Last night I went to a Little Geeks event to support the co-founder (and my good friend) Andy Walker, but most importantly to spread the word about how Little Geeks is giving away refurbished computers to kids-in-need throughout Toronto.  My video interview with two (little) members of the Board of Directors best explains how the organization works (thx boys!).  If you have a similar non-profit in your town, share your link here.  (Props to Chris from MGImedia for shooting/editing!).

I was getting really, really sick of listening to my same ole playlists, so last month I went on Twitter to ask my friendly followers what tunes I should download.  Tonight, I finally had some time to buy some of these songs, so I thought I'd share the list here just in case you've also hit a musical plateau.  I haven't listened to every artist pasted below, but I plan to later tonight.  Thanks to everyone on Twitter for taking the time to recommend some of your fave hits!

If you live in the US, chances are you've seen the PSAs about the upcoming switch to digital broadcasting (2009).  If you're in Canada, there's a good chance you don't know too much about the switch north of the border (since it happens in Canada a couple of years later).  If you want to get all the details about the analog-to-digital television transition, check out a recent radio column I did for CBC's Spark. 

And if you were also a childhood fan of Hercules (you'll have to listen to Spark for this to make sense), here are the lyrics to the theme song and some more info about the show.  Enjoy!
