While Lilith Fair showed the importance of community, it also showed how fragile it could be. outofmygord.com/2025/10/07/lil…

At a recent conference, I found there was a huge gap in the quality of the experience between those that were there in the room and those that were attending online... outofmygord.com/2025/10/28/bei…

outofmygord.com/2025/10/21/say… It's hard to lose any of the icons of our youth, but these two – for me – felt different: sadder, more personal. It was like I had lost people I knew.

The world is a crappy place right now. And we all seem to have gained comfort from adopting the folk wisdom that “no news is good news.” outofmygord.com/2025/11/11/the…

I have seen marketing slip further and further into an ethical quagmire. Emotional manipulation, false claims and games of bait and switch are now the norm rather than the exception in marketing... outofmygord.com/2025/11/18/why…

Trump and the MAGA train have moved on to an endless list of other scandals and dumpster fires. I haven’t heard a whisper of the 51st state for a long time. But have Canadians moved on? outofmygord.com/2025/12/09/the…

It would have been in the mid 1950’s that my mother’s family bought their first cameras. Suddenly, many family events became multi-camera shoots.... outofmygord.com/2025/12/23/hom…

Singing as a group is one of those cultural universals; people do it everywhere in the world. And we’ve been doing it for ever, since before we started recording our history. Modern science has now started to discover why. outofmygord.com/2025/12/30/sin…

Like time itself, our history does not stay static. It is constantly being rewritten, depending on when and where we are and what our view of our own reality is. outofmygord.com/2026/01/06/wer…

I have always tried to live by the Kellogg’s Variety Pack Philosophy – everything in life is a mix – some things are great, some things you just have to put up with. outofmygord.com/2026/01/12/liv…

Resolve, resistance and resiliency aren’t things that can be consistently quantified. They are not static. The bewildering thing about humans when we’re faced with a crisis is this: the harder you push, the harder we’ll push back. outofmygord.com/2026/01/27/wha…

Despite the Internet’s hard pivot towards capitalism, Wikipedia is still around. It just celebrated its 25th birthday a few weeks ago. outofmygord.com/2026/02/03/hap…

Researcher Ben Lyons set out to find why those of us north of 60 are more likely to be led astray by online misinformation. Spoiler alert – it doesn’t have anything to do with our brains slowing down or lower information literacy rates... outofmygord.com/2026/03/03/how…

German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche wrote “All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking.” Nietzche seemed to be on to something... outofmygord.com/2026/03/10/wal…

I think there’s a correlation between neighbouring and living in the North. When you live in a place where the weather can kill you, you’d better be able to count on the people who live next door to you... outofmygord.com/2026/03/17/a-s…

This is more than just Canadians being fed up with an American president and his bluster. We’re also fed up with social media founders that have their noses firmly pressed up against said President’s posterior simply because it’s good for business... outofmygord.com/2026/03/24/the…

What Meta’s financial planners are probably talking about is the fact that – even in a worst legal case scenario – we’re talking about 3 to 4% of their total user base that may be legislatively restricted in some form or another... outofmygord.com/2026/03/31/met…

Now, in the age of misinformation and A.I. slop, every day is April Fool’s Day. Information (and misinformation) isn’t just abundant, it’s a pollutant. It’s everywhere and it’s often intentionally toxic. outofmygord.com/2026/04/07/no-…

We need a reliable Zeitgeist to set our personal compass to. When reality looks different for everyone, depending on the media we consume – well – we end with a world that looks a lot like the one we currently have. outofmygord.com/2026/04/14/alg…
