The ‘viral’ YouTube video that Bill took of me at Podcamp Toronto is up to 65 views. The day before it went up, Bob asked: “Are you sure you want me to put this online?” To which I said, sure. Before I had a podcast, I used to be scared of people seeing me look [...]

How to subscribe. My first regular show in about a month. I talk about the Homelessness Marathon, which is going on as I write this, about working through some of my long term goals, and the best t-shirt I have ever owned. I also play a track from the band The Knife, which you should [...]

Click here to listen to it, and here for more info. I’ll be on again as of midnight Eastern time, for the open mic hour. Peace! Update: This is seriously fucked up.

For someone whose first language is French, how shameful would it be for me to admit that I only now figured out that it meant fat Tuesday? Is it an 9/10, or more of an 8? 8.5 maybe??? :) Either way, thanks to Dave Slusher for putting it together for me.
This may actually work! Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff launched this meme the other day, Bum Rush the Charts, that’s attempting to send an indie artist to the top of the iTunes charts through a same-day purchase of one track. Here’s the blog in case you wanna follow what’s happening with it. The way I see it, [...]

2. Get used to it. 3. Man of the day Austin just did a cool interview with me, titled Are You In Over Your Head? Go take a look if you’re as obsessed with me as I am. 4. I participated in Solipsistic Nation’s recent podcast, The Exquisite Corpse, which has a really cool concept [...]

This image so fascinated me earlier when I saw it on Philip Sherburne’s blog that I had no choice but to find out who these people were. It took me about an hour, but boy am I happy I did. Readers, I introduce you to the Swedish band The Knife. I just bought their third [...]
I’ve been giving myself an ulcer over Homeless Nation in the past week or two, don’t mind me. I did receive a couple of cool things in the mail recently, though. The first one is a Japanese watch I ordered from TokyoFlash after I saw it in a store around here. The time is [...]

Next week I’ll be participating in the Homelessness Marathon, a 14-hour ordeal of a radio broadcast which is distributed across over 35 stations in Canada and the US. With me will be other members of Homeless Nation as well as a bunch of other radio volunteers, all of whom have devoted themselves to producing 14 [...]

Going out to run some errands, but I just wanted to thank everyone for the load of honest, genuine emails I’ve received because of my epilepsy podcast episode. Also, something occurred to me yesterday that I think would be really awesome to do. Considering how huge my collection of podsafe hip hop is, I thought [...]

Sorry, I’ve got no links as of yet, but I met with Roberto Rocha, author of the recent piece The Invisible Industry, today. He says the Gazette have agreed to launch a blog focusing on the local technology industry, which he hopes will gain local entrepreneurs and early adopters some exposure. Weirdly, it also turns [...]

My ChangeThis manifesto, titled Keep It Real, was published yesterday at ChangeThis. Check it out, download it, etc. etc. Feedback is appreciated.

Bold Statement of the Day: Stumble Upon‘s traffic will be displacing the power of Boing Boing in a year. Possibly even less. The amount of posts I have seen in the past week talking about the power of Stumble Upon is shocking. Last year, I talked about how Stumble Upon was sending traffic to my [...]
[Audio clip: view full post to listen] Click here to download it I’ve been reading David B’s massive graphic novel Epileptic, so I felt it was time for me to come out and talk about what having epilepsy means to me. I have more to say about this, but for now, I just wanted to [...]

A 15 year old American girl has been charged with for putting naked pictures of herself on the internet.

Yeah, I know– talking about web ecology one day and then dance music the next. I’m not sure what’s going on with Julien, either… but listen up. (Thanks Pitchfork, thanks Véro!)
(Due credit: I first saw the phrase social currency on Aaron Wall’s blog, SEO Book, which is really worth a visit.) First, listen to the audio. That’s where the meat is. I don’t think it’s a secret that, over the past several months, my traffic has increased tremendously, and that my income has been increasingly [...]

Mitch Joel today points us to a Canada.com article which ended up on the cover of the Montreal Gazette today. Quoting Michael Keren, a professor from the University of Calgary, whose random anecdotes are supported by the fact that he has a degree and absolutely no blog whatsoever: Bloggers think of themselves as rebels against [...]
Late last year, I wrote a post in which I encouraged people to branch out for 2007, as a means of helping increase their success online– by trying new things, and not being afraid to make mistakes. In fact, feeling comfortable to screw up is almost becoming my new motto these days– it’s done so [...]
How to subscribe. So I’ve been harbouring a secret for about six weeks. Not fucking huge, but still, it’s something… so I talk about it at the beginning. Also, how I hate disappointing people, and how the world embracing your screwups on the web. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Direct download link Godaddy [...]
