The Toronto garbage strike game "Trash Wars" combines the worst of two urban realities we're facing recently - the union strike (that's made dumps of our city parks), and guns.

Too bad the game concept isn't very creative. Or the game-play all that fun.

For those on Twitter, the fake Peter Mansbridge has proven to be a constant source of hilarity and mundane insight. From the account's beginnings during last year's federal election, fake-Mansbridge has grown into more than just a political parody, but an amusing caricature of the CBC's beloved newscaster. In today's post, I get to chat with the shadowy figure behind The 'Bridge, and see what it takes to impersonate The National's main man.

Forget about finding the perfect place to park - just a few days ago, you'd have to find your way around the Green P website first.

Thankfully, the Toronto Parking Authority is the latest city service to bring their online offering up to speed with the rest of the web, launching a redesigned website today that improves upon its predecessor in almost every way possible.

I have a feeling that I was a bit of a strange kid growing up; I was probably the only one to actually relish the chance to visit a museum on my free time. After all, the thought of actually learning something while not in school was ludicrous, no?

Every time I went, I would have this strange urge to touch everything - displays, models, and especially those little audio tour buttons that would drone monotonous narratives at my young self. And though I'm many years older, I doubt little has changed.

New at the Bata Shoe Museum exhibit, is a series of audio tours installed throughout the building - but with a twist. There are no red buttons or audio booths to be found. In fact, all you need is probably already in your pocket.

While I'm sure it was just a coincidence, there was still something ominous about the Bell truck briefly idling outside the Gladstone Hotel last night. Had they caught wind of our discussion? Had Bell sent their lackeys to quash our dissent, I chuckled quietly to myself, as I stared out the window?

Of course, there was nothing truly sinister about last night's Open Internet Town Hall, hosted by SaveOurNet.ca. Instead, the evening proved to be a successful one, full of drinks, discussion, and most importantly, a focus on net neutrality. Yet, at times, it seemed as if that focus was hard to reach.

Fake Twitter accounts are nothing new, but this one, playing up CityNews anchors' OMFG-style headlines a la Anne Mroczkowski, was new to me when I stumbled upon it yesterday and proceeded to laugh out loud more than once.

"Not everything you think of as a vegetable is one. Tonight I reveal which are secretly fruits in disguise. More than meets the eye. News @ 6," tweets Annie Mroczkowski.
