The end of EQ
Today, the EQ hiatus is officialy over. 🙂 But so is EQ as an online magazine. 😔 I hinted at some personal reasons to go on hiatus last year and, while I’m not going to give you a long and boring story about my life, I’ll just say that a combination of (newly-diagnosed) ADHD, the … Continu...

Entrepreneurial journalism
Today I flipped the switch and launched Edmonton Quotient into the Internet. It may not be, technically, my first business but it’s certainly the first one I’ve approached that way from the start. The last few years I’ve called myself a “sometimes journalist” or said...

The next iteration
I’m going to be celebrating this Christmas as a former employee of Capital Ideas and Postmedia. You may have heard, there are just a few changes happening at this company (and most large media organizations). I am not one of the lucky ones getting a retention bonus during the staffing changes. I&...

Sugru To A New U
Following up on my post about toothpase as a camera lens-saver, here’s one about Sugru fixing our dishwashers. Oh, and if you don’t know what Sugru is, let me tell you how great and excellent this weird to pronounce product is. Sugru is a moldable glue that turns into a solid rubber a...

Alberta Election Playlist: Hope and Fear in 2015
It’s election day tomorrow! And after voting in the morning the best way to keep the election day vibe going is a good playlist. I’m taking my cues from the campaigns, where the NDP have tried to offer Albertans a new kind of government (and certainly new period, as the PC Party has g...

My Advice to Alberta’s Opposition Parties (Because They Wanted to Know)
TLDR: Alberta’s opposition parties (especially the progressive NDP, Liberals, and Alberta Party) need to work together to give a lot more Albertans a voice in the Legislature. Now, the long version: So, I wouldn’t call myself a very political person. I’ve only ever volunteered t...

Free Birthday Stuff (and not just gifts)
Happy Birthday! (If it’s your birthday, that is.) Today for my birthday I decided to scam find as much free food as I could. I mean, free stuff is always great, and nobody wants to take out a loan just to celebrate their birthday. A pending free birthday beverage at Starbucks got me thinkin...
