Also, it was all down hill after they started these "Everybody in " ads. And this is the best of all the Gap Khaki ads.

She is the hotness. She's been in other stuff to, but I can never remember what.

I think it's her again in this commercial, at 00:16:

I also recognize Regina King (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005093/) at 00:08.

Anyway, Gap was actually cool then. What happened?

Well my hole is the beantown.

Are the plans realy not cheaper? Don't the lack of fees and stuff like per-sec-billing make it cheaper?

Although Canadian cell phone plans are utter crap in general

May 1, 2008 07:55 PM

Yeah, there's not much difference .. and the ads are pretty funny .. haha

matt.. i could've told u that.. remember that year I worked at the school.. well anywayz .. good luck with ur topic searching.

Perhaps you should just try to pick a topic that's publishable. When I worked at the school's journal, we often publish people's thesis which in turns become their launching pad for getting published in other journals. You'd be surprised at how far one publication (peer-reviewed) would carry you!

and if my experience at the journal is in any way indicative of what other journals are like, then you should pick a topic that's unique but contributes to existing scholarship. Doing a curial search on library and journal database would get you somewhere.

I think that's the difference between 'hard sciences' fields versus the 'soft sciences and humanities' fields. It is much more easy to say something is already done in 'science', due to its greater universality.

In 'humanities', a topic could be done to death, but just the geographical variables used could be what makes the research 'original'. Therefore it's hard to track whether something is already done or not-- so I don't blame my advisor one bit.

Essentially, I could measure employment accessibility in Waterloo, and that would be considered original, since the conditions are different. It will help to 'uncover' more of the puzzle. But, I don't know if I want to go down that route.

when you think of a topic, wouldn't your advisor be able to tell you if it's been done already so you don't waste your time?

Yes, it's a little bit pricey for sure. I believe from Unionville to Union Station right now is $5.55 for a one-ride fare.

Nope, I have never been to CaseCamp events. I've been seeing them around, but I am still not clear as to the purpose of the event.

All day? That sounds like a, at least, 20-30% price increase. It's already almost $6 for a one-way trip (not in a 10 ride, single trip) so I can't imagine how much more pricey it'll be by the time this is implemented in '09-'10.

BTW Matt, do you ever go to those CaseCamp/interactive industry type events?

April 20, 2008 08:49 PM

You are exactly right.

Many GO Train lines operate uni-directional service. The GO Stouffville, Milton, Richmond Hill and Barrie lines only operate train service toward Union Station in the morning, and away from Union Station in the afternoon.

explain in plain language please. Bi-directional? so what were you on before, unidirectional train? so the train just goes downtown but never comes back up?

I sound like a ditz don't I? well I bet a lot of people south of Markham are asking the same questions.

April 12, 2008 12:10 AM

Haha. We're working on the money matters as we speak :)

April 10, 2008 10:14 AM

does this mean you'll be treating me out to lunch when I come to visit next week? Or does the money actually go towards making things green? :P

April 10, 2008 12:10 AM

Congrats to you and your team!

April 10, 2008 10:12 AM

Are you telling me that if I was working at Urban Strategies I could possibly be interacting with your supervisor. God Damn it. Why am I not working at Urban Strategies!? Oh wait.. they rejected me... diss.

I wonder why our firm didn't go after the UW master planning update. We seem to be doing every other universities master plan.. booo..

i don't think they will. it would block the orange giant block letters that reads museum.

i really wish someone would donate to fix up the bathrooms in Finch. or the one at Bloor. or Eglinton. and Sheppard. nothing beats peeing in the dark.

April 10, 2008 12:41 AM

I wonder if they're going to put the overhang signs at Museum like the Sheppard Subway.

This doesn't compare to the original Korean version. Damn Americans...they have to botch everything they touch! lol

okay, turns out it's a rumour.

March 27, 2008 07:08 PM

Nope, I don't think there are any plans for a campus in Mississauga.

tiff
March 27, 2008 04:53 PM

and is it true that rumours has UW expanding to Mississauga? that would be quite interesting - and hopefully spur up some more support for better regional transit.

March 7, 2008 06:31 PM

Um.. I'm glad you go to UW .. Otherwise I'd be worried someone would kick your ass instead of "checking for [your] smiling faces on [the] posters and bookmarks."

You're so famous Matt! I'm jealous.

I smell a potential story idea. The Torontoist column is a nice little rant that provides a great springboard for some more in depth reporting. Thanks for sharing, Matt!

March 3, 2008 08:41 PM

MM is trying to be MTV which is irritating... There are so many crappy celeb gossip shows, plus that one "totally untrue hollywood story", which I can't believe is even a show. but I AM totally addicted to Randy Jackson's America's Best Dance Crew lol...

February 28, 2008 11:56 AM

I wouldn't worry. I don't think this site is particularly scandalous. Better than your facebook profile being your first hit.

in your bizarro world, you are a public interest lawyer!

February 28, 2008 12:49 AM

Fuz, I think I'm perpetuating the situation by linking to it. I'm so dumb.

February 27, 2008 09:54 PM

Am I missing something?

I should google my name. Haven't done that in a while!
