<title>Hamilton Native is YouTube Star....Wars</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Have you seen this video yet? </p>

<center><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lk5_OSsawz4&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lk5_OSsawz4&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></center>

<p>Well as of this very moment, it has been watched 2,565,263 times. What about this one?</p>

<center><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rtZi7zlnDeA&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rtZi7zlnDeA&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></center> 

<p>It has been watched 2,874,420 times. These videos, and many more like them were created by Corey Vidal, a 21 year old amateur dancer and official YouTube partner who hails from Hamilton, ON. The first video features Corey lip-syncing the four different acapella parts of a song entitled, "Star Wars." The song was originally created as a tribute to John Williams by Utah-based comedy group, <a href="http://www.moosebutter.com" target="_blank">Moosebutter</a>, and given to Corey in order to produce what you see here. The second video was created to satisfy one of the numerous requests he gets from his estimated 15-20,000 visits a day. So what's so special about Corey? </p>]]></description>

<title>Analyzing the Sun&apos;s Top 10 TTC YouTube Videos</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>The first Sunday of the new year was a slow news day for the Toronto Sun, as they ran an article exposing <a href="http://www.torontosun.com/News/TorontoAndGTA/2008/01/06/4755294-sun.html" target="_blank">YouTube videos</a> primarily made up of drunken-antics on the TTC. While the behaviour displayed in these videos may have been an eye-opener for the 905 crowd, for most of us at blogTO it's <a href="http://blogto.com/city/2008/01/an_unhappy_new_years_on_the_ttc" target="_blank">nothing new</a>.</p>

<title>vidTO: Constructing Dino (er, Gordo)</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>The ROM's multi-media department is at it again. Last month we posted a <a href="http://www.blogto.com/city/2007/12/vidto_rom_crystal_construction_timelapse/">timelapse video of the construction of the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal</a> and today they just YouTube'd a video of the mounting of Gordo, <a href="http://www.blogto.com/arts/2007/12/dinos_now_in_crystal/">their insanely long (and once lost)</a> Barosaurus skeleton that was unveiled a few weeks ago.</p>

<p>The video is two minutes long and can also be found, obviously, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuOFaMz2goU" target="_blank">on YouTube</a>.</p>]]></description>

<title>Libeskind in Toronto to Promote, Defend ROM</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>With the <a href="http://blogto.com/arts/2007/12/dinos_now_in_crystal">dinos now on display</a>, it was media day at the ROM today. The Post, The Globe, Citytv and a host of other media outlets were each alloted 10 minutes to interview <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Libeskind" target="_blank">Daniel Libeskind</a>, the celebrated (or maligned depending on who you ask) architect of the <a href="http://wvs.topleftpixel.com/07/12/13/" target="_blank">ROM's Michael Lee-Chin Crystal</a>.</p>

<p>I had hoped to talk to the globetrotting architect about <a href="http://blogto.com/city/2007/11/fake_pipebomb_found_at_rom_associated_ocadlinked_videos_surface_on_youtube">the fake bomb</a> but he hadn't heard the news. Said Libeskind "There are a lot of bombs around the world. You can't follow all of them." So instead we settled on the media's reaction to his work, what he would change about the design, and the state of architecture in Toronto. All of this and more in my brief (2 minute) video interview with him below:</p>

<title>How To Make Butter Tarts</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Mmmm. Butter tarts. </p>

<p>It's only been a few months since <a href="http://www.misscoraskitchen.com/" target="_blank">Miss Cora's Kitchen</a> opened in Kensington Market but it didn't take long for locals to discover the amazing scents of freshly baked goodness emanating from the oven. Owner and head chef Cora DeVries learned a lot of what she knows from her mother and one of the recipes that's been passed down from one generation to the next is her butter tarts. Hot out of the oven, they're tough to beat.</p>

<p>To learn the secret behind this once-guarded family recipe, I took my video camera behind the counter and into the kitchen where Cora showed me how to make the perfect butter tart. Watch the video below to learn how to make them yourself: </p>

<title>Green Toronto: Karma Co-Op</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://karmacoop.org/" target="_blank">Karma Co-Op</a> has quietly led the way as one of Toronto's most progressive grocers for more than 30 years. Located off an alleyway at 739 Palmerston, this little co-operative that could has been stocking local, organic and fair trade products since its inception. And re-usable bags? They've been doing that before current <a href="http://www.marketingmag.ca/magazine/current/feature/article.jsp?content=20070813_70048_70048" target="_blank">Loblaws Executive Chairman Galen Weston Jr.</a> was born.</p>

<title>Green Toronto: Enviromaid</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Green-focused retailers like <a href="http://blogto.com/video/2007/12/green_toronto_grassroots">Grassroots</a> sell a wide variety of eco-friendly cleaning products such as <a href="http://www.ecover.com/ca/en/Products/Laundry/Laundry+Powder.htm" target="_blank">Ecover laundry powder</a> or <a href="http://www.naturecleanliving.com/household_cleaning.htm" target="_blank">Nature Clean floor cleaner</a> but that doesn't eliminate the need for each of us to get down on our hands and knees and actually use them.</p>

