Green Papaya – four stars

Categories: Restaurants, Toronto

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

Mapping wars heating up

It’s like 1999 all over again but the players have changed. Yahoo just upped the ante and announced upgrades to their mapping service.

Google nearly killed my friend!

Categories: Technology

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

Gio Rana’s really really nice restaurant – four stars

Categories: Restaurants, Toronto

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

Prod Review: Lacie Mobile Harddrive

Categories: Random Thoughts, Tech Reviews, Technology

So as I wrote about in an earlier post, my Sony Vaio crashed last week and so I’ve been backing everything off of it using a Lacie 40 GB Mobile Harddrive. I choose the Lacie drive simply because it had the best price point, and frankly, I’m a sucker for gimmicks (he Lacie drive was … Read More

Kudos to Apple

Apple paid tribute to Rosa Parks by bringing back their Think Different campaign and changing their front page to primarily display the a black and white photo of her. I didn’t even know about this until reading about it in CNet.

Flock and delicious

Categories: Tech Reviews, Technology

So I’ve figured out how to get delicious working with Flock – see earlier post – it seems that it specifically requires del.icio.us as the service name. I followed the following steps to get it to work. 1. Type ‘about:config’ in the location bar 2. Type ‘flock.favorites’ in the filter 3. Find the property ‘flock.favorites.webservice.name’ … Read More

Flock

Categories: Tech Reviews, Technology

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

Google Base

Categories: Technology

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

The onion and the WH

Categories: Random Thoughts

The Onion is one of my favourite sites and thanks to the White House, a lot more people are probably going to start reading it… I’m not sure what the logic behind making a big hoopla about the onion using the white house seal is – if anything all this does is draw more attention … Read More
