Attention Vancouver: INCOMING!
After an all-too-brief sojourn at an ecovillage on Vancouver Island, I’m headed back to the Big Smoke for the summer. Yes, I’ll still be in East Van, just a lot closer to Metrotown than to Oakridge this time. Time for me to ping my media contacts and get myself booked on some things to […]

The Internet: Circa 1880
March 19, 2014
There are SOME drawbacks to living 90% off the grid. The inability of a digital reporter to earn a living, for instance. I could solve this with a $10 unlimited data phone card from 7-11, a $200 thermal converter and an efficient rocket stove that would take two weeks to make, but in order to […]
Job: Digital Content Creator, Rainforest Alliance
March 15, 2014
It’s not often you see a job listing with THAT image, but it is today, and the job is a digital communications, fundraising, and strategy position with the very well-respected Rainforest Alliance.

Bitcoin News Roundup: ecologically responsible, safe, and officially currency: or is it???
March 14, 2014
It’s a mixed bag on the Bitcoin front today.

This means they’re saying it is a currency, […]

Bitcoin, Cryptocurrency, Crime, and Identity: a radio roundup
March 10, 2014
Here is my latest appearance on CKNW with Sean Leslie, talking Bitcoin. It was a busy week, with the continuing MtGox fallout, the hacking and closure of Flexcoin, and Newsweek’s purported discovery of the “real” Satoshi Nakamoto (wait, that part actually got cut. But it was funny, trust me). Enjoy? And in case Dropbox is […]
