Annie and I are going to go to FanExpo Toronto 2013. We are only planning on attending on Friday, the 23rd of August. It should be interesting. Tickets for the single day were $35 per person, which is fairly reasonable. I will, of course, be bringing my fully charged camera.…

Working Without My Laptop
So the last ten days, I’ve been without my laptop, and I’ve had to work from an iPad and my cell phone. I forgot my laptop at my place, all packed up and ready to go, before we went to Annie’s brother’s place. I did the best I could during…

Where Am I Now?
I recently did an interview with Jeff Chandler of WPTavern, and had a great time answering some questions about where I’ve been in the last three to four years. I can’t believe it has been so long since I was last working purely online. I have done a year and…

Motorola X – Not the Cheaper Nexus
So, I am listening to the Motorola X announcement, and while it looks like a great mid-range phone, I’m sad at the separation that Motorola has said they have between themselves and their owners, Google. I knew the specifications of the phone for a while, and it seemed pretty decent.…

Holding a Baby
Since my mid-twenties, I’ve wanted to be a father. Yesterday, I got to hold a baby for almost twenty minutes, and I’m not ashamed to say that it really kicked things up a notch when it comes to my emotions regarding a child of my own. You hear about women…

Watching My Weight
So, despite not eating the best over the weekend, I’m still, albeit slowly, trending downwards. My goal, right now, is to lose the weight I’ve gained over the last year, and get back into the 260’s. I am currently sitting around 283 pounds, which is a drop of around five…
