CityTV is pretty well ruined now thanks to Rogers, but back in the day it used to be really damned awesome. They did TV completely differently from the way everyone else did/does it and even though I’m nowhere near the TV watcher I was then, I still miss it and still know how much that …

There Is A Google Glass Sex App. Oh, And Some Other Stuff Happened, Too
I’ve seen a lot in the news about Google Glass, but to be honest, I haven’t paid that much attention to any of it. At least I hadn’t until today when a couple of stories caught my eye. But before we get into those, I’m sure some of you are wondering Steve, what the hell …

An Avoidable Awkward Hour
And now, a few words from Gill. I’m positive I have more than one good answer to her question, but none of them are coming to me at the moment. I do have a question of my own, though. Does anybody remember when the L in TLC stood for learning and actually kind of meant …

Complete with a couple of appearances from Rob Ford, it’s your 15 minute 2013 news blooper reel! Seriously, Rob Ford vs. the camera is the reason our ancestors invented television. It’s a fact. Look it up. Note: Video stops around 7 minutes in for an overly lengthy commercial, but keep watching.

Well, I hope you’ve enjoyed that quietness I promised a few weeks ago. Judging from our hit counts lately, it would seem you have.

Another Reminder Not To Eat Everything You See, Kids
My guess is that this is what happens when you watch the Don’t Put It In Your Mouth PSA after you’ve already mistaken pills for candy. I’ve never seen this version of Don’t Put It In Your Mouth, by the way. The only one I remember is the shorter one. It’s especially weird not to …

Run And Spill My Curly Fries, Run And Spill My Curly Fries…
How about a soundtrack? Good luck getting that out of your head. And the Newsroom 11 intro at the end just made me feel every bit of old that the commercial hadn’t already gotten around to. Now on to business. Pretty much immediately, we get a good sense that there’s something not quite right about …

The Movies Of My Life, Part 2: The Worst Of The Worst
This being a day that ends in Y, that must mean that it’s time once again to hear from Gill. Remember friends how in our last chat I warned you that I would tell you the nightmares in movie seeing that I have had? Well sit back, or maybe put your head between your knees …
