This has been a rather crappy NHL offseason. If there’s been another in my lifetime that’s been this bad from a guys dying young standpoint, I cant’ remember it. First it was Derek Boogaard, then Rick Rypien and now Wade Belak, who was found dead today at 35. As a Leafs fan, this one is …

Run And Hide From Man Hide
I feel dirty linking this video, but some of you may have been lucky enough not to have seen it to this point and writing is all about context, so here it is. Listen, Dove. I like your soap well enough. Irish Spring is my personal favourite, but my mom’s house has been a Dove …
Disorder In The Court!
Here comes another one who hasn’t learned that trying to beat up court officials probably won’t work out so well. This one, after being held in contempt of court at a domestic violence hearing, tried to take out the judge. I guess she didn’t see court security, but they sure saw her. Down she went. …
A Piece of Computer History Come To Life
Woe. Here’s something you don’t see every day. A guy got his hands on a 1964 modem, and brought it online. This thing was as simple as she gets. It wasn’t even close to a digital modem. 300 Bod. Hello. You know what’s funny? My parents would have been around in this modem’s era, but …
Down With Helmets…And Vital Signs
Maybe it’s insensitive of me to laugh at the fate of Philip A. Contos, but oh well, what are ya gonna do? Motorcyclist killed in anti-helmet rally. He wasn’t wearing any head protection, lost control of his bike and pumpkin smashed his melon on the pavement. And naturally, police say he likely would have survived …

Roselle Is Gone
I just heard this a couple of days ago. Everybody and their brother’s cousin’s sister’s uncle has heard the story of Michael Hingson and his guide dog Roselle, and how they not only got out of the World Trade Centre on September 11, 2001, but how they helped others too. Well, she has passed away …
If It’s Not The Best Song Ever, Can We At Least Agree That It Beats The Hell Out Of Friday?
Good luck getting this out of your head. It might not be for everybody, but I seriously have tears in my eyes right now.
Violin Mario
Since we’ve had nothing else for you yet today and because this is pretty sweet, enjoy this video of a violinist playing along with the Super Mario Brothers game on the screen in the background. And when I say playing along with, yes, that does mean complete with coins, jumping and other sound effects. Colour …
Real-Feeling Unreality
A couple of people who I follow on Twitter were sending this around. I thought I’d link it here. Watch this video, and get an idea of what it feels like to have severe auditory and visual hallucinations. What uber weirded me out was someone knocked on my actual door at the spot where it …
