Some stuff you might enjoy or find useful:
- My latest project is One Hit Wonders: artists that charted exactly once
on radio station CHUM's charts between 1957 and 1986. Now at 290 entries as of May 11 2026.
- Mashups created using Audacity (open-source music editing software).
- People In The News: people who appeared in Toronto newspapers in times past. Some of these
were taken from my
Toronto Old News blog of newspaper articles, which
I discontinued in November 2023. As of this writing, there are over 725 entries.
- My running blog: what it's been like to take up running in late middle age. (I
didn't run in 2025 due to heel problems - I'm starting Couch to 5K from scratch starting in April 2026 and I'll see how it goes.)
- My Perl book from the 1990s.
- The 9 a.m. Project: A bunch of workday mornings.
- My old blog.
- My Flickr page (including photos of Toronto ghost signs).
- If you like, you can follow me on Bluesky.
- Santa Claus Is Coming To Town: a collection of Eaton's Santa Claus Parade ads from the Toronto Daily Star.
- Some interesting old documents that I have found.
- My Toronto photos.
- Some writing of mine from the 1990s retrieved from the
Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.
- Other random writing about this and that.
- If you have any comments on or corrections to anything I've written here, you
can email me.
Note: while the quality of my writing is debatable and probably varies, I wrote it all myself. No AI tools were used to generate it.
