I came across this quite by accident, but it has got to be one of the coolest things that I have ever seen on YouTube.

Seriously, check this out:

I really and truly wish that I had at least half the talent that this dude named “Harvey Artifex” has been blessed with. It is completely mind-boggling that he would be able to draw Hugh Laurie’s face that well, and to that detail. Incredible.

My hat is off to you, sir.

Driving up to Don Mills, the Gardiner was empty. Only a few cars going east with us, but westbound was completely barren. Listening to 680 news later on, turns out there is some construction going on until noon.

Last night, Seth, Molly, and I went to see Zombieland at the Scotiabank Theatre (the old Paramount), and it was a frikkin’ blast… and yes, pun intended. I had heard next to nothing about this movie, and the few times I did see a commercial about it, it was while at the pub and so the sound was off. All I knew was at it had zombies, and Woody Harrelson in it, and that was good enough for me. Thankfully, it didn’t disappoint.

If you’re on the fence about seeing this movie, yet loved “Shaun Of The Dead”, then you MUST see this movie. There are funny moments, scary moments, and WTF moments. I haven’t been this in to a movie in quite some time, where I was rooting for the characters and wondering what was going to happen next. I kept waiting for the next smart-ass line, and was rewarded often.

Honestly, I would see this movie in the theatres again, and that is a rarity for me. I am most definitely getting it when it comes out on Blu-ray.

I’m not one to try and give a movie five stars out of five, or ten out of ten; I loved it, and if you have the same sense of twisted humour as me, you’ll love it to.  

1. At what age do you think it’s appropriate for someone to get their driver’s license?

In Ontario, the youngest age someone can get their license is 16, and that’s fine by me. We have graduated licensing, which means that they have restrictions for the first few years before they get a full license. That’s a good thing as it cuts down on some of the recklessness that kids of that age have, especially on the road. However, for someone like me who never got around to getting their license, the restrictions are a bit of a pain in the ass, especially considering I’m 31, and quite a responsible person these days.

No, really, I am! I swear!  

2. At what age do you think it’s appropriate for someone to first drink alcohol?

When they’re old enough to know what a hangover is, and suffer through it without bitching.

3. At what age do you think it’s appropriate for someone to become sexually active?

If it’s my kid, when they’re old enough to know that if they end up having a child before they’re ready (as in, have finished school and have an established career) that I’ll kill them. 

4. At what age do you think it’s appropriate for someone to vote in elections affecting national and/or local government?

When they’re old enough to have a personal opinion about what they’re voting on, and truly understand what having a vote means.

5. At what age do you think it’s appropriate for someone to be conscripted for military service?

Never. It should be an individual choice, and not something that someone is forced into. That being said, however, I’m going to encourage my kid(s) to serve in the military for a bit when they are in their teens. It’s good to have some discipline in your life at that age if you don’t already have some.

Now available in Toronto: one of the coolest features for Google Maps, and also one that has caused some people to wonder about their privacy! Not only can you look up someone’s address on a map, and also get directions there, but you can now pull up a 360 view from the street so you know what the place look like when you get there. Stalkers, your job just got a whole lot easier!

We Canadians are generally a polite and passive bunch, get sometimes we either don’t like what you’re doing and will say so, or we just like to mess with ya. It’s hard to figure out if this guy down on Adelaide St. was irritated at seeing the Google Maps truck, or just decided to have some fun. His face is blurred so we can’t see a smile if there is one, but you be the judge:

I find it amusing that the folks at Google Maps would take the time to blur out his face, yet not the middle finger. Or the cup of Tim Horton’s.  

Thanks to Molly for sending that my way.
