RELAX.
What's the rush? You're not going to die soon.
Well, you're probably not going to die soon.
But, just in case you get hit by a bus as you cross the street late tomorrow afternoon, buy your friends a beer at your earliest convenience, alright?
What I believe
I believe it's futile to determine if there's a divine presence or not. I much prefer watching baseball to watching basketball, as baseball is far more exciting. I believe the greed of the few should not outweigh the needs of the many. And, like Crash Davis in Bull Durham, I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.

Search for information.
- Google
Is it spying on you? Who cares... it's just so good, I don't give a hoot.
- Internet Movie Database
Everything about every movie. Pretty darned addictive.
- All Music Guide
I can't tell you what an invaluable source of information this is. Artists, albums, songs, record companies, genres... this place has it all. Hence the name, All Music Guide.
- Wikipedia
Open-source information. Gotta love it.

Listen to music.
- CBC Radio 3
Best heard Saturday and Sunday nights, superseding Radio 2 on your local CBC dial. But, through the magic of the Inter-Web-Net, you can hear a streaming representation of cutting-edge Canadian music, anytime you like. Also, for a good time visit the companion New Music Canada site. And, for an even better time, check out this band.
- KEXP Seattle / KXLU Los Angeles
One of the best things about this "Interweb-network" thing is the availability of noncommercial radio stations from all around the world. Two of the best I've found are listed above... email me if you know of any other particularly excellent ones.
- Grossman's
Live music all the time, often featuring fantastic blues, oddly in the heart of Chinatown on Spadina in Toronto. Keep an eye out for CautionJam, a Grateful Dead-ish band that always has 'em dancin' in the aisles.

- London Free Press
Meh. Old habits die hard.
- ZNet
The best and most comprehensive alt-media site, anywhere. If stuff's going down in this world, the Z folks will catch it.
- Golden Words
Ah, GW. Brightening Wordsdays since time immemorial.
- The Daily Show with Jon Stewart
Biting sarcasm, witty satire, kickass host. What more could one ask for, except for delicious pie?
- Get Your War On
David Rees has been publishing these since just after 9/11. Thumb through them and quickly see why Rolling Stone picked him up to do a new strip every week.
