  • My Photography Lately

    I’ve been enjoying photography immensely lately. I’ve been doing some behind the scenes photographs at the Scream All You Want shoots, as well as some of my own just to keep busy.

  • Vanish Effect: Chapter 2

    Vanessa Huggins Living in the north west end of Ottawa, Vanessa Huggins was used to its strong trilingual presence, with English almost being a minority. With Quebec being its own sovereign country, she had a hard time understanding why the French language still had such a large presence. Walking down a pedestrian avenue, she noticed Read more

    I could really use something like NZT-48 Read more

  • Trimming Earth’s Population

    The World Population Clock says we are above 7 billion people now, and on Reddit, someone asked what criteria you would use to reduce that number to 3 billion. I love these kind of writing prompts, so I’m going to take you through what I would do in this situation. Right or wrong, it is Read more

  • Writing

    I’ve been in a mood lately wanting to work on fiction again. I re-read Dawn of the Decline today, and while I saw parts that could easily be improved and expanded upon, I’m still happy with the overall arc of the story, and how it turned out. I have two other stories on here, neither Read more

  • Scream All You Want and Pull Out Your Hair

    So, Scream All You Want production is past the halfway point, and I can tell that some people are getting a bit tired from the hurried pace of filming.

  • Quick Movie Reviews

    The Avengers – Amazing movie! Way better than I thought it would be. My investment in watching all the other Marvel movies pays off with The Avengers. Everyone gets their moments and the humour shines. I’ve seen it in both 2D and 3D. The 3D wasn’t worth paying the extra money for. I want to Read more

  • Living in Ottawa

    I’ve been meaning to post more about my experiences living in Ottawa, but I’ve been way too busy to really “live” here yet. Between all the events I’m doing with friends and around the city, working at my new job, client work, and more, I haven’t even had much time to unpack, and really explore Read more

  • Ottawa Comiccon 2012

    Looking for my Flickr photos from the event? I really enjoyed myself at the first (potentially annual) Ottawa Comiccon. There were some small issues, which I would like to address first, and then I’ll get to the good stuff. The Bad Lots of people are letting the organizers off the hook because it is the Read more

  • Scream All You Want

    So, Tom and his friends are putting together a web video horror series called Scream All You Want. Originally they were going to do a two camera set-up and I offered up my camera to use as the secondary camera because it has the same sensor as their primary one. Then they decided the logistics Read more

  • Moved In

    So I’m all moved into my new place. The move itself went well (thanks Barry Sr. and Jr.) and I was able to get all my stuff from the old room to the new apartment without too much of an issue or hassle. The biggest change in my life is how busy I am. My Read more
