It’s a shame that I have to say this in the 21st century, but maybe we need booths like this everywhere. What do you think?

Update: Seth Christenfeld pointed out in a comment that the “Meet a Black Person” booth was an ImprovEverywhere project that took place at the HBO Comedy Festival in Aspen a couple of years back.
b5media, the company for whom I am Nerd Wrangler, is one of the finalists for the Canadian New Media Awards’ “Most Promising Company of the Year”. The announcement was made at the nextMEDIA conference, which took place this weekend in Banff.
We’re up against the esteemed competition, FileMobile and Viigo. According to the Canadian New Media Awards site, the winners will be announced at their gala in October.
My congratulations to my coworkers! I knew that working at b5 was going to be special.

Woofstock is North America’s largest festival for dogs, and it’s taking place today and tomorrow right here in Accordion City. The place where the Ginger Ninja and I live doesn’t allow dogs, but we’re dog people and we wanted to check it out anyway (and we plan to get a dog when we buy our house).
There is no admission charge to attend Woofstock, and yes, you’re welcome to bring your dog. It’s a street festival on Front Street that runs from Yonge to Jarvis (see the map below).
For more information, go check out Woofstock’s site. It’s is a dog-lover’s heaven; if you love dogs, you’ll love Woofstock!
According to Torontoist, the gas stations are going to jack the price of a litre of regular unleaded to $1.35 per litre at midnight tonight. If you’ve got a tank to fill, you just might want to do it before then.
(For my American readers, that translates to CDN$5.13 a gallon / US$5.04 a gallon.)
Luckily for me, we make minimal use of the car, favouring the subway (or a “subway-there/taxi back” approach) for most outings and public transport (in Wendy’s case) or my bike, The Scorpion King (in my case) for getting to and from work. I fill the tank on the Deathmobile (not so much a comment on the environment or car-caused fatalities as it is an homage to Animal House) less than once a month.
My bike, The Scorpion King.
This one’s for all the math nerds…

Update: Matthew points out that Toothpaste for Dinner did a cartoon of this back in March:
I’d have paid more attention in Sunday School if you’d presented it like this! You will have to use your common sense to gauge as to whether you’d be offended by a video of a gangsta-rappin’ Jesus:
