The Beer Hunter, Ontario (Find open Beer Stores, Wine Racks and LCBOs in real time in Ontario) In Ontario, there are only select locations where you can purchase take-away alcohol products and the store hours are inconvenient, inconsistent (between locations) and often forgotten. The site was built first to learn the Google Maps API and second because I was always was trying to find those elusive stores that are open late. It was first launched in mid-November for Toronto only. Now it contains all of Ontario, from small towns like Welland to larger centres like Kitchener - Waterloo and London. I hope that there are at least some fellow Ontarioians here who will find it useful. _{(This was actually posted on the main page in November, but it was Toronto only. Thought that this was a significant enough update to warrant a post)}

Rush Rush is a Canadian rock band comprising bassist, keyboardist, and lead vocalist Gary Lee Weinrib, guitarist Alexander Zivojinovich, and drummer and lyricist Neil Ellwood Peart. Bewitched by Ayn Rand, obsessed by nuclear war and enraptured by cheap science fiction, Rush were role models to geeks everywhere, yearning to be cool, but failing. Still, they rocked, in their own way.
