The TTC Has a New Subway Map
...and it's rather unfortunate. Spacing reports that the TTC has begun to update its subway route map in subway cars—with a much uglier font, slightly more clutter, and a messy new treatment of addresses. To wit on the latter point:...visual clutter is increased by the new addresses on the…

Day Two is almost done - Getting home from The Ride to Conquer Cancer
The train almost did me in. I had no idea I would get motion sickness, not having been on a train in 30 years (for those of you doing the math, I was 16. Trust me, it does too add up to 29). I thought it was extremely ironic that I made it over 200K on a bike only to be taken down by a train…

Planning Your Wedding
Often, young couples will quickly find out that popping the question may indeed be the easiest part of getting married. And while we all can’t have a wedding planner like the one played by Martin Short in the “Father of the Bride” films, some help will probably be necessary in order to have…

Leafs Buy Out Tucker, Put Wellwood on Waivers
I noticed an article on TSN.ca today that stated the Toronto Maple Leafs were going to buy out the remainder of Darcy Tuckers contract. That just goes to show how out to lunch John Ferguson, Jr was with his contract. No one else in the league would take on Tucker for that amount of money. I…

Pacers Trade Jermaine O’Neal to Toronto Raptors for T.J. Ford and Rasho Nesterovic
Nothing has been really confirmed at this point and won’t be until July 1st and players pass their physicals. From what I’ve heard from a variety of people though, the ongoing health of T.J. Ford seems questionable to me. I also think we should be able to get a lot better than this for…

Lots of limes for sale.
This was taken in Chinatown in Toronto, where limes (and fruit in general) are always cheapest. If you’re willing to hit a few Chinese supermarkets, you can always find the fruit you’re looking for at a cheap price. And where else in Toronto can you find decent pitaya?

Toronto Mayor Proclaiming Toronto Pride Week 2008 and the Pride Flag raising at Toronto City Hall
The Toronto Mayor proclaimed Pride Week at a fun ceremony at City Hall on Monday. From 1991 to 2008 we have had 17 years of continued recognition and support from Toronto City Hall for Gay Pride Week festivities. Prior to 1991 in Toronto, being gay felt a bit third world. It was embarrassing…

McDonald’s has never looked as scary.
This looks to me like a McDonald’s that has closed down in some kind of dystopian future — maybe I’ve just seen 28 Days Later (which, I have to say, was not even close to as good as Dog Soldiers, even though they’re not really about the same thing) too many times.

Bad Boys (Whatcha Gonna Do?)
Is there anything more exciting in baseball than a game-winning sacrifice fly? The only thing I can think of is - a game-winning sacrifice fly in Canada. Jay Bruce is probably in the Blue Jays’ clubhouse right now begging for the baseball from his first game-winning sac fly. As well…

NBA Trades Right Before the Draft
The Pacers and Raptors just completed a deal and assuming physicals work out (which is not a formality in this case), Jermaine O’Neal will be traded for TJ Ford, Rasho Nesterovic, and the #17 pick in the draft. People say call this a risky trade for Toronto because O’Neal was hurt so much…
