Toronto Burritos…
I love Burritos and one of my favourite meals to eat quickly on the go. Toronto has a lot of burrito options, many often have their own special ingredients or variants. I’m often ordering with my wife or a friend so I’ve created some of my favourite Toronto burrito orders. Chino Loco’s is still my […]
Fixing Draw Something…
There’s been a lot of discussion around Draw Something and Zynga’s purchase of the game. Forbes recently reported that the game saw a 5M drop in Daily Active Users. This is a problem but Forbes seem to focus mainly on the belief that users are tired of the game. Gigaom has a more complete […]
Dr Horrible not so horrible
I agree with Michael Arlington that Dr Horrible is not so horrible. Jen at work mentioned it a few weeks ago and I was a little skeptical because of the music nature. The production quality is really great and the story is very entertaining. Its available for free on the Hulu site with ads here:
Romanian NewWave Cinema
Last night was the Romanian NewWave Cinema’s first film night at the University of Toronto. The night consisted of 6 short films with one longer feature film. All the films were shown in Romanian with English subtitles. I had never seen any Romanian films so it was an interesting night to see some of the […]
Play Review: DYAD @ Fringe 07
I’ve been following the Praxis Theatre group for awhile mainly because of Laura Nordin’s involvement. I’ve attended their reading series in the spring and was exited when their annouced DYAD as part of Fringe Festival this year.

Movie Review: Sicko
Michael Moore movies have been a favourite of mine since watching Roger & Me years ago with my dad. He has a great ability to connect with people and provide a direct response to their indignities but I felt that his last movie, was too sensational. I like Michael Moore when he’s using other people […]
Movie Review: Transformers
I grew up with Transformers and after Starwars they were probably the childhood brand that I could identity with the most. Most Saturday mornings featured Transformers and G.I.Joe back to back but the Transformers were much better at merchandising their cartoon and I ended up with many of the toys. So needless to say I […]
Movie Review: Live Free or Die Hard ( Diehard 4 )
Its been awhile since I’ve seen a Bruce Willis film and he as reputation for delivering great action movies. Live Free or Die Hard sure doesn’t disappoint in the action category with some amazing stunts and an action packed plot line. As someone who’s worked in network security and followed the field for awhile it […]
Really Hotdocs
Hotdocs 2007 is on next week, if you not familiar with HotDocs, it’s a documentary film festival in Toronto. The line of films looks great and Hotdocs.ca is really well done. It really makes the Toronto International Film Festival site look dated. The site has some great social features too: ability to create you own […]
Movie Review : Children of Men
I saw Children of Men a few weeks ago and I still think about it often. If you’re not familiar with the movie the premise is that the birth rate has dropped to zero and there hasn’t been a baby is years. Nobody is really sure why people can no longer conceive but the world […]
NewMindSpace Subway Parties
NewMindSpace presented their Subway Parties at TransitCamp and their experience with organizing parties on public transport. Subway parties have been around for awhile but they’ve been using the web and technology to organize them. They try to provide limited notice of the party to avoid more than 250 people filling a subway car. They also […]
Movie Review : The Last King of Scotland
I saw my first movie of the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival last night. Its was ‘The Last King of Scotland” by Kevin McDonald and tells the story of Idi Amin’s doctor in Uganda. The doctor is from Scotland, and fresh out of medical school. It shows how their relationship evolves and the fate of […]
Toronto International Film Festival
Tonight is the start of the Toronto International Film Festival. As always getting tickets to the shows is a bit of a disaster. From what I can see there are several options each with its advantages: 1/ Purchase Gala Tickets You get to see all the big movies but you don’t get to pick you […]
