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 […]
My little Meraki-based public WiFi project has expanded south.
Marty Millionaire on the southwest corner of Queen and Parliament now has a repeater.
If you’re in the neighbourhood, look for SSID Corktown .
I’ve posted before about Fruity Cheerios, General Mills’ answer to Froot Loops. Though I’ve not yet done a side-by-side comparison, I presume that the two products are fairly similar.
This morning, during brunch at OK OK, I spotted the two rival products sitting right next to each other. Note that they are the only two cereals […]
Inspired by Peter Rukavina’s experiments with mesh networking, I ordered three Meraki Minis this week, and installed two of them this morning. One sits on a bookshelf in our living room, and the other points north out our back window.
You can see the status of the network, named Corktown, right here online. And if […]
I’m a little late posting this, seeing as the event was almost two weeks ago, but I have to say: the third Grownups Read Things They Wrote as Kids was an awful lot of fun.
It was also well-attended. Some might say a little too well-attended.
Thanks no doubt to some pimping by Torontoist, BlogTO, and Here […]
The intersection of Queen and Parliament — a major intersection in my new neightbourhood — seems to be undergoing a bit of a facelift these day. Part of me wonders if its a bit of the Leslieville revamp creeping east. About two years ago, a Shoppers Drug Mart appeared on the southeast corner:
Right next door […]
This past Sunday, I finished moving in with Jenna. And at midnight last night, my lease at 210 Victoria expired. There are many things I won’t miss about the Pantages, like the long elevator rides and crusty staff at security.
But boy, I’ll miss the view:
If you weren’t at the Smiling Buddha Bar this past Thursday, you missed something pretty special. A nice guy named Jay organized an evening called I Believe I Can Rhyme. David Topping over at Torontoist wrote about it, and I showed up at the event expecting a simple screening of Trapped in the Closet. I […]
So they’re knocking down the building across the street from my old house. A few weeks ago, fences and concrete barricades surrounded the sidewalk, and suddenly I couldn’t park my bike there anymore.
Then, sometime over the past couple of days, they started knocking it down. Last night, on our way to the Imperial, I took […]
On Saturday afternoon, Jenna and I went to the Hero Certified Burger at King and Yonge for lunch. I grabbed a handful of those little ketchup packets, and noticed that Heinz now prints Trivial Pursuit questions on their single-serving ketchups:
This is a great idea.
But it falls short online. As far as I can tell, the […]
