The City of Toronto has decided to roll out an interesting proposal — rather than spend money on youth-related projects without any perspective, they’ve decided to create a youth panel to make recommendations on programs that might engage kids in high-risk neighbourhoods.  Anyone ages 14-24 can apply to be on the panel by submitting their …Read More

I’ve just come home from my local Wal-Mart, and I’ve brought with me the deal of a century.  The big W is now selling the HP F2110 All-in-One Printer/Scanner/Copier for only $39!  I’ve looked into it and it seems as though this may be a model made exclusively for Wal-Mart.  HP doesn’t even list it …Read More

Blockbuster has just kicked off a new promotion where (as you can probably guess from the image to the left) if you rent any 2 movies they’ll give you a coupon to save $3 off a previously viewed DVD.  Considering some of their used DVD’s start as low as $4.99, it’s a pretty sweet deal.  …Read More

Today marks the first celebration of Family Day in Ontario. It’s a new statutory holiday (as you may have noticed if you tried to do any shopping today) that fulfills Dalton McGuinty’s promise to add a new stat day in February.

As many of our long time readers know, last summer my wife gave birth to our second daughter. Parenting has been a heck of a lot of fun, but that doesn’t mean my wife hasn’t had a few physical hurdles to overcome. For all the blessings motherhood brings, pregnancy can put a real strain on …Read More

It’s funny how some images can mean one thing to one person and another thing to another. Take this Ronald statue from Thailand located right next to the drive-thru. I’m willing to bet that from the time of imagination to the time of production and placement, not one Thai citizen thought that Ronald McDonald standing …Read More

Disappointingly, I don’t have something funny to offer for this weeks McDonald’s Monday — just something really really cool. Lot’s of different regions have different promotions and events, and in Hawaii? Some McD’s have Karaoke Night. How cool/bizarre is that? It seems like the perfect combination — now that I think about it, I don’t …Read More
