Harbourfront Centre Festivals Ah ... summer. It's not quite here yet. Today it was freezing, the rain was pouring, and from my desk at the office, I was sure I saw specks of white stuff floating in the air (no, I'm not going to say it). Coming home tonight, I had to have the heater on in the car. It was cold. Regardless, summer is coming. It's inevitable (say that with an Agent Smith voice). WIth summer time, are my plans to take in the free shows at Harbourfront - my youngest will hopefully find some of these appealing, as she is the only one I can possibly count on for some consistent company at these events:
  • Sol Soulstice: June 20-22
  • Anthems & Icons: June 27-29
  • Labatt Blue's Festival: July 4-6
  • World's Fare: The America's Now: July 10-13, 18-20
  • Francophonix: July 25-27
  • Free Flicks: Weekly, July 3-Aug. 23 (This for my eldest and I.)
  • Guinness Island Soul: Aug. 1-4
  • Masala! Mehndi! Masti!: Aug. 8-10
  • Gobsmacked!: Aug. 15-17
  • Stella Artois Hot & Spicy Food Festival: Aug. 22-24
  • Fresh: Aug. 29-Sept. 1
    • I went to the Harbourfront summer festivals last year. It was amazing! Great food, a few great shows - notables were the Blue's Festival, Island Soul, and the Hot & Spicy Food Festival. If you want to see the see pictures from the festivals last year, be sure to check out my webshots accounts (left column). I'll be there this year again with my digital camera. Hopefully no one takes it away from me.

    Inner Cow

    This has got to be one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen. Researchers cut holes into the sides of cows and insert an cannula, which allows access to a live animals stomach. These holes are so big, you can actually see what's going on inside -- literally, reach into the stomach of a cow. Cows stomach have millions microbes that aid in digestion, and surprisingly, cannulated cows are usually the healthiest of the herd. You would think that walking around with a hole in your stomach would be bad for you, but apparently not. Some farmers apparently keep cannulated cows in their herd so they can serve as microbe donors to sick cows. Just bizarre. [Source: Oddity Central ]

    ChomskyTorrents.org

    If you're going to pirate movies online, why go for the crap Hollywood puts out when you have options like those listed at BitTorrent site, C homsky T orrents.org ? The site describes itself as a gathering place for torrents with progressive and radical content. As for now, it preserves a special place for the work of American dissident Noam Chomsky, as the domain name suggests. I didn't know Chomsky was a dissident -- but I suppose that's one way of describing him in the current American environment.
