I hereby declare a Toronto Coffee and Code for this Friday, March 20th from 11:00 a.m. to 6 p.m. at LinuxCaffe (326 Harbord Street, at the corner of Harbord and Grace, near Bickford Park; nearest subway station is Christie).
For those of you not familiar with LinuxCaffe, it’s an independently-owned cafe that also acts as a gathering place for Toronto’s Free Software/Open Source Software communities. It might not be a place you’d expect for an event hosted by a Microsoft Evangelist, which is one of the reasons I picked it. Another reason is that it’s a great cafe with good coffee and food, and I’m more than happy to support a local cafe with techie appeal.
LinuxCaffe deserves a longer post, which I’ll write later – I just want to get the word out about this week’s Coffee and Code. Hope to see you there!
I grew up and loved Maurice Sendak’s classic book Where the Wild Things Are. I have no idea how it will fare as a movie or how well it’ll carry the spirit of the book, but I like the poster:
Update: I like this remix of the poster, starring the Bear Whom I Shall Not Name:

Jeremy Barker (whose blog is Popped Culture) pointed me to Mad’s comic starring Charlie Brown as Chris Brown. It’s a fitting follow-up to my earlier posting featuring Peanuts done in the style of Sin City…
Jon Stewart is One of the Watchmen!
I love this doctored Watchmen movie poster featuring The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart as “The Comedian”:
