Half of business owners on this Toronto street estimated that more than 25% of their customers arrived by car. In fact, it was 4%. And the % for those who walked or cycled? 72%. Retailers routinely overestimate the # of “car customers.” Via @carltonreid forbes.com/sites/carltonreid…

Keanu Reeves reporting on teddy bears in Toronto in 1984. The young actor has recently disclosed that he came very close to taking on the stage name, Chuck Spadina, soon after this. A nod to his hometown of Toronto.

Neil, there is a logic flaw in your little aphorism that seems quite telling. Since you and I are part of the Universe, then we would also be indifferent and uncaring. Perhaps you forgot, Neil, that we are not superior to the Universe but merely a fraction of it. Nice day, indeed

The Universe is blind to our sorrows and indifferent to our pains.
Have a nice day!

Ok. I am in High Park. Pedestrians and cyclists abound. There are also a lot of cars here.
Personally I think cars should be banned, but at least they are supposed to be limited to 20km/h.
I have a radar gun. Let's do this.

If you're a Rubyist who wants to "give back" by offering six 1/2 hour calls to an early (or pre-) career developer you could do worse than sign up to this new thing I made.
