I came across this video today of someone’s suggestion for CBC. In a nutshell: stop broadcasting on TV and move entirely online. While I love this idea and think it’s perfectly the right direction for any television studio or network to go, I can’t...

Stutter Social is a new organization I recently co-founded with my friend, David Resnick. It connects our fellow stutterers all over the world through group video chats. Using Google Plus. Why would we want to do that? Because it’s often difficult to meet other...

My second sketchbook video features my followup pocket Moleskine from 2007ish (unlike the first one, I didn’t date my sketches). I remember this time vividly. I loved the idea of having sketchbooks full of colourful works of art however I ended up forcing myself...
