An unedited, many part series, written while the author juggles two businesses, a communications day-job, and brand new daddyhood. Like social media itself, it may be rough around the edges. And will be unpredictably episodic. This is the article that no social media professional wants to read. Heck, it’s the article that I don’t want […]
One of the cool projects I’ve recently launched is the Trent Talks/Trent Voices podcast. During the academic year, I did audio podcasts featuring major Trent University lectures — throughout the summer, I’ve been serving up great interviews on Trent Radio and posting them online. You can find both the Trent Talks and Trent Voices online […]
As managing editor of Trent Magazine, one of my favourite tasks is my editorial. Quite simply, it is my way to offer a few shout-outs while telling a (hopefully) amusing tale. This issue focused on Trent Alumni who have carved careers through their involvement in fine art. It features a number of people that I […]
While I have been selective about the projects that I’ve been taking on for Small Print, one I could not resist was a brand new fathering column with Kidz Ink. The Kidz Ink family of magazines goes out to cities and towns across Ontario. Here in Peterborough, it used to be called “Peterborough Kids” before […]
You may have noticed that things have been a tad quiet in the Small Print blog. That’s because the operations at Small Print Writing and Consulting have scaled back a bit. Being a new father, I’ve decided to scale back on the number of new clients added to our roster and take up part time […]
The headline from today’s Peterborough Examiner: Peeters, Fraser forfeit chance to run in 2018 municipal election after missing Friday’s deadline to file campaign expense returns I’ve been on the cover of the Peterborough Examiner more times that I can count — we’ll call it a couple of times a year, usually — and this is […]
I’ve written about/for quite a few musicians. And while I don’t usually blog media releases, I’m making an exception with this one. Rick Fines is launching his new CD tonight at Market Hall, and it is a real beauty of an album. Rick is the pride of Peterborough — and a guy who completely believes […]
I’m not trying to make waves. People are free to medically treat themselves with sunshine, hugs, pixie dust, homeopathy, or any form of quackery they see fit. Really, have at it. It’s a free country. Who am I to judge? But when it comes to preventing communicable diseases, it is a duty to ensure that […]
This is the fourth year in a row that I’ve taken part in publicizing Bell Canada’s Let’s Talk Day. It’s one of those rare social media “events” that I actually believe in getting behind. Because of that, allow me to apologize for posting some re-runs in this blog. It’s a busy time in my life […]
Much has been written about the level of entitlement that affects Toronto Maple Leafs players. In this four-year-old piece, I tackle what I believe to be the true entitlement that strangles this nearly 50-year-cupless team: that of ownership (see below for the full piece). The Leafs have it pretty easy. By being shown in most […]
