Can’t Leave Well Enough Alone
I’ve been working a lot on my HTML and CSS recently, which has made me extremely unhappy with this website, even with the recent changes. So we have gone to yet another new theme! That being said, I’m very happy with this one. You’ll see a new profile image being thrown around: ...

The New kattadachi.com
Well, it’s recently come to my attention that I’ve been sticking with the same theme here at kattadachi.com despite the change in my skill set and, more importantly, goals. As much as I loved the old theme (Sela, for those wondering), I needed to change to one that better reflected th...

On the Borderline
Posted
I wrote this in the last year of my undergrad as part of my literary journalism course. While it may have strayed from the original purpose, it was still a piece that I had been wanting to write for years – I just needed the opportunity. Publishing it has gone much the same way. At … Contin...

Realfighting Designs
Posted
It’s pretty amazing to get to say this: in addition to the designs I’ve done for Trent Beretta, Chuck Taylor, and Rocky Romero, my own line of designs is now available at What A Maneuver! It’s been kind of a whirlwind. I genuinely don’t even know what to say. This is a dre...

The Best Group Project
Posted
I failed to mention in my last post that among some not-so-great group work experiences this term, there was one that will probably stand as the best group project I’ve ever been a part of. Alice, Mumbi, Roshan, Asena, Lisa, and I all worked together to create this article about the Libyan ...

A full update
Posted
Remember when I said I was going to try and write more? Well that went down the drain pretty quick. Unfortunately that means that this one is going to be pretty long. In some ways I can’t believe that I’ve already been in London for nearly four months, but on the other hand, when I &#...

A New Chapter
Posted
It’s hard to believe I haven’t updated this blog in nearly two years. Obviously a lot has happened since then, so I’ll skip to the highlights. I suppose the biggest piece of news is that I’ve recently relocated to the UK to study Multimedia Journalism in a Masters program ...

Just a quick update to tell you that the paper I wrote with Brittany Pitruniak and Morgan Messelink has (finally!) been published in Earth Common Journal at MacEwan University and is now available to be read online from anywhere in the world through JournalQuest or here from the ECJ we...

Roadtrip #1
Took a roadtrip to BC and Montana this past weekend with my good friends Sarah, Celia, and Spencer. I spent most of my time annoying my friends with my ukulele playing or taking photos. Here are some of my favourites–don’t worry, I won’t post any of my ukulele playing.   (Callin...

Taking a Step Back
Posted
Lately I’ve been feeling a little… well, burnt out. Burnout is certainly something that I’ve experienced before–I get overwhelmed by the amount of things going on in my life and my effort to continue doing all them leaves me pretty exhausted. And, if you read my post about...

Top Ten Reasons to Visit Pittsburgh

Top Ten Reasons to Visit Pittsburgh
(Note: I wrote this as a fake clickbait article for school, but I actually think it’s pretty great. So I’m sharing it!) “Why would anyone ever want to go to Pittsburgh?” It’s a question I hear a lot, so I figured–why not answer it? Here’s my top ten reaso...

Finding Balance
Posted
Balance. You don’t have to know me very well or for very long to understand that balance is something that I really struggle with in my life. I’m not talking about my depth perception and center of gravity–although I am one of the clumsiest people you’ll ever meet, and ...

Another Summer, Come and Gone

Another Summer, Come and Gone
It’s officially the last weekend before school starts up again. Hard to believe–in some ways it feels like I was just in Ecuador yesterday, and in others, it feels like it was a lifetime ago. It’s been a short summer, in the way summers always are, but when I stop to think of ho...

Nothing More to Win
I always try to keep an air of professionalism when I talk about the Edmonton Oil Kings, but when you invest so much time and emotion into something over the years, spending countless hours in cold rinks, living and dying by the win-loss record of a hockey team–it’s hard to keep it se...

Memories of Quito
I was recently given the opportunity to embark on a 12-day trip to South America to do some communication research in Quito, Ecuador. At the very least, I thought, I’ll get class credit–for a mandatory 4th year course I had absolutely no desire to do in a classroom. And I have to say:...
