“Hey, you’re here,” says the placard next to the drop box at my local Rogers Video. “You might as well rent another one.” Can you believe the gall? I’m not going to let some pushy video store tell me what to do. Hell, I wasn’t even returning a video. I was just walking by! With […]

Hey, remember the other day when Kate’s short story had been published in the print edition of the Star, but it hadn’t been posted on their site yet? And I was all like “Hey, howcome it’s not on the site?” Well, it is now. Check it out.

Did you know that the rights to Peter Pan are owned by the Great Ormond Street Hospital in London? J. M. Barrie, the author of the works, gave the copyright to the children’s hospital in 1929, on the condition that the resulting income not be disclosed. This arrangement gave the hospital control of the rights […]

Kate’s short story was published in the Star today, as part of their short story contest. It’s unfortunately not on the web yet, but I’ll post a link to an online version as soon as I’m able. Congratulations again, Kate! In other news, did you know that if you take a nap on Sunday afternoon […]

Yesterday I mentioned that tonight, at Everyone’s a DJ, we’re going to try recording the sets live off the mixer. In order to make sure I could keep that promise, I hooked up the gear and recorded a brief set of my own this afternoon. It’s yours to download in MP3 format. I recorded this […]

Every once in a while I manage to overextend myself, and the past month or so has been a fine example. Between the conference and the move, the new gig at Chart, and a bunch of other stuff that I’ve allowed to compete for my attention, I’ve been burning the candle at both ends in […]

It’s recently been announced that Katie Holmes will play Jacqueline Kennedy in an upcoming television miniseries. She’ll be “acting” alongside Greg Kinnear, who has been cast as JFK. I don’t want to judge a film I haven’t seen, and you know I’m not one to indulge in hyperbole. But it’s my firm belief that this […]

Remember when I told you that Kate had been named as a finalist in the short story contest the Toronto Star runs every year? Well, it turns out she finished in second place. Not too shabby for a contest with a record eighteen hundred entries! This was all announced on Wednesday. A better boyfriend probably […]

A couple of weeks ago, with a big move coming up, Kate and I found ourselves running all around town trying to find a bunch of boxes. We got what we needed in the end, but I’ve got to admit that I felt a little bit ridiculous doing it. But you know what’s even more […]
