Although Richard Crouse and I were sad to see the Ontario Specialty Company, our favourite shoppe for retro goods, wind-up toys, and novelties, close it’s physical doors after 73 years, I’m quite pleased that they have kept their promise and are now offering their goodies through an online store.

Here’s the tin robot racer wind-up I snagged on their last day and look forward to finding more goodies from them online. You can hear Richard talk about the store on our Hey All You Zombies!! series here.

With Papa Sangre getting an overhaul today (new game engine, improved sound, retina graphics, more fun) I thought I’d share this get-up I wore when I first reviewed the game on television in 2011.

If you haven’t played Papa Sangre, it’s an audio-only adventure that takes place within the Mexican land of the dead. I decided to cross-over for my review.

Cool poster for the Toronto chapter of NASA’s apps challenge. 75 locations around the world are answering the call for app developers, makers, artists, and thinkers to gather on April 19th for a 48-hour build-a-thon and community get-together. This one’s taking place at the Royal Ontario Museum who will leave their galleries open for inspiration.

I’ve shot a video interview with the organizers that offers more details.

Registration is free, there will be mentors and experts to offer guidance, and people of all kinds of skill sets are encouraged to participate.

Surrounded by the ROM’s moon rocks and meteoroids, this is going to be an awesome event.

Special Too Damn Gorgeous Edition

One of my favourite props from our show. I picked this up at the Toronto Zombie Walk. To see all the goodies that were hidden inside, check out this episode here.

Exactly what you want to pull out of your pocket on a gloomy, rainy day.

Where I keep all my brain food.

Found on Amazon

What if The Muppets took on The Walking Dead? A Governor’s Trophy Tank prop I threw together for Hey All You Zombies!!

These days my Jukebox is my TARDIS. I’m keen on bands that can take me back in time and have fun with it. The Dirt Daubers mange to bring today’s energy to a Dust Bowl-era feel. Tattoed flappers, a devil at the piano, and one truly wicked harmonica.
