And Again....

There was no new Twin Peaks this week, but, there was a new Damn Fine Podcast episode.  Tom and Ron asked me back on and it was a great time, thanks guys!

Here's a link to the episode.

It Is Happening, Again

On the google hangoutFor those of you who know me, you know I like the TV.  Isabelle and I actually walked down the aisle at our wedding to the Twin Peaks theme.  

So, with the premiere of the new Twin Peaks season I was back on Damn Fine Podcast with Tom and Ron as well as two other past guests (Connor Kilpatrick and Rob Reid).  We talked about the books, and made some speculations about the upcoming, well I guess not upcoming any more, the PRESENT season.

It was a great time, and I really appreciate being asked back, thanks guys!

Oh, here is the episode. 

Damn Fine Podcast Guest Appearance

It seems that once every March Tom Merritt has me on one of his podcasts....

This time around it is the Damn Fine Podcast that he does with Ron Richards.  I started listening to the show for a couple of reasons, one is that I am a really big Peakerhead, the other is that frankly, I like listening to stuff Tom does.

I emailed the two of them my and Isabelle's experiences watching Twin Peaks back in the early 90s, like how we walked down the aisle at our wedding to the theme song, and Tom emailed back 'wanna be on the show?'  Then Ron, unbeknownst to Tom I think, emailed me the same thing.  Of course I said yes.

We had a great time, even though it was at the point where season 2 sorta started to suck.

Anyway, check out the episode.  Thanks Tom and Ron!

I Was a Guest on The Daily Tech News Show

I've been a fan of Tom Merritt and Veronica Belmont for a long time, going back to the early days of CNet's Buzz Out Loud.  I have been fortunate enough to hang out with Tom some at PAB and appear on a panel with him.  Now and then I get a text from him about hockey, probably becuase he has nobody to talk hockey with....

So yesterday I was getting creamed in Destiny and my phone buzzed.  It was Tom asking me to be on DTNS.  I jumped at the chance.  Now, of course my computer screwed up, but I just switched computers and it all went well.  Thanks Tom, Veronica and Roger, it was good fun.

So This Thing Happened

If you don't know this already, I have albinism.  It is a genetic condition (don't worry, you can't catch it from me) and the kind I have (there are many) shows up 1 in 17 000 live births on average.  Anyway, the UN has been at the forefront of trying to explain to people that we are just like anyone else, except on the outside (oh and except for our shitty vision).  So, they have been collecting stories and such from people.  Well, it turns out that one of the people they are featuring on their website is me!  (As an aside, I use parentheses way too often).

The local (and by local I mean 330 km away....) CBC station picked it up and had an interview with me.  You can listen to the interview here.  I think I did ok, though the guy misprounounced my name.  To his credit there is a typo on the website.
