  • New Year, New Job: Director of Technology at Fortrus Financial

    Some of you might not have noticed, but in my Christmas Letter this year, I announced a change in my career. Just before Christmas, I had my last day at 10up. It was really hard to leave, and I’m not ashamed to say that I struggled with the decision. 10up is a great company, with… Read more

  • Quick Christmas Recap

    The following post is really just a recap for me. I am working towards my goal of writing more about what happens in my life since I have such a poor memory. While in Kingston, Annie and I visited with my family, and had a great time. My aunt and cousin gave up their beds… Read more

  • Full House for Christmas in Kingston

    Annie and I came to Kingston on Monday to be able to celebrate Christmas with my family. When planning, it looked as though we might have to get a hotel room, as the two houses in Kingston were already full. My Grandma and Mom having my brother, his wife and two children over, and my… Read more

  • Second Class Supers is Complete

    It is almost done! I say that because we are still working on fulfilling the Kickstarter backer rewards, but the book itself is done! I still need to finish the hardcover version and get it printed and sent out to backers. You can purchase the eBook on Amazon.ca, and the softcover on Amazon.com. I am… Read more

  • My Christmas Letter 2015

    What a year… I don’t have a ton of blog posts written over the last year to pull from, but that doesn’t mean it was uneventful. 2015 will be remembered as a very mixed emotion year. We started by moving from Georgetown to Guelph, heading “west” meant being able to afford a nicer place to… Read more

  • The Loss of Lily

    On July 12th, I wrote a post entitled, The Potential of No Children, where I described how my wife and I were starting to give up hope that we would ever have children. She had been taking medication to increase our odds, and it wasn’t looking great. The next steps would cost us a not-so-insignificant… Read more

  • Where is My Home?

    Growing up as a military brat meant moving every three or four years. As an adult, I moved to go to College, living with my grandmother. When she sold her house, I moved into an apartment with her. After college, I moved around trying to balance my career aspirations with my desire to remain close… Read more

  • 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
