On the topic of time travel, I've been brainstorming with a friend who is currently enrolled in the physics program at UofT. We've been throwing ideas back and forth like a baby tossing party, attempting to determine an actual calculation to represent the amount of distance covered relative to the time travelled as discussed two posts ago.
As soon as I have a more concrete understanding of the calculations, we will have a little fun determining the schematics of it all.
One thing I didn't take into account was the spherical nature of the big blue marble we live on and how travelling east through time on an axis could result in being displaced above the earth's surface, or even worse, within the earth itself.
Interesting notions made even more interesting with the help of a spleef roughly the size of newborn's forearm.

Kudos to today's Toronto Star sports section for its coverage of sports that don't end with 'ball'. Allocating full-pages for the Australian Open tennis, Canadian Figure Skating Championships and Short Track Speed Skating the day after the NFL Conference Finals is worth noting.
I have criticized the Star often in the past, much of it stems from an interview I had there, but also the talent they have and the fact that they more often then not fail to use it.
Much respect to Dave Feschuk for his coverage of the Raptors - it's stellar, and to Cathal Kelly for covering European soccer. Any fans of English soccer who are not mentally challenged and support a club other then Manchester United, today's piece by Kelly is a must read. Covering a socccer event locally, I met Mr. Kelly. He knows he's talented without being told as much - read between the lines if you please.
Peter Howell is also a talented film writer and Ben Rayner has chops when it comes to covering music - besides that, the paper is absolute rubbish and were it just a little softer to the touch, I wouldn't even wipe my ass with it. The New York Times inserts (Business section and Book review) are a nice touch, but it does nothing but to identify just how terrible the writing is in The Star.
For all the criticism the Toronto Sun receives, at least it knows its audience and caters to it. The Star wouldn't know its ass if it took a massive crunch in its mouth.
Here's a massive tune from Katy B for y'all to enjoy and an absolute banger from Magnetic Man feat. Katy B. Peace wardies.
