A local winfall-produce group is organising a program to tap Toronto's maple trees. One of those headsmack ideas that makes you wonder how no one has come up with it before now.

Holy crap. Bizarre video, noteworthy for featuring a team of American Football players parading around George Square without a single stabbing incident. I imagine the short-lived introduction to this sport in Glasgow was one of the few things Rangers and Celtic fans could agree upon: "American Football" is utter shite.

**EDIT**

A Wikipedia search for Glasgow Diamonds reveals an equally funny - but more Glaswegian - take on the team history.

Steve Jobs named CEO of the Decade. Love him or hate him (and most will do both, equally), there's no denying that he is a true visionary.

Most dangerous fuel-tank access EVER.

The baby-snatcher formerly known as BumApples resents those who thumb-up their own sites, but what can I say - I'm shameless. Given that my very StumbleUpon existence was founded upon the intention of promoting my other web store, I think six years' worth of restraint is cause for some spam-happy celebration.

On that note, get yer bird-themed gift items here!

The Toronto Star is making some cutbacks, and one of their wilier editors makes a case for continued employment.

An interesting development: An argument against the SU upgrades quotes me at length, but is written for, and commented upon by, SEO types. When the author complains of quality Stumblers leaving the system, is she referring to the ones I miss, or the SEO quasi-spammers who were the topic of a previous complaint I made about SU's declining quality? On the list of reasons I'm losing interest in this community, I would argue that the departure of my favourite Stumblers outranks the usability changes, though in some cases the latter is responsible for the former.

And just as a further mind-fuck, I seem to be alone in finding the latest SU iteration as an improvement over the v3 I lambasted in the post quoted by this article.

U2 puts on a show at the site of the Berlin Wall, then erects a huge fence preventing those without tickets from watching. The irony is lost on no one but Bono.
