Talking Heads
This, right here, is a headless post—a short blurb for something that doesn't necessitate a full-length post. It appears on the front page as a separate article (and is linkable as such), and you can comment on it like any other article, but it doesn't draw as much attention to itself as a…

I Hope Kobe Gargles…- Evening Hardwood – June 23
If there is one thing to be said about Raptors alumni, they have no qualms speaking on the whole Donaghy affair. First Doug Christie and now Charles Oakley has come out and said his piece, even pulling the “favourable” calls his buddy Jordan used to get into the argument. Personally I think…

SES Toronto 2008, peut mieux faire
Le bilan de ces deux jours passes au SES Toronto est assez mitigé. Autant être honnête : le niveau général des conférences, même les conférences de type “avancées”, nous a déçu tant il n’amenait aucune nouveauté, aucune originalité. D’une manière générale, les conférences…

The Road to Hell is Paved With Green Intentions
Toronto Mayor David Miller is trying to make Toronto a greener city, but there so often seems to be a disconnect between what he says and what happens on the ground, or in the Buildings department. Toronto architect David Dennis designed a house for himself with a lot of green features, and…
