Well, that didn't take long: Toronto Life has pulled the plug on Philip Preville's City State blog, on James Chatto's Chatto's Digest, and probably on Doug Bell's Spectator, too. Chatto was gone as of June 19, and today Preville wrote a post on City State that first read (in our RSS reader, at least) that "City State is being discontinued as of this post, as is its sister blog, Doug Bell’s wonderfully amusing Spectator, so......

Amid all the cute overloading our recent Internet history, all the LOLcatz and YouTube Charlies, we began to feel that something very important was missing. We just couldn't figure out what it was. Did we need more plush? More anime? More stuff on our cats? No, no, no. We needed... Cute. Boys! Yes, there is now a blog devoted exclusively to the pursuit of happy, daydreamy, or hipsterishly sullen boy faces. Honest, we don't......

Jeremy Bell and Jessica Lax are just like your average young married couple, but with about ten-times the ambition. What started out as a simple plan of buying a new house in which to raise a family has ballooned into a large-scale building project—and they want you along for the whole thing by following their magnificent blog. After doing a quick Google search, Bell was surprised to learn that there hasn’t really been a......

If you're a white person and you haven't heard of Stuff White People Like, you've probably been too busy watching entire seasons of The Wire on your IKEA couch with your Asian grad-school girlfriend, sharing iPod earbuds and a vegan stirfry, and having irony-fortified arguments about Wes Anderson movies, Barack Obama, and whose turn it is to take out the recycling. Congratulations, whitey: you've finally got a......

Well, it's that time of year again: time to hate the TTC! This time, it's the threat of a distant strike and the Star's devotion of its usually excellent Fixer feature to all things TTC (and broken) leading the charge. When Eye's Dale Duncan recapped the past week, she remarked: "Maybe it’s just me, but rage against the TTC seems to be growing." It's not just her. "Seems," though, seems to be the key......

Antonia Zerbisias is back! After the fade-out of Azerbic, the smart, entertaining and well-loved blog she wrote for The Star, she's just recently returned with a new blog, Broadsides. For those who are uninitiated in the ways of this fierce and funny columnist, she is a regular contributor to The Star's Living section. Now, it's irksome that the topics she regularly discusses––which typically include current issues tied to women's rights and freedoms––are relegated to......

blogUT has stepped into the crowded Toronto blogosphere (blogaverse? blorld? blearth?) to fill an as of yet uncovered niche: everything about the University of Toronto. Though they've only been around since the beginning of this month, the site -- edited by Jingping Ji, a Masters student in Electrical Engineering -- is already generating quality event listings like you wouldn't believe (see, for instance, dinner with Howard Moscoe, free cookies, and a weekly film finds......

Dose is live! We know you've been losing sleep waiting for the new freebie daily, thanks to those sinuously-shaped boxes with the mysterious 'coming 04.04.05.' on them. But now ye fresh newsprint is here. The publishers making nothing short of the bold claim that "April 4th is the day your life will change." We don't see how the latest news on Kirsten Dunst and Jake Gyllenhaal is going to change our life, but you never......

Big news for medium sized city blogs: Torontoist, BlogTO and Better Living Centre all got mention in this week's eye! The extensive article cites the trend of emerging Toronto city blogs, asking "Is a blog still a blog if it becomes your career?" Writer Dave Morris goes on to comment on Torontoist site traffic and our post about Kara Lang and the Lady Lynx. But for all the comprehensiveness of the article, Torontoist is left......

Just when you got in the habit of writing 2004 on your rent cheques, it’s all about to change. A new year of gadgets and tech advances is upon us. 2004 was the year tech went cool. The family geek, once the outcast, became the gify consultant, dispensed software recommendations and set up your printer. Electronics were the hit of the Christmas shopping season. In 2004, you didn’t give a date your phone number, you......
