“MP3-Ready” George Foreman Grill
In the Simpsons episode titled The Canine Mutiny, Bart uses his newly-acquired credit card to buy presents for his family. One of the presents he gives to Marge is a frying pan with a radio built into the handle.

Some excerpts:
It’s been eight years now. Eight long years. [...]

Ru Paul in 2008!
Given that the average public bathroom has more gay Republicans than clean hand towels these days, perhaps it’s time for them to put this candidate in the ring:

Bloor Street is Our Lounge
We had a few too many chairs at the TSOT developer office. I’m not sure how something like that happens; in every other place where I’ve worked, the problem has been too few chairs. So we moved the chairs out of the office and into a U-Haul truck (and eventually into storage). A photo op [...]

Here’s what the place looked like on December 7th. You can click [...]

Uh, Dude, It’s “JoaqUin”…
Joaquin Phoenix decided to make a statement that “he’s speechless without the writers” using only signs to deliver his acceptance speech at the People’s Choice Awards for the “Favorite Leading Man” award. The problem: he misspelled his own name…

TSOT’s First Ruby/Rails Project Night a Success
Last night, TSOT held its first Ruby/Rails Project Night, an evening where Toronto area Ruby and Rails developers can see in-depth presentations by their peers on Ruby, Rails and their current Ruby/Rails projects. We’ve only occupied our new office for four days, so in addition to being our first Project Night, it was also the [...]
