Anatomy of a Movie Trailer
How many movie trailers have you seen in your lifetime? I would say I’ve probably seen thousands and I’ve never really thought much about them except that this particular movie looks good or this particular movie looks stupid.

When Reporters Push Boundaries . . .
May 6, 2012
Journalists have long been venerated as one of the most hated professions—as low as politicians and lawyers in many regards.

Pay for Journalism? Preposterous!
April 21, 2012

Happy Remembrance everyone, or since I’m down in Miami for the book festival happy Veterans day for all you Americans. Recently I read an article in Megaphone about how Canada needs to do more for its veterans who are increasingly ending up on the streets because of various mental or physical problems. Eighty-six percent of […]
