If I haven’t been posting too much…
… it’s only because I’ve spent the past month being the boy who can’t wait for Jonathan Coulton to come to Toronto. Well, last night he and squid-belly-barnacle opening band Paul and Storm (you hadda be there) came. First of two nights at the Lula Lounge, not quite a year after they came to the

Okay, the Yard didn’t endorse in the Canadian elections…
And look where that got us. Well, fool us once… We won’t make the same mistake in the oh-so-close American election. So, American yard-apes here goes. Don’t listen to these Russians. They’re obviously smitten. Listen to Obama Girl. She’s thinking straight. Alternatively, you can take a risk and go the classical route. Caligula for President:

Jonathan Coulton and Our Night Out
So yeah – Jonathan Coulton, Superstar of the American Internet, came up to see the Canadian Internet last night. And the Canadian Internet saw him back. At least we did: we being me, my partner Karen Fernandez, and Peter Watts and Laurie Channer. Karen, who knows her way around a Canon Powershot like no other,

Why Halloween is the happiest day of the year
Well, one of the reasons. This video is only a little less terrifying than yesterday’s cat video, if only because there’s no cat in it. Far as I can tell, it’s an amateur animation based on the Silent Hill video game series. But that doesn’t do it justice. It’s a nasty piece of business, in
