@KLM 692, our ride to Amsterdam.
Who wants to see @jpli18 spark up a big fatty when we get there?

Canadian TV sucks -- ENGAGE!
Here’s a little exchange I had with a honest-to-goodness Canadian TeeVee producer yesterday re: this tweet. To get the whole story tune in for #dys144, recording live tonight right here!
Meet @Asnsploitation's front of house team.
Can you guess which one is dating the director?
That's the stuff...
Being a theatre director has its perks. Ditto for being an alcoholic…

Are the neighbours cool with this...?
… Because I wouldn’t be. Just sayin’.
Saying goodbye to a pair of old friends...
I’ve had these camo-coloured iPaths for a long time. Too long, in fact — stylish as they are, they’re just not comfortable to wear anymore. I finally found their replacements here, a new pair of, um… New Balances. As per the staff’s instructions, I left the old ones right outside the store. So if you want ‘em, come get ‘em. Just treat them well, ok?...
This right here? This is why Bell & Rogers will...
Audio Podcast #94: Something Stinks at the CRTC Posted on: 13 July 2011 by Jesse Brown This is what Google sounds like when it’s pissed off. Listen now: Something Stinks at the CRTC(.mp3) via tvo.org And to be clear, this isn’t about how Google is saving Canadian content, but how fucked up old media is in this country…
My first-evar Timmy's breakfast biscuit...

Hmmm, maybe I should've picked a more suitable...
Guess I’m still all starry-eyed over the invitation!

Sucks to not be me, I guess… :-P

And a job well done, sir…
Well, I guess it's war then...
Grangetown Pet Rules I caught advance notice of this notice from my condo’s gardiner. Yes, I have an outdoor cat, and it’s going to be very interesting to see how the office goes about proving that found cat poop actually came from my cat. I’ll be taking my cues for all official correspondence with my condo management office from here :->
Truth in advertising at T&T...
Um, I’ll be in the bakery, thanks…

Bixi's trial by fire.
What better way to test a bike- sharing service than by mixing it up in downtown Toronto’s rush-hour traffic? Since I’m here to tell the tale, Bixi passed with flying colours. I signed up for a year-long membership this morning… More about Bixi here: http://toronto.bixi.com
Nice try, Art Gallery of Ontario...
I would expect this from The It Store, but not you…

Artifact from a previous life.
I’ve had this on my fridge ever since I moved into my current condo, in the year 2000. Figured I should probably scan before it disintegrates or something…

Irony or coincidence?
No sooner do I publish a blog post about the importance of the Nexus S to Canada than an OTA update appears and subsequently locks up my own NS. At least I’m not alone — and, more importantly, my phone isn’t bricked.

My last post on Posterous (and therefore Blogger,...
Just over four months ago yours truly began a grand experiment with Posterous, the anti-aggregator. That experiment is now complete. Whereas lifestreaming, as seen on the likes of FriendFeed and MyBlogLog, pulls in content from disparate sources for reading on a single page, Posterous does quite the opposite — blasting out the same content to multiple destinations. In my original defence...

#ACRTW - Sucking face with a tuna at Midorisushi.
A heartfelt thanks to Q-Taro and his lovely girlfriend for ensuring that the penultimate meal of my trip around the around wasn’t McDonald’s… After an afternoon of shopping I got the call to head out to Umegaoka Station on the Odakyu rail line. A short trip that should have taken 15 minutes instead took over an hour, partly because I couldn’t actually find the Odakyu line...
#ACRTW - My Saturday shopping spree in Tokyo.
Though Japan’s kick-ass keitai aren’t really suitable for export, there’s plenty of other stuff that is. Here are some highlights from my Tokyo stopover: It’s not only white phones that I like… Here’s a collection of man-purses from Wise-Walker on display at the fashionable Tokyu Hands — specifically the Shibuya location near my hotel. These neoprene...

Here’s something a little different — an audio walkthrough of the fancy toilet in my Tokyo hotel room. If you’ve been listening to the DyscultureD podcast you’ll have already heard this at the end of Episode 59. If not, check it out — it’s totally SFW!

Here’s a little video I did live from The Grand Hotel — a hugely impressive property but man, I’m glad I didn’t stay there… The Grand’s big drawback is its location — it’s a $100 TWD cab ride from the nearest MRT station, whereas the place I stayed at is right beside a stop further south and much closer to downtown Taipei. The...
#ACRTW - The serious business of eating dumplings...
Here’s David and Carol (Sandy Chen’s Mom and Dad) outside the world-famous dumpling restaurant DinTaiFung. As you can see from their expression, folks in Taiwan take their dumplings very seriously. Oh, ignore the mascot… Further proof: As soon as I sat down with Mr. & Mrs. Chen the server handed me this Laowai guide to Taiwanese soup dumplings. Little did they know I...
