Rannie let me know about his latest project a while back, but I’ve been too busy to respond. After checking it out, I wish I could have participated. My Toronto Includes is filled with Rannie’s trademark awesome portrait photography and some great stories about the city I love. Visit (the site and the city!) soon!

Free Wine for Bloggers!

by James McNally on July 12, 2006

in Blogging, Food and Drink

If you’re one of those lucky bloggers who lives in the U.S., the Mankas Hills winery will send you a free bottle of wine. The winery is fairly new and is trying to get the word out on their wines.

It’s all in the pursuit of good “word of mouth” marketing and to be fair, you should blog if the wine is crappy as well as if it’s good.

Let me know if you take advantage of this. I’m curious.

Inconvenient

by James McNally on July 2, 2006

in Film, Politics

Brooke and I went to see An Inconvenient Truth tonight, which was fantastic. The horrible thing was sitting through three car commercials before the screening. I’ve been starting to count the number of commercials that are for cars and I’d say, according to my unscientific guess, that one out of every three commercials I see these days are for automobiles or things that support the automobile industry. We are truly addicted to these things. I don’t mean to sound high and mighty. Though we don’t own a car, we borrowed my dad’s gas-guzzling SUV to drive up to see Brooke’s parents this weekend. But the car culture is so pervasive, we don’t even notice it anymore, and I think that’s dangerous.
