Don't Forget Your Website
Don't Forget Your Website July 2, 2008 11:01 PM Posted by Mitch Joel Lately, I find myself thinking more and more about what Bryan Eisenberg (co-founder of Future Now Inc., Blogger over at GrokDotCom, and co-author of books like Call To Action and Waiting For Your Cat To Bark?) had to say…

Realstar Takes the Environment Seriously... Only Once It Costs Them
The Globe & Mail has a story today on new fees for apartment and condo buildings based on the amount of garbage they produce. The city has a lot riding on the rollout of its new pay-as-you-throw garbage levy, which took effect yesterday for condo owners and apartment renters…. Condo and…

Board games for Raptors fans
This past weekend while away at a cabin with friends, some classic board games came out and I had forgotten how fun they were. Yahtzee, scrabble and jenga were just three games that hit the table and that of course conjured up an idea for the blog. How would some of the oldest and most famous…

Dinner in the Sky Takes Summerlicious and Toronto Cuisine to New Heights
Summerlicious 2008 couldn't have launched with any more pomp and style than it did today in Toronto. Using a massive industrial crane to hoist up and suspend a 5-tonne, 22-person table over a red-carpeted Yonge-Dundas Square, the American Express sponsored harrowing-stunt-meets-gourmet-cuisine…

On The Road Again
Back on the road again, as we said goodbye to Gananoque and the 1000 Islands and headed west to Toronto. The 3-hour drive was uneventful and we arrived in Toronto at lunch-time. We headed over to Casa Loma, a 98-room castle built between 1911 and 1914 by Sir Henry Pellatt at a cost of over $3…

Paris is behind me now
Holidays are hard. Well, maybe not the holiday itself, but the post-holiday adjustment. I’m not talking about jet lag or laundry, but a kind of ennui that seems to last for weeks. We lived in Paris for 10 days. The five of us rented an apartment, bought groceries, walked everywhere, visited…

Dinner in the Sky
Sometimes it pays to be critical. Many bloggers and writers work on the Thumper policy - if you can’t say something nice, then don’t say anything at all. But twice in the past few months, I’ve been offered opportunities to do something based on a snarky or critical comment I’ve made on…

Wild Thing Cafe
Another cafe has opened up in the Annex. I know, I know, we probably don’t need another cafe in the Annex, right? But this one is doing things a little differently, and I think they can make it work. Honestly, I would have walked by this Borden Street cafe without giving it much of a…

It's that Vine of Year
The University of Toronto School (UTS) has cultivated a spiffy '2008' out of the vines on its Annex facade (Bloor and Spadina). Maybe it's vandalism; it's just the kind of benign, numerical message those cheeky UTS math geeks would come up with as a summer prank.
