And hopefully this new CS guy will actually have some clout. I would not be all that surprised if this is just a move to appease the public.

Winter Olympics to Demo Thought-Controlled Lighting Apparently the lights are being controlled by the minds of people in Vancouver: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/02/thought-controlled-lights/ Maybe that explains all the UFO-esque spinning lately.

Even if it were the purest water on earth, I don't know how many people would swim. Lake Ontario is bloody COLD.

From the Urban Decoder in Toronto Life: Woo! Free marble! :D

You're right, I don't need to believe in anything that has already been proven incorrect. It's the stuff science has no explanation for that requires filling in. That's why it's called faith. When logic has been exhausted, what do you do? You can abandon your problem, or you make an assumption...

Yeah, exactly. Why is that ridiculous? There is no need for faith or beliefs when you know a thing. You only need to have faith about the stuff you CAN'T know, the uncertain stuff. And I'm not saying everyone needs to fill that gap. If you don't feel a need to, great. Carry on, as you were...

There is no 'faith' or 'believing' necessary in science. Science is just about finding the explanation that best fits what we observe. Whatever works. If tomorrow we observe something that doesn't fit the existing model, then the model gets re-evaluated. Classical mechanics were good enough for...

IMO there are very very few movies comparable to Grave of the Fireflies in terms of sheer emotional impact. I saw it once around 15 years ago and still my stomach sort of clenches when I think of it. I'd like to watch it again one day, but I'd have to psyche myself up first, stock up on tissues...

There is one at 312 Queen West.

I'm hoping for manatees.

Even if you are an introvert, the isolation of working at home will get to you after a while, especially if you live alone. You will have to purposefully schedule outings to get your dose of sun and socialization. If at all possible, work in a room with a door. I don't have one on my home...

Now that is either just crazy talk or good old trolling.

And then we could pave Yonge Street with yellow bricks.

And if Portugal suddenly had a decent hockey team, I wouldn't think Portuguese-Canadians would be jumping off the Team Canada bandwagon all too fast either. Sports loyalties are funny, emotional, illogical things. If I moved to Sweden, I wouldn't be cheering for the Swedish hockey team if they...

The trains are part of it though. Many more people there rely on transit -- so if you want to have a night out on the town, you have to commit to staying out all night long. With such an early 'curfew' it's real easy to get stranded. (On the other hand you see people who want to catch the last...

It's open now! Haven't been by myself, but I just spotted a review on Chowhound. Can't wait to eat there -- I've been to their Vancouver locations and they're always ridiculously packed.

The barriers are permanent now.

Yes, Museum was much better before. I especially hate the colour of the walls; it reminds of dirty Silly Putty. They looked dingy even when they were newly installed.

Exactly. 3.2 million people visited Wonderland in 2006, which is more than 3 times the amount of people who visit the ROM. It'd be damn stupid to exclude anything that attractive from any Toronto tourism strategy. Besides, it's not like it's all that far away. Wonderland is just as far from...

10 seconds from bed to office.
