  • I done did some standup comedies!

    And you can watch the trainwreck of missed opportunity and shame (not to mention vertical filming) here: Posted on Monday, October 26th, 2015 at 7:00 pm Categories: comedy, comics, nerdery, standup. I done did some standup comedies! ” Δ google

  • The trouble with Star Trek

    Star Trek is sick, and the cure for what ails it isn’t another bombastic brofest. Allow me to explain. Though I’m best known as a Doctor Who nerd, my first introduction to science fiction in a visual medium was Star Trek. As a six-year old in the mid-70s I was intrigued by the colorful costumes…

  • Broken Pencil hits 20 years

    Broken Pencil has been the most visible guide to alternative culture in Canada for the last 20 years. It’s interesting that it while it came of age in the nascent days of the Internet, when just getting on a computer network required money and some degree of technical savvy, it survived the later proliferation of…

  • Cool words from Robin Bougie of Cinema Sewer and others

    Over the past couple of years I’ve been drifting away from film and more towards words and pictures in the form of novels and comic books. My creative process has followed this path as well, with more interest in writing short stories and comics, and even trying my hand at drawing, to mixed results. One…

  • Doin’s a Transpirin’

    Rather than start with yet another apology for not writing more in the blog, here’s a quick summary of what I’ve been up to, followed by details after the jump. 1) writing a story for Seasons of War 2) making a new Bookshelf Doctors comic strip every week 3) trying my hand at standup comedy…

  • What I’ve been up to – December 2014

    I have been a bad, bad blogger and have not updated this site in quite some time. There are reasons for that, from mundane things like work, life and more work, to interesting projects that have demanded all my attention. These projects are as follows! I wrote a story called “Crowsnest Past” for Seasons of…

  • Otaku No Video!

    Confession time: I was an anime fan in the early 90s. Back then it was tough to find anime, and watching the stuff was difficult, with 4th generation fansubbed VHS tapes regarded as a major find. Anime was a predominantly male (and Asian) hobby at the time, something that has massively shifted over the last…
