As a broad rule, I like videos and movies that feature Toronto. I think it should happen a lot more often. So here's Drake's latest music video, which does exactly that. If you can't see it below, click here.

Earlier this month a new restaurant – called Saltz – opened up in Zurich’s historic Dolder Grand Hotel. (The building was originally built in the late 19th century, but an extension was added in 2008 by architecture firm Foster + Partners.) 

Designed by artist Rolf Sachs, the 280 square meter restaurant is fitted out with an eclectic mix of unusual materials: neon, salt, rock, climbing rope, felt, and so on. And everything is intended to relate back to Swiss culture in some way.

The interiors caught my attention as I was browsing through the press release this morning, so I have decided to post a few photos. All of the photography is by Nico Schaerer, courtesy of The Dolder Grand and artist Rolf Sachs.

This week has not been a good week for Toronto city builders. So I think a Fun Friday post is in order to lighten things up around here. (I’m stealing the idea of a Fun Friday post from Fred Wilson’s technology blog – he has been doing them for years).

Here’s a short comedy sketch called, Everyone’s Upstairs Neighbors. If you’ve ever lived with a noisy neighbor above you, this will all make perfect sense to you and I think you’ll find it hilarious. Click here if you can’t see the video below.