<p>Or does it? That's where <a href="http://enviromaid.ca/" target="_blank">Enviromaid</a> comes in - a home and office cleaning service that only uses environmentally-friendly products to do the job. I recently cornered company founder Emmanuel Rey who filled me in on what makes Enviromaid one of Toronto's greenest companies. Watch the video below:</p>

<title>Green Toronto: Bullfrog Power</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Ask around about <a href="http://bullfrogpower.com" target="_blank">Bullfrog Power </a>and chances are you'll still get many people thinking that it's not as reliable as <a href="http://www.torontohydro.com/" target="_blank">Toronto Hydro</a> or to get it you need to disconnect from the grid.</p>

<p>But spend a few minutes looking at <a href="http://bullfrogpower.com" target="_blank">their web site</a> and it quickly becomes evident that this notion couldn't be further from the truth. As a Bullfrog Power customer, you're still connected to Toronto Hydro. But what you're doing is paying a slight premium to invest in clean energy so in the future our homes and business and Toronto Hydro itself will be less dependent on sources like coal, nuclear, oil and gas.</p>

<p>Watch my interview below with Bullfrog Power Co-Founder Tom Heintzman to learn more about the company and why you should consider signing up.</p>

<title>Green Toronto: Fertile Ground</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Located at 11 Irwin Avenue (just off Yonge Street), <a href="http://www.fgbooks.com/" target="_blank">Fertile Ground</a> started as a business bookstore but branched into environmental titles a few years back. They now carry about five times the green selection that's available at the nearest Chapters.</p>

<p>I recently stopped by the store to find out more and talk with Co-Founder David Evans about their selection and why they started the store. Watch my video interview below:</p>

<title>How To Make Braised Short Ribs</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.rogerscentre.com" target="_blank">The Rogers Centre</a> may not make headlines as a culinary destination in Toronto, but Executive Chef Rodney Meynert probably knows better than anyone how to cook for a stadium full of hungry sports fans. He's worked for <a href="http://www.levyrestaurants.com" target="_blank">Levy Restaurants</a> at the Rogers Centre for 18 years, and also assisted at other major sporting events south of the border including Super Bowls, the Kentucky Derby and the US Open.</p>

<p>In honour of this year's Grey Cup, Rodney and his team unveiled a new sports friendly menu for the fans cramming <a href="http://www.rogerscentre.com/inaround/restaurants/sitelines/index.html">Sightlines</a> and the private boxes. To get a closer look, I joined him overlooking the field to watch him cook some amazing braised short ribs. Watch the video below to learn how to cook them for yourself:</p>

<p>*Note: Sorry about the background noise on this one. The Rogers Centre had some massive fans (or A/C or something) that I wasn't able to fully filter out) </p>

<title>Function 13 Brings Design, Tech to Kensington Market</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I first discovered <a href="http://www.function13.ca">Function 13</a> when I stopped by The Touch Show at <a href="http://pixelgallery.org">Pixel Gallery</a>. (<a href="http://blogto.com/video/2007/12/a_closer_look_drawn_at_pixel_gallery/">Videos here</a>). The gallery and the store occupy the same space, with Function 13 at the front and Pixel relegated mainly to the back but with the freedom to weave their installations throughout.</p>

<p>My first thought was that a version of <a href="http://blogto.com/design/magicpony">Magic Pony</a> had come to Kensington. There are figurines, a well curated selection of hard-to-find design books and magazines. But Function 13 is more tech bent, thanks to the presence of the new media oriented gallery, The <a href="http://www.richmediainstitute.com">Rich Media Institute</a> (downstairs) and the overriding influence of the team behind <a href="http://www.fitc.ca/">FITC</a>. </p>

<p>To find out more, I stopped by the store sometime later to talk to Function 13 Manager Brandon Hocura. Watch the interview and store profile below:</p>

<title>How to Make Bobo De Camarao</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Bobo de Camarao (Shrimp and Cassava Chowder) is a traditional soup from Northern Brazil, in the state of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahia" target="_blank">Bahia</a>. Mario Cassini, chef and owner of <a href="http://www.caju.ca/" target="_blank">Caju restaurant</a> (922 Queen Street West), makes a version of this dish that's tough to beat. </p>

<p>Luckily for us, I managed to convince Mario to show me his secret recipe. Watch the video below to learn how to cook Bobo de Camarao yourself. But be sure to visit Mario at Caju to sample the real deal.</p>

<title>Green Toronto: Green Garage</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Doing what you can to make the city a greener place doesn't just begin in the home, but on top of it. Just ask Colin Viebrock who started his company, <a href="http://greengarage.ca" target="_blank">Green Garage</a>, by building a green roof on top of his own - you guessed it - garage. </p>

<p>Now, he helps other home and condo owners do the same. I recently visited Colin on the roof of his garage to learn more about green roofs, green garages, their <a href="http://www.toronto.ca/greenroofs/findings.htm" target="_blank">benefits</a> and <a href="http://www.toronto.ca/greenroofs/index.htm" target="_blank">Toronto's green roof incentive program</a>. Watch the video below:</p>
