Remember that fast food in real life never looks like its photos.
Yup, you can now get carbs stacked on carbs with a pizza whose toppings are “shaved seasoned steak, crispy fries, cheese curds and mozzarella”. The other new flavours are: Creamy Butter Chicken, Asian BBQ, Grilled Chicken Club and Smoky Maple Bacon.
This lovely lady is a swing dancer and would like to be able to go dancing with me:
While I’m quite familiar with swing music (I’m uncool enough to like jazz) and can even play a little, I’m terrible at swing dancing. In fact, I’m terrible at all dancing. I’d like to get better, which is why I’m asking Toronto folks who dance: where’s a good place for a guy like me to learn? Let me know in the comments, and help me not dance like this:

Ten and Six Years Ago…
Ten years ago yesterday, Canada’s first same-sex wedding took place, and the marriage is still going strong (in fact, it’s run twice as long as my guy-girl one). Congrats to Michael Leshner and Michael Stark!
I was just reminded by Amanda that six years ago last Friday, I got to play a small part in a same-sex wedding at City Hall, and six years ago today, I posted an article about it: A Craigslist Wedding. It was an honour and a privilege to play at Julie and Amanda’s wedding, and I was only too happy to take them out for a drink at Smokeless Joe’s afterwards!
Are you a vegetarian or vegan who’s looking for recipes that aren’t so hippy flower-child-like? Are you an omnivore who’s into gangsta rap and looking for some tasty side dishes? If you answered “yes” to either, you’ll love Thug Kitchen, the site that cooks like Morrissey, but talks like Fitty!
Check out the graphics for the recipes below; click on them to get the 411. Be warned, the site’s name is Thug Kitchen, so the language gets a little salty…
Oddly enough, Thug Kitchen got the attention of Gwyneth Paltrow, who sang its praises on the Rachael Ray show:

Dan Ackerman tweeted the scene above, with the text “WWDC explained in one photo”. It probably should be “Tech in one photo”. We’ve got a way to go before women are better-represented in our field.
More proof that there’s a Tumblr for everything: the latest new Tumblr is inspired by the NSA scandal and titled Obama is Checking Your Email. It features nothing but photos of Barack Obama looking at various computer, smartphone and other electronic device screens, presumably using PRISM to see what you’re going on about.
