While I’ll be indulging my inner beer connoisseur on Friday at the Great Canadian Beer Festival, I’m not immune to the allure of a good cocktail. But it wasn’t always that way. Back when I was working at the Victoria Film Festival the idea came about from its visionary Festival Director, Kathy Kay, to bring […]
“Well, this is going to be interesting.” – Yours truly on learning Markdown The first thoughts I had when I took on this challenge was whether or not I’d be able to find the time to do it…even though I’ve been told it wouldn’t take up all that much time to begin with. I’m working
The past couple of months haven’t been my best. I didn’t live up to my obligations, and rather than face them head on I panicked and ran away from them. It happens to the best of us, I suppose…but it doesn’t mean it’s okay. I could say that it’s because I took on more than

I’m not a fan of scary movies, but this one is different. Watching it is like looking into a messed-up crystal ball. The storyteller is a genius…let’s just hope he isn’t anything like Nostradamus.

I tweeted a month ago that I was going to take the leap and try my hand at Markdown, considering that I’ve heard nothing but praise for the language from the likes of: Merlin Mann David Sparks … and its co-creator, John Gruber Some of you know what Markdown is, some don’t. Here’s the Coles
And I thought that my whittling down of apps was pretty drastic. Chris Smith over at Stepcase Lifehack went full declutter on his apps — basically an “app diet” of sorts. Why’d he do it? How’d he do it? It’s all there — along with a bit of a “throwing of the gauntlet” to readers.
