If you’re like me, and you’re still trying to get a handle on the #IdleNoMore protests, then you’re not alone.

I’ve just posted the long overdue schedule, as it currently stands, for the Everyone’s a DJ fifth anniversary party tomorrow night at Disgraceland. We’ve got a great mix of new DJs and old favourites on board, and we may have room for a couple of extra DJs who might like to join them. You can […]

I’d love to tell you all about my daughter’s daycare facility, but I signed an agreement promising I wouldn’t. For the safety and security of the kids, the facility’s imposed some very sensible rules on what we can and can’t share online. Either that, or they’re just trying to do our friends a favour by […]
