Flaming Sambuka? That's for Wuzzies.

Want to make a splash at the bar tonight? PROMETHEUS DEVICE ON! Part Human Torch, part Iron Man. Total T.O. date magnet. Plus, beats the crap out of Purell for sanitizing hands.

MEDIUM:Coffee - Latte Art for Non-Latte Artists

What would happen if you took Toronto artists in traditional media: oil, water colour, acrylics and let them loose on latte foam? That’s the question the MEDIUM:Coffee event planned for Grinder (126 Main Street, Toronto - near Gerrard) hopes to answer. The event is a part of the MakerCulture Project (http://makingmakers.posterous.com) a journalism project by students at Ryerson and Western Universities.

MEDIUM: Coffee starts at 8 p.m. this Friday night. Artists will be given expert coffee art tips by Grinder barista (and Ryerson student) Adam Vrankulj and then will jump into an action-packed judged event. Spectators welcome. MEDIUM:Coffee will also be streamed live online at http://livestream.com/foodepisode. For details contact artii01@gmail.com.

MakerCulture at Cory Doctorow's "Maker" Book Launch last night #mcry

Last night the “Issues and What’s Next” Team of the MakerCulture Project dropped in the the launch of Cory Doctorow’s new book “Makers” at the Merrill Collection of the Toronto sf reference library. Here they are at work interviewing some of the hundreds of makers and fans who packed the room, and the hallways, for the event. Have to say Doctorow was a total pro and treated all his fans and the team with enormous energy, respect and interest. Class act, as was the team.
