I appreciate Jeremy as a friend because he has always challenged me to think different and see the world around me differently. I think tonight's chat was more like a public version of the chats he and I would have over a beer at Eddie's in Kensington Market or while having pho on Ossington. We talked about his Paste Platz project and he elaborated on the work that went into putting it together and how he gave different artists a voice. We talked about the value of wheat paste and the importance of sharing creations locally. Our conversation as they usually do got a little deep and we touched on society, communities, and the current state of the world we are living in. I enjoyed this talk and I hope you did or do as well."Jeremy Lynch is an experimental photographer/wheatpaste artist; who happens to be anti-classist and is also bored of capitalism, exhibitions, curators, and galleries."Follow Jeremy at https://www.instagram.com/jumblefacefoto/Photography Chat is a weekly Instagram Live @merlindb hosts every Thursday at 5pmPST/8pmESTGive me a follow if you want to see the episodes live https://www.instagram.com/merlindb/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/photographychat/donations

It's December, and I'm trying to get myself to like winter. This month, that means taking “festive” walks. Mostly in areas that look pretty at this time of year, but there are a few stops here and there that are a little bit more on theme. That being said- if you happen to listen to this any other time of year, it should hopefully still be an interesting and fun walk/listen! As always, I am not a historian, and if I get something horrendously wrong please let me know so I don't continue making the same mistake. I do track all my sources- you can find them on the link below. Walk-along info: Start: Queen St. W. and Ossington Ave. Finish: Queen St. W. and Bathurst St. Estimated walk time: 40ish minutes Sources: https://walkinginplace.libsyn.com/queen-and-ossington-sources

This episode features some samples from the albums to give you a taste of what to expect on Cherubic – be sure to check out Mike's album so we can GET HIM TO NUMBER ONE ON ITUNES!

Money is a part of our everyday lives so why isn’t it an everyday discussion?  [0:00 - 0:35] Ratehub.ca - Real Money Talk Intro   [0:36 - 59:00] EQ Bank - our show’s sponsor - Check out the EQ Bank Savings Plus Account   [1:00 - 1:36] Welcome to Season 2. We want to look at work through the lens of money.    [1:37 - 1:57] We speak with Justin at Black Cat Espresso Bar - we talk about the history of coffee, ask if you can make money running a coffee shop, and if we should tip a barista.    [1:58 - 2:06] INTERVIEW WITH JUSTIN FROM BLACK CAT ESPRESSO BAR, follow him on instagram https://www.instagram.com/blackcatespressobar/   [2:07 - 5:32] Money mistake and money make-ups  - Wasting money at coffee shops, Airbnb, and buying paint cans twice   [5:33 - 8:05] People want to open their own coffee. Should they? What does a day in the life of a coffee shop look like?    [8:06 - 9:39] Justin’s background and how he opened up two coffee shops. Being a musician didn’t work out, but working in the service industry made sense. Always wanted to open a coffee shop   [9:40 - 12:19] What’s the coffee scene like in Toronto? First wave - Sidewalk Cafe - Zuccarini. Second wave is Starbucks. Third wave  - indie coffee shops. Hitting saturation point. Cafe con Leche. Hale Coffee. Saving Mondays.    [12:20 - 14:20 ] How do you succeed in a coffee shop? How do you stand out? All these shops are succeeding on Ossington, Dundas, etc. How does each one succeed? Maybe the sole owner lives off of corn flakes and beans. Driving past a place fully staffed - well, that’s a different level of success. Sam James. Wallace Espresso.    [14:21 - 15:30] Can you make enough money selling coffee? Sell one item with $4 profit is better than $1 on a coffee. You gotta think about what else you can sell.    [15:31 - 17:14] What are some tricks to be profitable? Breakfast sandwich wholesale. Find something else you can sell. It’s helped in a big way. Allowed me to expand. You gotta be competitive on price. Don’t worry about being too high on price.    [17:15 - 18:01] Don’t generalize yourself as a coffee shop. You need to be unique. Take out, sit-down, late night shows, good food. You need something proprietary. Best breakfast sandwich in the entire world.    [18:02 - 20:38] Appearances matter when selling coffee. New shiny truck. No one wants to see you show up in a dirty junky car. You need a clean vehicle. Was there a downturn because you look too fancy? Because you make too much money. Your customers don’t want to see you doing better financially than them. I need to do what’s good for me.    [20:39 - 23:27 ] Barista’s minimum wage. Is it fair? Are Barista’s valued? Australia vs. Canadian minimum wage. $14/hr + tips in a coffee shop in Toronto. But, it depends on how busy the coffee shop is and it will determine how good the tips are. $10-$100 per day in tips, but it depends.    [23:28 - 26:50] How much should you tip a Barista? Expectations shouldn’t be set. Tip for good service. Tip because you want to support them and the economy. You give a dollar to a bartender to unscrew a cap, but a barista makes latte art, chatting, multitasking and you don’t tip? They’re doing way more work. If you’re making cocktails, you need knowledge and skill so you should tip. Any barista is expecting to be tipped, but even they have a bad attitude - don’t tip. But if they treat you fairly and nicely, give them a tip. What goes around comes around.    [26:51 - 30:07] What do you think the future of Canadian coffee looks like? Third wave scene will eat up Starbucks, Tim Hortons, Second Cup, Timothy’s. Second wave is closing down. They’ll never go away, but they’ve turned into a weird version of McDonalds.    [30:08 - 34:36] Rapid fire questions - What’s in your wallet? Favourite app on your phone? Favourite book? If you could make one statement to the world, what would it be? Favourite food? Where are you in 5 years?   [34:37 - 37:03]  Ratehub.ca’s Project Decimal Financial tip for the week - you need a strategy for your paycheque. How to divide your money before it comes in.    [37:13 - 37:38] Thank you for listening.    [37:39 - 38:02] EQ Bank - our show’s sponsor - Check out the EQ Bank Savings Plus Account   [38:03 - 38:25] The fine print  

