They’re building something huge just east of the Toronto Broadcasting Centre. And every single day at work, we get to watch them build it. Once in a while, the cranes lift something huge just a few feet from my desk.
The crew at Spark has been wanting one of these little cameras for a while now, but we haven’t got our hands on one yet. You see, as far as I can tell, they don’t ship to Canada. However, Al had a good idea: buy one on eBay. A quick search yields several sellers willing to ship to Canada.
Wait, scratch that. I just checked, and it seems TigerDirect.ca has them in stock.
A little more than a year ago, I picked up an Mbox Mini in hopes of teaching myself Pro Tools at home. I played around with it a for a bit, but I always seemed to fall back on other multitrack editors. Because I didn’t have to get good at it, I didn’t get good at it.
Then I started using Pro Tools at work, and once I knew what I was doing, my Mbox at home seemed much more appealing. Problem was, I’d upgraded my Mac to 10.5, and Pro Tools LE doesn’t play nice with 10.5.
After a long, frustrating period of silence following Leopard’s release, Digidesign has finally come out and apologized for taking so long to offer Leopard support.

Earlier this week, Jenna and I walked by the former Terroni at 106 Victoria, and saw a sign advertising the opening of “Osteria by Terroni.”
“Osteria” is the Italian word for tavern, and according to this thread on Chowhound, it may be a lunch place. When I lived on Victoria, we liked to go to Terroni for their Antipasto Misto, but curiously, since moving to Adelaide, the antipasto has disappeared.

Not that I’m particularly interested in the program they’re offering (Canada’s Next Great Prime Minister), but this is a huge step in the right direction. Now if they’d only release jPod and Sophie, two of the shows I already “illegally” download via Bittorrent.
