Seen at Outer Layer while walking about during last week’s vacation in Toronto, along with this fridge magnet.
See this entry from my second visit to Tampa to see what I’m talking about.
I prefer to call them “Moosewegians”.
Canada may be the country next door — on the other side of the world’s longest undefended border — and it’s the United States’ biggest trading partner, but you wouldn’t know it from this episode of the game show Jeopardy!. One of the second-round categories of a recent game was “Canadian Cities”, and the contestants avoided it like the plague until there wasn’t any choice. That’s when the hilarity (well, it was hilarious to this Canadian) ensued. Watch the video below to see how terribly wrong things went:

Thanks to Tod Gemuese for the find!
I would ask: “Why can’t it be both?”
The teaser trailer for the upcoming Steve Jobs film, written by Aaron Sorkin and directed by Danny Boyle, is out! Watch to video above to see:
- Michael Fassbender as Jobs,
- Jeff Daniels as John Sculley, whom Jobs brought on board for his marketing expertise, and who later took over as CEO,
- Kate Winslet as Joanna Hoffman, who joined the Macintosh team, wrote the first draft of the Mac Human Interface Guidelines, followed Jobs to NeXT, and who was reputed to be one of the few people who could stand up to Jobs regularly,
- and Seth Rogen as Woz!
While the previous Steve Jobs film had an actor who bore a striking resemblance to Jobs…
…this film boasts a better writer, a better director, and much better actors (although there’s something to be said about Woz being played in the previous film by the guy who voiced Olaf from Frozen).
For comparison’s sake, here are Jobs and Woz as seen in Steve Jobs…
…and here they are as they appeared in real life back then:
Seen last night at The Dirty Shame, a lovely dive bar in Ybor City. They could’ve extended the rhyme with “Try the alley / But don’t let the cops see”.
Governor Larry Hogan (a Republican, of course) announced on Thursday that $68 million lawmakers set aside for schools will now go to the state’s pension system, of which Baltimore would have received over $11 million. He explained the decision by saying “there is no magical pot of money”.
State officials did approve something for young people: a $30 million, 60-bed jail to house Baltimore teenagers charged as adults, a step to address years of concern about the practice of housing young city defendants alongside adults. In doing so, they were violating the law by keeping the youths in the same facility as grown-ups, where teens often are secluded and do not receive school or other services while incarcerated. See? Go to jail, get funded education!
Of course, you need more police to put people in jail, and that’s been taken care of, too. Governor Hogan also announced that he’s diverting funds meant for an art center to state police. “I am a huge proponent of the arts, and the first lady is a former member of the Anne Arundel County Arts Council. But in the current environment, a State Police barrack in our state capital and adequate funding for public safety in Annapolis must be the priority.”
And the way he’s going, that current environment he speaks of will be around for a long time.
The lesson to learn from Baltimore and Maryland is this:
