Licensing Issues for Feedback…hmmm (Unwind Media | June 3 – 9)
–
by
This week, I finished moving Future Chat to SoundCloud, and by next week the entire Unwind Media back library will be over there! Feedback: The Music Volume I is nearing the date I said it would be out. I’m currently debating options for release, and trying to navigate doing it in as legal as way…
My Bus Driver Rocks

by
Your typical, run-of-the-mill OC Transpo bus. I couldn’t start the day off right without telling this story. Obviously, everybody has bad experiences with bus drivers sometimes. This isn’t unique to Ottawa, or Canada. Sometimes you catch somebody in a bad mood, and there are probably drivers who revel in the fact that people get upset…

I’ve been writing part-time for MobileSyrup for a little over a month now, and since this piece is as topical as it will ever be, here is the writing sample I provided that got me started there. These are my predictions of what we can expect from Apple in the next version of their mobile operating…
SoundCloud, Writing, and #Taylorette1989 heats up. (Unwind Media; May 7-13)
–
by
This week we made a couple of substantial changes on Unwind Media, most notably we’re making the transition to hosting audio files on SoundCloud, as opposed to Archive.org. I’m pretty excited for that, and I even wrote a little bit about some of the neat tricks I am using now to get those files to…

How To Get Noticed Online
–
by
For those of you wondering, this is how I see myself. I’ve conducted experiments before, but the one I’m going to embark on for the next week will potentially be the most difficult I’ve ever challenged myself with. If you followed me online in December 2014, you’ll recall the Instagram Experiment I embarked upon in the…
Brand Loyalty
–
by
Millions of man-hours on the internet are lost every day to petty fights about PC vs. Mac, Android vs. iOS, or Starbucks vs. Tim Hortons (not a coffee drinker, but I assume). Most people I talk to in real life just have what products they have, and if asked might lean slightly towards that side.…

by
Since Future Chat is still on haitus until April, we only had one show last week, but it was a really great episode of Ottawhat with Waubgeshig Rice from CBC Ottawa! This week proper, I chatted with Nick about my experiences on Universal Time (aka GMT) and how living 4 hours in the future is…
My Student Debt
–
by
Mo’ money…mo’ problems, said no one, ever. Another quick thought: I have been out of school for 3 years (completed all requirements in Dec. 2011). I wasn’t particularly careful with money during my 5 years of schooling, but I wasn’t wasteful either, and I also worked for most of that time. I amassed just over…
