A couple weekends ago I was at the annual Canadian Knifemaker’s Guild (CKG) Knife show in Toronto. This is their main show, and is one of the yearly events that I always look forward to. I am unable to make it to Blade Show, but Toronto is my fix. The show features beautiful handmade knives [...]
Shiroi Neko has only been around for about a year as far as I know, but its possible that they have been around for 30 years too, as their website says (see the 1978 copyright). Anyway.. that is not the real purpose of this post, but what I’m posting about is the ripping off of [...]
Transparency International Canada did a report on which countries in the world had the most corruption, and Forbes published an article on it. Apparently over 5% of the world’s GDP (Gross Domestic Product) was either used for bribes, smuggled or stolen by these countries. That is a lot of money. According to Forbes, it amounts [...]
I was again listening to the Kid carson show this morning, and they were discussing a woman named Hailey, and her account of how Sexomnia has really made her relationships suffer. She suffers from Sexomnia, which is a condition where you try and have sex with people while you are sleeping. It is like sleep [...]
One of my favourite things to do on youtube is to surf around for good covers. There is certainly no shortage of cover artists on Youtube, many of them using it as a grassroots startup catalyst to launching their own musical career.

Boo, Hiss. Why did Ssense convert to US Dollars when they were a Canadian online shopping store? That bugs me. Especially now with the US Dollar much stronger than our loonie. I was browsing the trenchcoats and overcoats, hoping to snag a deal and use the 20% off coupon on a sale item, but then [...]
I’ve owned this cartridge for a while, and this is my first moving coil cartridge, so please keep that in mind while reading my review. Inflation and other factors have driven the cost of this cartridge up to the $1000 range now, while it used to be in the $600 range only 5 years ago. [...]
I find it amusing when exploits in Mac’s security are found, as there are just as many exploits in the software as there are in Windows, yet Mac users are always trying to discredit any findings… saying that they are irrelevant to the actual security of the machines. While some of this may be true, [...]
As many of you many already know, Vancouver is going to implement a video surveillance system on the streets of the city in and around the complexes that will be housing the Olympic Games. Athens implemented a similar system for the 2004 Olympic games and continued to use it afterwards, while Vancouver’s privacy commisioners are [...]
Christian Audigier continues to dazzle with his beautifully printed (and some might say tacky, and overdone) peices of clothing art. He has partnered with Frank and Gilbert Ros, who created the Paco Chicano brand in the 80′s in Andalusia in the Kingdon of spain. The brand uses many images of flowers and secular metaphors, with [...]
