The Hillbilly Gypsies – “Devils Dream”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TX1joQgf6Tg Man, say what you will about YouTube, but I’ve spent the past hour looking for “obscure” 17th century folk tunes, and I’ve found every one. This rendition of The Devil’s Dream is particularly jiggy, in the 17th century sense of the word…

http://www.freeprintable.com/free-printable-paper?page=2 Forget flash and hype: This is the kind of site that makes the Internet a fabulous thing. You may only need graph paper, or music sheets once in a blue moon, but you know that when you need them, they’re but a click away. Terrif.
cheapeats toronto – Torontos best-selling restaurant guide to good quality, high value meals
http://www.cheapeatstoronto.com/ BumApples‘s curry quest has put me in mind of my friend Alexa’s pet project, the Cheap Eats series.

http://www.csshippingcontainers.co.uk/wordpress/ The exciting world of Shipping Containers and what they can be used for! Forgive them the exclamation point – I’m not sure shipping containers deserve one, though I full admit that a plain old period doesn’t quite cover them.

http://www.workopolis.com/work.aspx?action=Transfer&View=Content/Common/WorkLoginView&lang=EN&theme=work While I’m on the subject (and still trying to get my enthusiasm going), I’ll forego bitching about how terrible Monster.com is, and instead heap praise on Workopolis.

The craft we all mocked when it took its first problematic flight has redeemed itself a million times over with the incredible photos it regularly sends back. It’ll be missed. Atlantis’ astronauts gingerly dropped the Hubble Space Telescope overboard Tuesday, sending the restored observatory off on […]
Cariibean Fruits
http://www.tntisland.com/fruits.html One of the best things about living in Toronto (in my opinion, the finest – and truest – multicultural city in the world) is the abundance of exotic produce available for our immigrant population to have a taste of home. Almost all of the fruits listed on this page are available at a single, […]
