One Good Marriage, that one, that one

Just giving this a threadbump. We've had great shows so far. That said, it'd be nicer to have more bums in seats. If you're looking for something to do one night this week, check it out! The only night it's not playing is Tuesday.

I've made another post in my blog, this time musing on the nature of upgrading our computers. Quite a few on MIC are a tech-savvy crowd, so I'd appreciate it if you gave it a read, and maybe posted some comments to let me know your thoughts!

Hello again,

There's been a long delay with my participation on Maple Ink, a lot of that had to do with theatre work that I was lucky enough to be doing.

I've resurrected my blog, or at least began posting to it again, so between here and there, I'll be typing more words and sharing more thoughts about comics, fiction, and whatever else comes to mind...

I've also recently updated the look of the blog, so also check it out and tell me what you think!

[JasonM]

Another post on my blog, this time discussing a newfound hope in the Internet as a tool of social change...

[JasonM]

This time I've blogged about the Watchmen movie. A near-miss or a qualified success, depending on how you look at it...

[JasonM]

More bloggery, this time on the modern phenomena of oceangoing piracy... check it out. Feel free to get back to me with your thoughts, too!

[JasonM]

Yet more bloggery, this time about 5 things IBM came out with that could each be a story on it's own...

[JasonM]

I'm only this last time going to open this by stating that I'm pimping my blog, because anyone seeing this is probably quite clear on the matter...

Anyway, I've blogged about what it means to have your social-networked self stolen away from you...

[JasonM]

Some pre-reporting on my upcoming New York trip, and some musings on what the city means to people, and to me...

Follow the link!

[JasonM]

More bloggery; this time a long meditation on the departure of a friend from Facebook, his reasons why, and if it will make any difference...

[JasonM]

This time I've blogged about linking. Specifically, not just sharing links but giving a personal connection as to why...

[JasonM]

I've written a tiny love letter to the moon landing anniversary, over at the blog!

[JasonM]

I've finally blogged again, this time touching on the challenge of maintaining a momentum when dealing with a web presence...

[JasonM]

Hey all,

Another blog post, this one regarding holiday stress...

[JasonM]

More blogging: here I turn my attention to the recent film adaptation of Sherlock Holmes.

[JasonM]

I may have read the entire Internet.

Well, maybe not. (More at the blog.)

[JasonM]

I made a small movie for the Calgary production (and professional stage premire) of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along blog. It's an in-universe documentary that we played just before the show proper began... If you didn't see the Calgary show, just pop in your DVD after watching the video!

Over at the blog, I muse a bit on the creative process, particularly watching this clip with a theatre audience jazzed about the show.
