Hey, look at that, Toronto's NOW Magazine -- free newsweekly/entertainment guide widely read by the college set and other young-at-hearts in the Greater Toronto and Southern Ontario Area -- says my blog is OK. Go figger. Mind you, I would have thought Joey might have rated a mention. He's way more Toronto-centric than I am, plus he plays the accordion. But what do I know?

Seriously, though: Very nice to be noticed so thank you, NOW.

The NOW critics settled on Neil Lee's Beatnik Pad as Hogtown's top blog. I'd never dropped by until the NOW notice but on first blush, the NOW critics' comments seem dead on -- it looks great. Content wise: Well, readers of this blog will no doubt want to check out Neil's solution for extending the range of an Airport base station with non-Apple equipment. (I say that because the most popular thing I've ever posted here was an article about getting a LinkSys B Wi-Fi router to work with Airport Extreme card. Clearly, you, my dear reader, are interested in wireless broadband connectivity issues.) Excellent walk-through. Speaking of which: I want to extend my little LinkSys wireless B router. How do I do that?

Joining me in the also-ran category is Carl Wilson --- who I just mentioned on this site - and who I can do no more greater tribute to than ripping off his subject line for my own post. But, hey, this is the Internet, right? Just grab it if you like it and make it your own. (But if anyone asks, Carl, who writes fetching phrases like that for a living, came up with that one first. Thank you, Carl. Your cheque's in the mail.)

The other honourable mention went to Sean K. Robb, another one that was new to me. Sean was born in Newmarket, it says on his blog, and he and I have at least one hero in common (and it's not his parents.)
