Happening NOW: April 29, 2010

What’s happening April 29, 2010:

When Toronto becomes a police state June 26-27 for the G20 summit, organizers expect protesters to confine themselves to Trinity Bellwoods Park. While that’s completely impossible, organizers must agree, as a movie studio at Eastern and Pape has been rented as a prisoner processing zone.

The only possible good news around the G20 coming is the yellow zone limit on car traffic. Spadina to Yonge south of Queen to the lake won’t be easy to drive through – basically not worth the trouble. It might be a nice look at a car-free downtown. Or just insane chaos.

Whatever Harper is hiding must be pretty terrible. We’ve already heard some deplorable facts around detainees, but if Harper’s death grip on this info is tight enough to say he plans to fight Parliament over it – well, this must be bad. Maybe there’s a photo of Steve pointing to blindfolded pyramid of tortured prisoners?

Here’s the latest warning to people using GPS on smartphones. It already seems completely crazy telling strangers where you live and when you’re not there. But, in this case, Grindr – a gay hookup app – led to a teen’s assault.

Finally, I wouldn’t typically tell you the latest in Mario Bros. news, but someone has made a free online game that lets you play the original Mario game with characters (with their corresponding skills) from other games of that vintage. Think Zelda, Contra, Metroid.[rssbreak]
