New and Improved: Sony S-Series Walkman

by Alex on August 29th, 2008

The first Sony Walkman came out in 1979, since then Sony has come out with hundreds of variations of the device (remember how happy you were when they introduced Auto-Reverse?). While so much has changed since its first incarnation, the initial idea has always been the same: your life deserves a soundtrack, and working out without music is boring. Of course we can’t pretend that ever since the iPod came out, we’ve been keeping up with the goings-on at Sony’s Walkman division. Well, they managed to grab our attention with the latest Walkman release.

We’ve definitely got our eye on the S-Series Walkman. An MP3 player which comes with noise cancelling headphones, which we think would be great for those overseas flights when you’re stuck beside an Olympic snorer who has no intention of waking up before the plane hits the tarmac. And unlike its 1979 predecessor, this Walkman is 7.5 mm thick, so it’ll fit nicely into your shirt pocket.

Which party’s party?

You probably don’t want to be known as someone who forms a political opinion based on what an actor says. After all, actors are just sexy script-readers who can convey more emotion by raising an eyebrow than you can when you’re crying. That being said, the Sharp team would definitely want to be on the guest-list at any Obama fundraiser. His celebrity supporters include: the loveable cad George Clooney, noted sexpot and avid baby collector Angelina Jolie, and musical pot aficionado Willy Nelson. Not to mention: Oprah, Charlize Theron, Susan Sarandon, Spike Lee, Ben Affleck, and Kanye West…

Meanwhile John McCain’s celebrity picnic won’t be an A-List extravaganza with the likes of Stephen Baldwin, Pat Boone and Wilford Brimley, but you could probably count on some great old Hollywood stories if you got stuck beside Robert Duvall and Jon Voight while waiting for a new batch of ribs. Actually, McCain’s party might be more fun than Obama’s. Think about it, Brimley could offer great tips on moustache upkeep and I bet Lorenzo Lamas could teach everyone a thing or two about romance.

Chiptole Mexican Grill Opens First Resto In Canada

by Rob on August 27th, 2008

Locavores and gourmet lovers, you now have a fast food restaurant of your own.

Canada’s first Chipotle Mexican Grill opened August 15th, at 323 Yonge Street, Toronto. The famed American restaurant chain is dedicated to fresh, fast gourment food made with local and organic ingredients. Menu items range from burritos, tacos, burrito bowls and salads. Pork will be sourced from DuBreton (Quebec), their beef, Beretta Organic Farms (Ontario).  30 percent of the black and pinto beans that Chipotle will be organically grown. All for $8.

 Is Canoe shaking atop the 54 floor of the TD Tower? Bartlett Lodge ordering a smaller boat to prepare for less customers to its famed shores? Not likely. They’re still in another league. But for a quick lunch break meal, Chipotle is just what we’re looking for.
