Curl up with a book – Nightface in paperback
It has hit my self, and you can too!
On the CBC – me and a little historica
Yes, that was me on the noon program. I will post a link to the episode once I get home. Thank you to those who called and messaged me. I was recalling some research I had done this past week on margin notes found in books. I was able to interview Kyla Ubbinks, a book [...]
Going Outside – Not for the faint of heart
Not sure what happened here. Over the Easter weekend, there were scores of people on the street soaking up the sun. Later, it would rain in that sunny drizzle normally reserved for late summer. In between gaggles of stroller moms, cyclists and roving herds of family, I crouched down and snapped this photo. [...]

HHott, CAJ and PSOP, Oh my!
As far as dank dark basements go, one full of technology professionals and journalists has got to be my favorite. Last night I attended the Hacks/Hackers meetup in Ottawa. It was friendlier than I expected. After seeing a few meetups with other of freelance groups, I had been pretty much turned off the sub-pro networking scene. [...]
My ripple effect response to Chris Jones
