How To Make Roses From Maple Leafs - This link is in honour of a most glorious game. Right now, everything smells like roses.
NPR 100: Master List of top 300 Songs - This list of 300 songs was compiled by members of the NPR News and Cultural Programming staff and several distinguished music critics and scholars. "Loser", "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Jeremy" all made the list.
All The Simpsons You Need - This link is too good to be true. I'm so happy I could cry. Ok, I am crying... buckets. I'm so happy!
Elliott Brood's The Bridge Video - I fell in love with "The Bridge" the first time I heard it. Deeming it SLS-worthy, it appeared on our 15th edition. Today, I discovered this blog with a very cool video for the tune. Check it out.
Free Movies Fallen out of Copyright - This is a neat little collection of films that have entered the public domain. That means the copyright or patent restrictions have expired and we can do whatever we want with them.
Tim Horton's Locator - Powered by Google Maps, this is a handy little tool for tracking down the nearest Tim Hortons. My mom will love this.
the last 12 hours of edge music - I've been waiting for this feature to return to the 102.1 web site. They used to have a module on the front page that told you the song currently being played but this feature disappeared for some reason. This new page
911 Anniversary on Google Video - It still gives me chills.
Online Alarm Clock - I'm not sure I'd actually need such a thing, but it's nice knowing it's out there if I do. It even works.
Cassette Generator - I totally dig this. It's like, so 80s. It takes me back.
The Tragically Hip's "In View" from World Container - I was tipped off that the new Hip song "In View" was being previewed on the official Hip site. Here it is.
PDF Online : Create PDF - This is cool. Upload a document or image, give it a .pdf file name and have the pdf emailed to you right away. There's a 2MB max, but I think this might be awfully handy when you're at a PC without your PDF creation software.
Obadiah Parker - Hey Ya - I'm totally digging this sweet acoustic cover of Outkast's "Hey Ya". The guy's name is Mat Weddle. Let me know if you don't enjoy this.
Is Bush an "Idiot"? - Is the president of the United States of America intelligent? I have a few thoughts on the subject.
700 Hobo Names - Alexi threw this MP3 at me months ago, and I listened one day while I worked. It's not much more than John Hodgman running down a list of 700 hobo names, and it's pretty darn long, but it's strangely compelling. It's because of this bit that
Penn & Teller: Bullshit! - I recently started watching "Penn & Teller: Bullshit!" on TMN and I dig it. It's quite entertaining how they debunk topics like hypnosis, creationism, capital punishment and The Bible. This link is to 23 full-length episodes of this very cool show.
TurnHere - BoingBoing linked to this site recently and I discovered several cool little films about Toronto neighbourhoods.
Britney - What's wrong with me that I've watched this twice now and can't wait to watch it a third time? I ♥ Britney.
workFRIENDLY - This is neat. The page you're reading is disguised as a Word document. The images and CSS mark up is suppressed so someone passing by your office computer will think you're composing a work-critical mission statement.
Every once in a while, I stumble across something in cyber space that makes my day. Today, I learned about Superkids. You can read this "Stupid Comic" here. Superkids was published by the Office Of Energy Conservation of the Department Of Energy, Mines, and Resources of Canada. A couple of
The Simpsons Maker - Build yourself a Simpsons character in your own image. Here's me. It's not quite as accurate as my South Park image. Doh!
Mysteries of Ontario - Actually, this site, which looks like it was made in 1997, is entitled "Mysteries of Canada", but I'm focusing on the Ontario section. From Robertson screws to the Diefenbunker, there are 31 tales here about our province.
The fucking short version of The Big Lebowski - The F bomb x 281 = Dude.
South Park Studio - Build yourself a South Park character in your own image. Here's me. The stubble is because I've been off work all week.
Dark Side of the Rainbow - For your reference, here's a cheat sheet of the coincidental events when you synchronize PInk Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon with "The Wizard of Oz". Personally, I think it's much ado about nothing, except for 19:37 in when it's a pretty cool
