  • Gaming This Summer

    I don’t know if I’ve written about this before, but I’ve basically decided to take the summer off from gaming, and as such, I haven’t been playing Star Wars, Minecraft or League of Legends. I’ve been trying to focus more of my time and attention on other things, and it was a smart thing to… Read more

  • Still Amazed by Gravity Forms

    You would think that after a month and a half of working with rocketgenius supporting their (or our?) Gravity Form plugin, I would be less amazed by the near magic it creates within WordPress, but thankfully, the users I’ve been supporting continue to find new and interesting ways to twist Gravity Forms into meeting their… Read more

  • Writing PHP Code Again

    I have decided to start a “less than secret” secret project, and it requires me to code some PHP again, something I haven’t done a great deal of in the last year or two. Last night, I worked on over two hundred lines of code, reading tutorials as I went about the functions and features… Read more

  • 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. Today, I was invited to be a photographer at the Ottawa Centre Class Party for Tracey (Tom’s wife). It will be a belly… Read more

  • 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

  • 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. Every weekend, except for the Saturday and Sunday we took to attend Ottawa’s first ComicCon have all been three day shoots, and some of them stretch… Read more

  • 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
