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 .

Mesh network update
Trajan: The Movie Font
Via the Spark blog, a very funny video from Kirby Ferguson:
Not only is it chuckle-worthy, but it features CC music from Halifax synth popsters Windom Earle. What more could you ask for?
Rocking and rolling, again
According to thecanaries.ca, we’re playing a couple of shows in the next little while:
23 Feb 2008 @ The Smiling Buddha Bar
4 Apr 2008 @ Clinton’s
Should be fun. Perhaps you can make it out.
Radio Lab and The Sound of Young America, together at last
Last summer I wrote about how great Radio Lab is. Earlier this month I called The Sound of Young America “my new favourite radio show.”
So imagine my delight when I heard Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich’s appearance on The Sound of Young America. If you’re at all a fan of either show, grab this episode. [...]
Me on GO! this weekend
Need a reason to wake up super-early on a Saturday morning, trudge out into Toronto’s frigid February cold, and visit the CBC Broadcast Centre for a taping of GO?
I’ll give you three:
The kalimba stylings of Laura Barrett
Something called a “Facebook Faceoff”

I’m on GO this weekend and next. Free tickets are still available for both shows.
Jim Dupree: Photography Enthusiast

What do you do with misdirected email?
For a few months now, I’ve been getting email addressed to my dmisener@gmail.com account from a guy named Keith. The emails haven’t been for me, but rather for someone named Diane Misener. Apparently we have very similar email addresses.
For months, I simply deleted Keith’s email. I know I shouldn’t have, but I deleted the first [...]
Unlimited data from Rogers. Not.
It’s a few days old now, but Torontoist has a great post on how the new unlimited data plan from Rogers is actually very limited. My unlimited data through Fido should last another two months, but I have no idea what I’ll do when it expires, now that I’m addicted to their ubiquitous (though slow-as-molasses) [...]
Stream full episodes of the Vinyl Cafe
Looking for full episodes of The Vinyl Cafe on-demand?
You won’t find them at the show’s site on cbc.ca. You won’t find full episodes in their podcast, either.
But if you head over to PRX.org and sign up for a free account, you can listen to full episodes of The Vinyl Cafe (including upcoming repeats) in their [...]
Fruity Cheerios & Froot Loops
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 [...]
