Georgia Straight: Twitter is a dating service
My latest article has appeared in The Georgia Straight today [tgs]. The article is about social media services, most significantly Twitter, being used as a dating tool. The trouble is that while I've heard stories of people meeting via Twitter or on Facebook actually tracking people down who had was...

Remembering Conan on NBC
Conan O'Brian's last show on NBC was on Friday night. Unfortunately due to a bout of insomnia the night before I couldn't stay awake for the whole thing. However I do remember seeing Beck at one point, but that may have just been a fever dream. Now all we have...

Jeffery Simpson at #Nash72: the sessions recapped
From January 14th through to the 18th the Canadian University Press (CUP) held their 72nd annual national conference [cup] bringing university and college newspapers from around Canada together. After a few years away I returned to the conference, this time as a guest speaker. Here are the sessions I gave...

The Onion knows us former CUP types too well #Nash72

It reminds me of how I felt talking with Christopher Poon [tgs] about CUP conferences at The Georgia Straight's Christmas party this year. Titled "Former Editor Can't Believe Shit College Newspaper Is...

After I signed a non-disclosure agreement he showed me around their Edmonton office, which is conveniently connected to...

I'm with CoCo

And I arrive in Edmonton
It was a typical Vancouver day when I left. Walking from my apartment to Waterfront station to catch the Canada Line up to the airport I was soaked to the bone. Thankfully my Timbuk2 bags tend to stand up to the rain pretty well, and by the time I found...

Conan O'Brian's lifelong dream
"Hosting The Tonight Show has been the fulfillment of a lifelong dream to me. And I want to say to the kids out there watching, you can do anything you want in life unless Jay Leno wants to do it, too." ? Conan O'Brian

Conan O'Brian's statement on the NBC, Leno scheduling snafu
Having entered, as of this afternoon, a some what similiar period of uncertain continued employment I sort of know what O'Brian's going through, though I'm not a beloved comedian and probably less capable of weathering an extended period unemployed. Conan's show is the most enjoyable The Tonight Show has been...

David Letterman on NBC, Leno and Conan O'Brian
I feel sorry for Conan O'Brian in all of this.
