I loved watching the construction of those towers. For a few years all they had were the signs and I was sure it would never look like that. And then even during the building they just looked like cylinders until completion. They are really awesome to right up from the bottom.

Guessing that's actually Mississauga.

The centre of the universe is slowly sucking Mississauga into itself so I'm just speeding things along.

Also, The New York Giants play in New Jersey.

I can't wait until the Oakland Raiders and San Francisco 49ers play an hour south in Santa Clara, but keep their city names. :P

On topic, Mississauga skyline is pretty impressive now compared to just a few years ago. Coming along the QEW heading west, it definitely stands out. Hopefully there's a rail link to the TTC eventually.

So, Toronto Meetup 2.5 at Playstation Canada?

[DoctorWho]

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/...vited-toronto/

I showed up to the last one of these and met a couple of Gaffers.

I'm most likely going to show up again. Got free games last time.

Edit: added_time troll pic... lol

Looking at the pictures on the PS Blog from the last of those events.

Jesus, what a sausage fest.

What were you expecting? :lol

To be fair, both Skyward Sword and 3DS midnight launch events were had a lot of lovely ladies. I guess Vita is a man's device. :P

Listen to Rob Ford on his favorite topic.

I'm telling you, he's trying to position himself to land an endorsement deal as the Canadian Jared.

I don't think Jared's face was constantly in a state of being ready to explode.

Jared was bigger. The only difference is Ford's face is always red because of the drinking.

I was wondering why it was at that location and it looks like PlayStation sponsored that space. I should be free to drop by. :)

[BladeWorker]

Oh, hey: TorontoGAF might be interested to hear that George Takei is narrating sci-fi music at the TSO. First concert today, last one tomorrow.

Any of you guys going to TCAF? I just realized it's coming up real soon.

Fo' sho'

Got my ticket to the Jeff Smith talk on Friday and everything.

Went to google it and this came up...



What exactly are you going to?

[Quadratic]

I'm going to TCAF. Probably only the Sunday.

I am headed to the Kid Koala concert Thursday night. My friend did some animation work for him and had an extra ticket for me.

Ford wants to buy a piece of park space behind his house because “Our primary concern is the safety of Douglas and Stephanie, our two young children, having a secure area to play. The addition of this parcel of land to our property would allow us to install a better security fence that will help to enhance the safety of our children,”

But of course The Fords did not explain why they believe buying the land would make them safer. Their backyard is already fully fenced.

Can this guy make anymore hilarious non-political news?

These guys are new to the Zoo

[EvilMario]

I haven't visited the zoo in years. I wish it was more easily accessible for a quick trip, but alas. Maybe this will be the year.

Fences need fences. DOUBLE FENCE.

[DopeyFish]

And star reporter caught taking pictures of fords backyard

Guess that explains the want for more security lol

(don't know who said star reporter, my dad said it... But he's heavy con so it could be BS)

It's kinda unfolding on cp24 right now... Rob ford running around his front lawn freaking out in pajamas

Wouldn't be surprised if it is a Star reporter. They're obsessed and always looking for something (albeit Ford makes it too easy for them). They're almost as sad as the Mayor himself, but the backyard thing was submitted prior to this. And even if they expand the backyard into the park though, it's already fenced, so how does this help? :/

Don't worry the only box stretchin' on me that'll be done is by Manics or Forza.

It was Daniel dale, the writer for the story posted earlier standing on cinder blocks on the public land in which ford was wanting to buy

Holy shit.......I guess the mayor owns all the land in Toronto now!

SUBWAYS!!!!!

Sure, the reporter probably should have waited for the daytime to check out the land but if hes on public land then the mayor can fuck right off

[Divvy]

http://www.thestar.com/news/article/...e-mayor-s-home

That story makes him sound like such a pansy. What's the mayor going to do, assault you? Why would you drop your voice recorder and cell phone and run away? Turn those on and start recording and you'll have the best defense ever. That being said, I've never faced down a stampeding Ford so maybe it's just that pants-shit-tingly terrifying.

310 pounds of anger running towards you would make you run.........still kind of weak that he dropped his stuff though

[Brinbe]

http://www.thestar.com/news/article/...e-mayor-s-home

Oh God...

Every time I tried to sidestep him to escape, he moved with me and yelled at me again to drop my phone. I became more frightened than I can remember; after two or three attempts to dart away, I threw my phone and my recorder down on the grass, yelled that he could take them, and ran. When I reached the park’s parking lot, a fair distance away, I approached two young men who were sitting in a car, asking them to use their phone. The mayor, looking in our direction, continued to shout, and I ran to my car and drove away.

bahahaha, really? That is hilarious.

Bloor St next to High Park in 1914.



Dundas and Bloor 1923.



I love photos like this. More at BlogTO http://www.blogto.com/city/2012/05/a..._bloor_street/

[dantehemi]

Cool. A friend of mine helped make that Sound Shapes game. Too bad I'll never own it since it's only on Vita. I can always borrow his though I guess! Toronto photo of the day:

I did the sprinklers at those buildings. I have been to the roof of all of them, ver very nice view ( once in the summer I actually took a nap on my lunch at the very top. It was so relaxing, the warm wind and all the street noise:) I actually still have master keys for some of the buildings I have done, not sure if I have these one though. And I have never used them after the job was done, I'm not sure the masters work once residents move in (think there is a pin in the locking mechanism they take out) but man would it be fun to just chill on top of a sky scraper at night and drink some beers 500 feet in the air :)

I'm no fan of Rob Ford (like all sane people) but there's no way I believe that Star reporter's bullshit.

Can anyone suggest the best place to buy a "fuzzy logic" rice cooker downtown?

I went to Neo Home and Tap Phong yesterday but the prices were way, way higher than they should be based off the prices I see online and the selection at Tap Phong was horrible.

I also went to this last year. It was nice to play with the Vita before launch. A buddy from work and I were recorded playing nhl 12. I guess we were hooting and hollering too much. I'll be checking this out again.

Personally, I don't believe either of them

[DoctorWho]

Yeah, I'm leaning toward this as well.

I think the media really needs to watch their step with Ford. I'm starting to see some sympathy for the guy. He does stupid stuff enough on his own, the media doesn't need to go out of their way to catch him in the act. He brings that shit to you.
