This week was stellar, and should end on a high note as well. I’m speaking at WordCamp Victoria tomorrow in what promises to be a jam-packed day of information about my favourite blogging platform: WordPress. My session will revolve around how, through trial and error, I came to achieve modest blogging success. I will be […]
As mentioned in my introductory post, I’m using iA Writer to write all of my posts over the next two weeks. Once I’ve given it a good test drive, I’ll offer my thoughts here at the site. That said, I have a ton of writing apps on my iPad and just as many available to

I’ll be up front about this: I’ve never really used a stylus with my iPad all that much. I own a Studio Neat Cosmonaut, and it has largely sat unused after the initial excitement of having it wore off (it’s a great product, just not my style – pun intended). I won a stylus at
I’ve heard many people say that life is meant to be lived, and I completely agree with that notion. Heck, it’s why I do what I do now instead of doing what I’ve done in the past. But after reading the first bit of Nick Wynja’s new book, Coffee Shop Contemplations, I think I’ve found
