The future of (e-)reading
Hot off the digital press, check out The Coast article in the arts news section where I give an interview about e-readers and physical books ahead of BookCamp Halifax this weekend (it’s not too late to register). I’m recovering from a viral throat infection but hope to have it all cleared up by the time [...]

Deep Roots Music Festival
I have a dreadful confession to make: I’ve never been to a concert before. At least not in the the colloquial sense of the word. Sure, I’ve been to various symphonies. Jazz festivals. The opera even. Not exactly the kinds of events you go to dressed in jeans and a t-shirt with the expectation of [...]
