A friend of mine (hi Amanda!) told me to go to the Duke of York pub when I put out a general call on Facebook for places to eat in Toronto, so on the list it went.  It helped that the Duke of York is virtually in the hotel's back yard, about a 2 minute walk.

Hi there, and welcome to the newest incarnation of static|red.  I'm doing things a bit differently this time around.

The blog is definitely going to still be a part of it, and I'm hoping that by revamping things I'm encouraged to write blog entries on a more frequent basis. I'd like to start writing more article-like things here as well, so that may come up as a regular site feature.
