Hubba Hubba: Montreal Hearts is a sleazy escort service run out of a divey Bishop street bar. Big deal, right? But wait! Montreal Hearts is also a zany, wacky, sexy web TV series, starring a bevy of local beauties, a bunch of guys who act all crazy for your amusement, a soundtrack full of local bands and cameo appearances by some familiar locales of our fair city.

Apple a Day: Mac users tend to think of themselves as creative people, perhaps to justify their cultish devotion to the Black Turtleneck God. But this gallery of inventive repurposings of obsolete Apple products proves that creativity and geekish obsession can result in serious awesome, from the G4 Cube turned fish tank to the Mac Classic toilet-paper dispenser and the G3 desktop with a spout and a keg inside that brings new meaning to the term “server.” Plus, a Mac Mini built into a toy Millennium Falcon is definitely the droids that we’re looking for at bit.ly/9gkrGT.
