Glitch city: Glyph Jockey is the mad scientist behind the retro robot-Pulp-Fiction-Royale-With-Cheese mash-up that’s on the cover of all the latest blogs. Didn’t see it? It’s on YouTube. More importantly, Glyph’s own blog is a constantly updated mess of trippy, psychedelic images and video perfect for lovers of old cartoons, found photographs, bizarre illustration, extinguished trends and exploring the detritus of popular culture. It’s pop culture through a kaleidoscope at www.glyphjockey.com/glyphblog.html.

Heart attack man: It’s nobody’s idea of health food but it may qualify as Montrealer soul food, and sometimes you just need to have one. The humble poutine doesn’t enjoy the same reverence as the bagel or smoked meat sandwich, but ask about where they dish out the best one and tempers and appetites will get fired up. Fortunately, Montreal Poutine exists as a resource for the novice poutinist to get a feel for the territory via (relatively) objective reviews. You can even get a “Body By Poutine” t-shirt at www.montrealpoutine.com.
