Today is the 1st day of spring (in the northern hemisphere anyways)! W00t! Time to get outside and enjoy the sun.

I follow @levarburton on Twitter and noticed he was coming to Toronto today. He's going to be doing an interview with George on The Hour tomorrow.
LeVar decided to do an impromptu tweetup @ Hemingway's in Yorkville. Well, I ran my butt up there and got to meet him, shake his hand and got a picture of the 2 of us. w00t!

"The Forbes.com Web Celeb 25 is a list of the biggest and brightest stars on the Web. From penniless bloggers to geek entrepreneurs, these are the folks who are capturing eyes, influencing opinion and creating the digital world from the bottom up."

Leo Laporte & Kevin Rose are on the list. I've met 2 out of the 25. Although more then 1/2 of them I've never heard of.

Ricardo Montalban has passed away at the age of 88 in Los Angeles. To most people he is remembered as Mr. Roarke from Fantasy Island. To nerds he is remembered as Kahn from Star Trek (TV and the Wrath of Kahn movie). My favourite is probably Naked Gun. He was absolutely wonderfully evil in that movie. LA Times - 'Fantasy Island' actor Ricardo Montalban dies at 88

Today is the shortest day of the year. And starting tomorrow they days get longer. Thank goodness!

Many people have been referring to the coalition as a 'coup' or 'undemocratic'. But that is far from the truth. I think a lot of that comes from watching too much American TV. I have to admit I'm not that familiar with all the rules regarding the parliamentary system, but have been learning a lot the last few days.

The Conservative's greatest skill is understanding the minds of the ignorant and using that understanding in politics (Thanks to @buzzbishop for the quote). Hence some public outcry over what is going on in Ottawa.

There are many rallies for the coalition government this Saturday December 6th, 2008.
