who commented, blogged or emailed me; it means a [...]

Blogstravaganza (a.k.a. "Monkey Knife Fight") Tonight!
January 27, 2006 – 5:02 pm
The preponderence of images of knife-wielding monkeys should be a hint to you that tonight is the night of the Accordion City (a.k.a. “Toronto”) Blogstravaganza, a gathering of this fine city’s bloggers. It takes place at a pretty convenient location: Fiddler’s Green, a pub located at 27 Wellesley Street East, just east of Yonge and [...]

Help Me Get the Video Out There!
January 12, 2006 – 6:36 am
Hey, readers! I’ve got a 90-odd megabyte video file of Sam Bulte and the other candidates being asked to take Michael Geist’s “Copyright Pledge”
at last night’s all-candidates meeting. The problem is that I haven’t
got any video editing or compression software handy at the moment.
