Found another great restaurant – Green Papaya at 2401 Yonge Street. Although the Yonge and Eglington area is dying out lately, this restaurant is worth venturing to. The look of the place is pretty cool – minimalistic but still upscale – has a mixed aged crowd with a lot of eye-candy, and with a bit … Read More

So I had a friend coming over to visit yesterday, and I had sent my address to her over email. Fortunately, I decided to go one step further and look up the driving directions for her using Google maps as well. Well, to my dismay, the directions given would have directed her down a one-way … Read More

My first thought – what a stoooopid name… so I was already negative on the place – man I was wrong! The place is really really funky and cool. Everything from the entrance, to the interior design, to the ambiance looks like it is minimalistic, but you can tell that a lot of thought has … Read More

Just started using Flock and I’m still trying to figure out the real need. I already have IE, Safari, Firefox, and even Opera for my mobile – i just don’t see why i need another browser. Sure Flock is trying to change the paradigm a bit by making it a bit more integrated with Web2.0 … Read More

Wow – Google is moving at light speed and jumping into yet another market and making yet another potential enemy with Ebay (see Wall Street Journal Article). I guess the idea behind this is to have everyone add their info into Google base, which will presumably feed into Froogle and Google Local. I’ve seen some … Read More
