On Bartending: Memoirs of an Apple Genius

I had the pleasure of meeting (and hanging out with) Stephen Hackett of 512Pixels while at Macworld | iWorld earlier this year 1, and he just released his first eBook, Bartending: Memoirs of an Apple Genius. Mind you, he released it a couple of days early, so I suppose one can consider it an Easter egg […]

Hello…Marked 1.4

I had the opportunity to meet Brett Terpstra at Macworld | iWorld, and we had some pretty great conversations in the brief time we had to chat. Since I’d been using Markdown for a while, I’d become more familiar with his work than ever before — and when I got the chance to try out

I’ve Gone Chibi

I was “chibi-fied” by Erin Feldman over at Write Right in this stellar work of art. Having never met me in person, Erin was able to glean enough from my writing, my podcasts and my interactions on social media to capture my essence in the caricature you see above.

I’m not a morning person. I tend to do my best work in the wee hours hours of the late evening, where I find that my creative juices are flowing. So I generally stay up late and get up late for that reason. I’m also not working so much as an individual right now either.

A Conservative Change

On a day where Canada’s Conservative government announced that our nation will no longer be making pennies, I find it fitting that I have some announcements on change myself… With all of the heavy-duty writing I’m doing these days, I’m going to pare back my pledge to post twice daily here.
