Jealous Animals is a microsite put up by the Toronto Zoo that I just happened upon when I was drawn in by the banner below.

Which reminded me of the classic Detroit Zoo ad that aired back in the 80’s.

As one might have gleamed from my write up of DemoCamp 3.0, I was half suspecting that the monthly “uncampference” would take a serious leap over the shark. I’m happy to say I don’t think it has, although it’s certainly not out of the lake (lake sharks?) yet.

I knew there was some, unforeseeable at the time, reason I moved to Toronto… and last night that reason revealed itself in the form of Lay’s new “Spicy Curry” flavored potato chips.

Tonight is the opening night of an art exhibit set to to “re-imagine the TTC”. The idea is to take away the ads and let the artists use what remains as a blank slate for their imaginations. While in the real world I don’t see the ads going anywhere, I appreciate the energy being spent […]

I thought I was the only one who spent my time on the subway platform positioning myself for maximum efficiency at the next stop. Little did I know there is even a portable map of each TTC station . So now even when […]
