Those of you following my Twitter account know I received a mysterious box earlier this week that contained a number of G. I. Joe movie toys. With my Friday slowly winding down I thought I'd quickly shoot a video, just to show off the more electronic of the toys in the package as well as to explore the evolution of the line from its humble beginnings forty-five years ago. Featured is the 12" Snake Eyes Ninja Commando doll ($30 ages 4+), the Night Raven jet ($60, ages 4+) and the animatronic Accelerator Suit Duke figure ($120, ages 5+) which far exceeded my expectations as to what might have been inside that box. It's been a long journey since G. I. Joe first appeared in 1964 and if early reviews of the movie are any indication it still has quite an interesting future ahead of it.

The RCMP has announced a major arrest involving identity theft here in Toronto today. 47 year-old Shakiru Olasunkanmi Ajibola was in court yesterday for a bail hearing in which he faces 170 charges spanning identity theft, mail theft, and possession of credit card data. RCMP officers found Ajibola in possession of more than 100 sets of identification including Canadian citizenship cards, Ontario drivers licenses, credit cards, debit cards, and cheques that were all stolen from the mail. included in the seizure were lists of people the RCMP believe were to be profiles of those to be targeted next. These lists contained personal information including addresses, dates of birth, Social Insurance Numbers, and employmentinformation. Mr. Ajibola himself has apparently assumed almost 100 identities.
