Mesh Conference

Categories: Technology, Toronto

This was a great event – dinner at the drake web 2.0 definitely has a lot of hype surrounding it making it uncomfortably close to becoming bubble 2.0 There were far too many businesses are just creating the ‘next social network’ with business models based purely on ad revenue. Sure online advertising is a much … Read More

An Inconvenient Truth

Categories: Movies, Technology, Toronto, World News

so i had to post this. the idea that Al Gore had put together a movie which is basically just clips of him travelling the world giving powerpoint presentations about global warming – or as he calls it, the climate crisis, had me a bit skeptical – my friend was putting together the Canadian premier … Read More

Someone Bail me out

So i’ve got distressing news – I was arrested today… I got caught for j-walking, and since i didn’t have my ID, i was taken in to the station where they fingerprinted me, and found some outstanding items from university days and so now they’ve taken my mug shots.

Land mine riddled food…

the cause was great, the setting interesting, the food, well left you eyeing the door… to the exit or the bathroom, whichever was closer. if this is the food that people who are not living with landmines and poverty have to endure, you really have to feel for those who are still living in cambodia … 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

TIFF Movie: Romance and Cigarettes

If there is anything that I could say was a fault with the movie, it was that there seemed to be too many sub story lines. The movie takes … Read More
