    June 26th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    What is Radical Openness and how does it affect the way you share information?

    We're positive you have been up late wondering this yourself, so don't miss a second of the action as TEDxToronto presents TEDGlobal 2012 streaming live from the ING Cafe.

    Admission is free and attendees are free to come and go from 8.45AM to 6.45PM on Thursday July 18.

    Heck, if you're really keen you can even RSVP here.

    Below is Ariel Garten from Toronto's own thought-computing startup Interaxon speaking at last year's TEDxToronto event.

  • Margaret Atwood Joins Wattpad

    June 26th, 2012 / Comments (2)

    Toronto’s Wattpad is having a big month. Hot on the heels of raising $17.3 million, they announced that Margaret Atwood will be joining their online membership, releasing a collection of poetry through the site thus solidifying herself as Canada's most digitally-literate 70+ year-old author.

    Wattpad allows authors to interact with fans, get immediate feedback on their work and engage with readers. It doesn’t, however, offer any way for authors to monetize their work. Yet.

  • Tonight in Toronto: #DevTO

    June 25th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    Created as a sort of support group for Developers, #DevTO is a monthly meet-up for Developers in Toronto.

    Whether you're a hardened, seasoned Developer or are just learning HTML, this monthly meet-up is a great way to meet other industry folks and to learn.

    This month's seems to be sold out, but there is a waiting list and you can always stop by the ING Cafe on Yonge St. and try your luck. There's pizza as well.

    We love seeing folks hosting great, educational meet-ups such as this. It's a good thing.

  • The Burger's Priest Adds New Secret Menu Item that You Cannot Verbally Order

    June 22nd, 2012 / Comments (2)

    Burger’s Priest has quickly achieved notoriety in Hogtown for their secret menu that contains items such as a cheeseburger literally sandwiched between two grilled cheese sandwiches (The Vatican), among others.

    Hipsters, foodies and local rags such as The Grid can’t seem to get enough this joint.

    Their latest secret menu item, called ‘Blue Steel’, must be ordered by making a face.

    Innovative marketing? Or an already ridiculous concept taken way too far?

    Let us know your thoughts in the comments because we’re honestly on the fence about this one.

  • Truth in Advertising From McDonalds

    June 20th, 2012 / Comments (2)

    In an attempt to be more transparent, or perhaps, an attempt to dodge issues regarding their ingredients — McDonalds takes viewers behind-the-scenes at a burger photoshoot.

    The video was created in response to an extremely insightful and intelligent consumer question and was shot at our second favourite McDonalds location right here in downtown Toronto. The King and Dufferin location retains the top position as its ambiance is unmatched.

    We suggest watching the video below in full-screen, preferably on a large high-resolution monitor.

    Bon appetit.
