Weekly Update

I haven't made anything in months (except for podcasts, thanks to my partner shoving me along on that one). Barely written a word, only shot a few videos, wrote a couple of songs but haven't recorded them (it doesn't count if you don't record them. Anything else is just singing in the shower). It's got to the point where I'm having random nightmares about making stuff. It's not writer's block, writer's block is for chumps. Not life getting in the way, though it's done plenty of that.

More than usual. Sure, twice a week on Youtube, but this week the Ignite Waterloo 13 videos came out, including my talk  on the unsung benefits of charity events (which wasn’t my best, but turned out a lot better than I thought). I also make a brief appearance in Mad Art Lab’s Carl Sagan Day video, which is probably the closest I’ll ever come to making a video with famous people.

Other things are also afoot, Headshots from the Heart is getting rolling, music is happening, and I’m putting together a nerd event here in KW!
