live videos. [...]
Meet Jamie Couper. If there’s one thing I could say about this guy it’s that he’s dedicated. Dedicated to highballing Pilsner intake under the waning harvest moons of Manitoba skies and clearly dedicated to fighting prostate cancer.

I’m pretty well versed in Beck’s awesome freaky deaky videos and lyrics but Charlotte, and the Gainsbourgs in general, are an enigma to me. Some quick research revealed that although Charlotte is an accomplished singer and actress, her parents are [...]
“Hi Montreal! It’s beautiful to be here, in digital form. This is our first time visiting another country as a band, we hope you will listen with warm welcome. That’s Ryan from the band Candy Claw saluting the Montreal internauts during the band’s Montreal “stop” of their virtual tour. They’ve searched out local blogs to [...]
Sitting in front of my computer on my lunch break today, I decided to type in ‘NHL and hockey’ in the Web of Science. For those unaware, the Web of Science is pretty much one stop shopping if you’re looking for research on any given topic (and unfortunately only available through a university or by [...]
If you’re older than 20 years old, we were once in a photo together. It was on February 14, 1990 when the Voyager 1 spacecraft was about 6 billion kilometers away from its starting point at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It turned around and took a single photo of the Earth (left). Even from [...]
