Shuriken Diaries

At the beginning of this year, Ryan Couldrey interviewed me for blogTO. Mostly because of that interaction, I ended up writing for blogTO. I'm sure I'm at least 10 years older than anyone involved with this Toronto arts & culture site, but I've been having fun and they don't seem to mind. Or maybe they just don't know yet.

Anyway, Ryan recently launched his own comic and I thought I'd give it a plug here. Shuriken Diaries is written by Ryan and illustrated by Sam B. It's updated every Monday and Thursday, and you can read the first strip here.

Ryan also has a great photo blog.



Speaking of blogTO, I created the graphic above for my blogTO post about 24-hour grocery stores in Toronto. Click through to see the comic I drew specifically for the post. If you know of other 24-hour grocery stories in the city, please post on blogTO, thanks.

I know, I know...it's ironic that I'm writing about 24-hour Toronto when I'm not a night person. But hey, I tend to get up around 6 or 6:30 a.m., sometimes earlier (insomnia). In the past I've found myself sending early morning e-mails to my friend Walter while he's sending his late-night e-mails. Sometime I think that guy never sleeps, I swear.

And for those on Facebook, blogTO has launched a new and improved Toronto Faves application. One of the new features: users can add their own reviews and recommendations!



I also have a new post up on Inkygirl: an interview with Lisa Yee, the author of the Millicent Minn series.

12 Fantastic Fall Photo Tips - Our Extra-Crunchy Guide to Leaf Peeping: My friend Ray told me about Photojojo. I've actually subscribed to their free newsletter; I very VERY rarely subscribe to non-writing e-mail newsletters but so far I've found every issue useful.

I've been in a Jonathan Coulton mood lately. This is one of my favourite songs, ever....



You can download your own copy of Jonathan Coulton's "Skullcrusher Mountain" from his downloads page. Here are the lyrics/chords, if you're curious.
