Last month's Metronauts unconference was a success in many ways. Not only was the event registered to capacity, but the ideas and and conversations that were introduced that day continue to be the focus of discussion both on the Metronauts website and in transporation policy discussion across the GTA and Hamilton.

Missed the last Metronauts event? Couldn't make it that weekend? Waited too long to register and it was oversubscribed?

Well, now you've got another chance to have your voice heard and participate in the discussions around the future of transportation in Toronto and its neighboring communities.

You've been to CiRCA before, but I'm sure you've never been to a shindig there like the one going down this Tuesday: the SummerCamp Dance Party.

Unlike the parties that typically take place at this award-winning Toronto nightclub, organizer Mark Kuznicki (who is teaming up with CaseCamp organizer Eli Singer to bring us the special soirée) claims that this Tuesday's event transforms CiRCA into" ground zero for Toronto's creative communities: art, design, communications, technology, media, social change and entrepreneurship."

The 5th annual Ryerson University Film Festival (RUFF) — a weekend-long showcase of the thesis film projects by the graduating students of Ryerson's School of Image Arts — kicks off in two weeks, and if you haven't already made plans to be there, make sure you do now.

The films you see at the festival may end up being a piece of history: graduates of Ryerson's programme may just be the future big names in Canadian cinema.

Hot Docs kicks off this week, and while Tim gave you a fantastic preview of what to watch yesterday, if you're still looking for a few more recommendations, here's a fresh list of seven films that weren't on yesterday's picks.

Top Pick

Standard Operating Procedure — Picking an Errol Morris documentary might be the fashionable and predictable thing to do, but Morris' most recent film is breathtakingly powerful. Detailing the atrocities at Abu Ghraib and going deep into the minds of the people that were in the middle of the abuse, Standard Operating Procedure is disturbing and enlightening at the same time. The accompanying film website is pretty powerful itself.

One of the great topics of discussion that came out of Metronauts Transit Camp this past Saturday was the integration of different modes of transportation for commuters. Right now, there is no central place a commuter can visit to find out about transit schedules, parking fares, and bike paths, all intersecting with each other.

StopFinder is setting out to change all that. Using Google Maps technology, StopFinder is making it easier to access information about public transit and parking in the GTA, and most importantly, making it easier for commuters to make their travels around the city as efficient as possible.

With the temperatures in the double digits this past weekend and lots of sun predicted in the weeks ahead, it finally looks like spring has arrived in Toronto. And when spring arrives, my mind (and stomach) keeps thinking about great ice cream and gelato.

Luckily, Toronto does not suffer from the problem of having a shortage of places to get good gelato. Instead, our problem is the inverse: with so many places to go, what are the best gelato shops in our city? We threw the question over to you, our readers, during our Best of Toronto survey, and after a very close race, we finally found this city's supreme gelateria.
