I’m trying something new today. I came across an online photo sharing site that seems pretty promising. It’s no commercial site like imagestation.com or ophoto.com and has no ads.
It’s just really cool.

HubLog: Things Google knows about you

Here’s something interesting that I came across today. Everyone loves Google, don’t they? Don’t you? They probably know more about you than you know about yourself!

What’s going to happen with all the fish?

Yesterday the Ministry of Ontario Health announced that it will be mandatory for sushi to be pre-frozen before distributing it to various restaurants. To prevent any health concerns, freezing raw fish will kill bacteria that may be harmful to the public health.

Although this is true to an extent, the result of someone getting ill from eating sushi is very minimal, and should not be a concern for anyone eating raw fish. This was a huge setback for sushi lovers and sushi restaurant owners as the process of freezing fish often destroys the taste and texture of the fish itself, thereby eliminating the actual essence that is sushi.

In today’s news, the Ministry stated that because of the outcry from restaurant owners and the public, they will reconsider this law and devise an alternate way to letting the public know that there is a potential for harm when eating raw fish.

The article further stated that this law was in the making for the past two years and it had failed to get any feedback from anyone within the sushi industry. That’s a little sad in my opinion, to think that the government can just stick their heads in other people’s businesses without even knowing the intracacies within it. Clearly the people who thought of this regulation were not sushi eaters themselves and thought that this was a high priority when other pressing health issues exist within this province. Go fish.

What’s the word on the street?

I went to Word on the Street yesterday for the first time. An annual event held in Toronto, it exhibits books and magazines for all to enjoy. Previously held on Queen Street, it was held for the first time at Queen’s Park. It was quite the impressive turnout as there were tents lined up all along the roads. I didn’t know there were so many different magazines available in Canada. So many small publications had their say in yesterday’s festival as they all offerred specials upon subscriptions.

I bought a back issue of Applied Arts magazine for $3 and another book by world reknown wine connoisseur James Halliday for $2. There were live bands playing on the fields, children’s tents, readings, autograph signings and food vendors all over. I really don’t know why they only hold this event for one day of the year. They are sure to get more sales and recognition had it been for the entire weekend.

…and Stacie J. makes her exit

Mr. Trump pulls another twist in this week’s episode as he calls the entire losing team back to the boardroom for the second time of the evening. Saying that Stacie J.’s previous behaviours were crucial in making his decision on whom to fire, he asked Maria to get everyone back in the boardroom after the chosen three were in heated discussion of who was to blame for being 10% over budget.

I suspect Mr. Trump is trying to spice things up in this season’s episodes as he fired Stacie J. in front of the entire Apex Team, which was a first for the show. I never saw the first episode where everyone claims that Stacie had “flipped out,” and now I really wish I could to see if the girls really are telling the truth. I suppose I’ll never know now that she is gone. The Apex Team now has no excuse to perform poorly as the scapegoat has now left the building.