A teen in Norfolk County called the cops to report that the fake ID he ordered online never came. Former TTC boss Andy Byford just resigned from his post as New York City's subway president, and a new online calculator shows how long it would take to save $35K in RRSPs for the Home Buyers Plan. Plus, Alicia Keys is coming to Toronto, and Koukla on Ossington is a new Greek with a seafood bar.

A local reporter was harassed while doing a live hit from Yonge-Dundas Square about sexual assault on the TTC. A partial derailment caused a portion of Line 2 to close during the morning commute, which caused hours of chaos. According to a new report, housing in Toronto is now less affordable than it is in cities like San Francisco and London. K-pop's BTS is playing two shows at the Rogers Centre in May, and FreePlay is the city's newest arcade bar, with two floors of retro games and skewered fried food.

Subscribe (Stitcher)Subscribe (iTunes) We return to the Vector Festival to interface with the machine, dodge some lasers, and transform into our Sailor selves.  Game controllers are often a player's lifeline. A player's familiarity with a  control scheme or a controller can determine the difference between success and defeat. Over time we've seen controllers become more standardized, from a simple joystick and a button to the four face buttons, four triggers, and two analogue sticks. We've had good controllers (Xbox 360), bad controllers (Nintendo 64), and plain ugly ones (Atari Jaguar), but eventually they all settled on the same thing. The Wii U's gamepad has screen in the middle,  but it's fundamentally the same layout as the PlayStation 2, and its simplified controller makes that clear. These controllers then form a connected language, where a player can move between all modern consoles and not dramatically change the way the games control.  Yet, once controls become standardised they start to lose their nuance. Vibration adds potential, as does the Wii U's screen (not so much the PS4's touch nub) but they're just abstractions made for a select few games, usually focused on action. How do four face buttons and four triggers help you in a game where you're exploring or trying to solve puzzles? Most likely, half the buttons will go unused. Meanwhile there's not enough buttons for a flight simulator or many strategy games. Sometimes they also lack the precision and exact feel necessary for a game. We used to accelerate cars with the bottom most face button, but the back right trigger feels better. Players have a granularity of control available a trigger that isn't on a buttons and pushing down slowly on a trigger feels closer to pushing down the accelerator. In an arcade you'll often see games attempt to go beyond this, with controllers that include a miniature version of a race car, including a wheel, pedals and a gear stick.  All of this is learned behaviour, however. We know how these controllers work from experience. They are the current agreed upon language for video games. But as today's episode explores, every language has a learning curve and our current language is hardly the only one.  With the necessary philosophical rambling out of the way, on today's episode you'll hear the following designers: Kieran Nolan, a researcher from Ireland, talks about_ Control_, a game about the way we interact with machines and the levels of abstraction it takes to play one. (0:40 - 10:30) In the news : Sony shrinks. Twitch gets a convention. Gamergate remains horrific. SpeedTree won an academy award. **(10:30 - 34:30) ** Sagan Yee, Alicia Contestabile, and Nadine Lessio discuss magical girls, Sailor Moon,_ Punk Prism Power_, and giant plastic controllers. (34:30 - 44:50) **Daniele Hopkins and Kyle Duffield **explain how to explain a field a lasers, why'd they make for a terrible security system, and fighting a human boss battle. (44:50 - 53:20) We've talked to Sagan Yee and Nadine Lessio a couple times now. The first time we talked to them together was for a game where you physically threw knives at a screen to make decisions. Nadine also worked on another game available at the Vector Festival called Sext Adventure, with Kara Stone.Meanwhile, Sagan's been teaching people about game literacy at Toronto's Reference Library.  Sorry, if we didn't get your call.
