Upcoming Events The great concert came, and went. The arguing continues. Who cares. Buy the DVD when it's released. Toronto is still a happening place. There were many events planned for the summer in Toronto, beside the hastily arranged concert. I've documented a few on my blog, as I wanted to make it to those events. Here's what you haven't missed yet (and I'm hoping to get to):
  • August 8-10: Taste of the Danforth - it's more than just food, and it's more than just Greek food. There are lots of events planned, stuff for kids to do, etc., while the food will not be just Greek. If you've been down Danforth recently, you'll realize that the street is more than just little Greece.
  • August 9-10: The Distillery District Outdoor Art Exhibition - I've never heard of this one, but it's art... outdoors.
  • September 4-13: Toronto International Film Festival - over 300 films, in more than 50 languages. All in one week!
  • September 28: The Word on the Street - this sounds like a cool event. A one day outdoor book and magazine festival!

    The first chef

    First came fire ... and then, as the camera shifts to the soon to be late-village idiot, you're left wondering -- just what was going through that mind -- and food is put on the fire, for the first time, and cooking is accidentally discovered by humanity. The first chef is ridiculed by grunts, then the local thug tries a sample of the burnt carcass, and soon, everybody gets queued at the McDonalds drive-thru. What happened? Richard Wrangham of Harvard believes there's more to cooking than evolutionary history would have you believe. Wrangham points out that there is no way homo sapiens could survive on just raw food. Raw food just doesn't give up calories as easily as cooked food -- and raw food makes the digestive system expend more energy to get at those calories. Cooking on the other hand breaks complex molecules down, allowing the digestive system to make easy work of them -- and cooking also softens food, allowing the body to get to the calories with less effort...

    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.
