  • it was a Kalle Lasn quotation

    A beeping truck, backing up in the alley, jolts you out of a scary dream—a mad midnight chase through a supermarket, ending with a savage beating at the hands of the Keebler elves …

  • what day is it?

  • a tiny stub-tailed birdlet

    Our tree is filled with Ruby-crowned Kinglets, and the title is Peterson’s poetic description of them. I guess they’re feeding up to migrate a bit south. Give news of yourselves when you bring spring back with you!

  • a wee corner of Scotland at Ellesmere & McCowan

    Serendipity: took a wrong turn coming out of the
    federal building, and found ourselves in Scottish culinary heaven (which is not an oxymoron, I assure you).

  • EcoBunk Unplugged: the 15th Annual EcoBunk Awards

    TEA sez:

    EcoBunk Unplugged
    the 15th Annual EcoBunk Awards

    For advertising excellence in confusing the public & compromising the environment.

    Our annual fundraiser and comedy show pokes fun at the most outrageous corporate green advertising of 2005. Sometimes we even point the finger at ourselves. We present nominated ads under nine different categories and reveal the winner. The laughter lasts for two full hours.

    Of course, we don’t actually send awards to the winning companies.

    Come celebrate with us! Ecobunk is a popular and favourite event among the environmentally-minded in Toronto, Waterloo and points beyond.
