  • The Potential of No Children

    Many of those that read my blog also read my wife’s, and she has been posting pretty consistently about our fertility journey and her struggles with PCOS. If you haven’t had a chance to read any of it, please check out her blog: ananee.wordpress.com. I have been fairly quiet on this blog, not only about… Read more

  • Does Creating Employment Really Matter?

    This post is a bit of a rant, and is a bit of a brain dump. You’ve been warned. I’ve been thinking about the changes we are experiencing in modern first-world countries especially. I have been keeping track of the basic income movement and I see a strange set of mental blockers in our culture… Read more

  • One Year with Annie

    Yesterday, Annie and I had our one year anniversary. Being married to her for a year was pretty easy and it brought a lot of joy to my life. The only downside was that it passed so quickly but thankfully there are so many positive memories. We spent the morning relaxing as Annie was dealing… Read more

  • Fiction Workshop at the University of Guelph

    Today, I went to a session at the Fiction Workshop that was open to the public at the University of Guelph. I attended, Finding Your Voice, a three hour workshop led by Kathy Friedman. We discussed the different ways that someone can explore and evolve their voice, through picking a subject, reflecting yourself in your… Read more

  • Another New Apartment

    Written February 8th So Annie and I are moving again. The process of moving so often has definitely taken its toll on me. We are moving from Georgetown to Guelph. I’ll be around another half an hour to forty-five minutes away from my Kingston and Ottawa family and friends, but this apartment provides Annie and… Read more

  • Short Story: Safer at Home – Page 1

    “The long road of man to get to this point is an achievement that will change humanity forever.” Sean was speaking to the computer again, narrating everything. The flurry of activity occurring around me was loud, but not enough to drown out his voice. I tried to keep my cool, but there was something about… Read more

  • My First Real Taste of Project Management: Gif the Halls

    I’ve been wanting to learn how to run projects and I recent had an experience that I want to share. I’ve done some project management previously, but never at the caliber required by my position at 10up. I was recently given the leadership role on a project with WPEngine called Gif the Halls. They came… Read more

  • Short Story: Ownership Papers

    BODY ID: CAN-MD1182-KON RECIPIENT ID: USA-FJ0270-MFL Welcome to your new body. The previous owner spent thirty-two years in this body, and while it was not always well taken care of, I am sure you will find it to your satisfaction. Before you begin, there are a few things you should know. You are now male.… Read more

  • Short Story: Transfer

    They told me that I would feel better, but I knew that they were wrong. Watching the man who killed my wife get hooked into the glowing red and blue machine that would kill him wasn’t bringing me any satisfaction. There was no forgiveness on his face, no remorse. He knew what he had done,… Read more

  • Helping Manage a Pod Meetup

    At 10up, where I work, teams are called pods and the pod that I belong to is called Voltron. Voltron recently had its pod meetup in Toronto, and I helped organize the events of the visit of around seven people coming from various parts of the world. I am hoping that for our next meetup… Read more

  • My Christmas Letter 2014

    Before I begin looking back at 2014, here is a link to My Christmas Letter 2013, for those that are interested. I had many goals for 2014, but I’ll likely review those in a separate post. The first thing you have probably noticed though is that I didn’t blog much this year. Thankfully, that doesn’t… Read more
