The Time I Led Orientation as a First Year at Manitoba
I started my first year of university in May of 2004 with full-time courses during the summer session – not exactly a traditional start. In June of that year, I went to my faculty office to request to sign up for orientation activities. Here’s the thing, not only…
So I Nuked My Ghost Blog
Thankful for my backups! Apologies for the RSS dump, again. I went to upgrade my Ghost CMS install this morning, and managed to mess up my entire Node.js install. The result was a support ticket to host, and them reinstalling things for me. Hopefully, I don’t break my…
Free Speech is Important, It's The Life Blood of Democracy
I consider the First Amendment of the United States Constitution to be one of the greatest constitutional statements in organized human society.

My Personal Gift Policy as a Journalist
I recently posted an extensive Code of Ethics and Journalistic Practice to The Public Record, which includes a section on gifts. As a journalist, I have to be very careful as to what I do or do not take. I don’t have a “Gift Policy” that is set…
Missing Launch and Displaying Music on my Blog
I’m working at a very good efficiency right now, which causes me to seek short releases of music as a break. Combined with a high level of anxiety right now (I can handle pressure, but anxiety, not so well), I’ve been pumping up music and enjoying myself in…
Ticats Marketing: Hamilton Proud in Stipley
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats marketing campaign in the Stipley neighbourhood where the stadium is located is brilliant. The Cats went door-to-door giving out free large "Hamilton Proud – Stipley Neighbourhood" Tiger-Cats flags that people could hang from their front porches. (The Ticats also handed out free tickets for the…
